First we’ll look at the science; then we’ll consider what it might mean for those masturbating more frequently than they would have without […]

I just wanted to share my story as this thread and others got me out of a bad place. When I was around 20 I stumbled onto r/nofap and only took it with a grain of salt and thought this was madness. As I continued daily PMO ever since I was about 17. It wasn’t […]
