So I’m 6 months porn free (still masturbating but not to porn). I’m a 25(m) and started watching porn at 11 years old. I used porn daily from 11 to age 19. From the ages of 19-24 I realized I had some PIED issues and tried to pinpoint the issues and cut down on my […]

Wow. As a 16-year-old who used to masturbate 3-5 times every single day, the thought of hitting 90 days seemed like a far-fetched dream. But here I am, with tears at the edge of my eyes, sitting at my bed, surprised at the fact that the last time I masturbated was at the 1st of […]
