Background: Steele et al., 2013 and David Ley’s “Your Brain on Porn – It’s NOT Addictive“.

Well looks like I’ve conquered this challenge and I have to say it wasn’t hard at all. It was actually quite simple if you put yourself in the right mindset.

After 35 days of nofap, l feel a bit qualified but not entirely confident to tell my story. I have been addicted to porn for as long as l can remember. Porn has soothed me through rough patches of life, marriage and career. Seems that the escape of porn or masturbation (often a larger problem) […]

Im currently in 30h no […]

Suddenly, out of nowhere Mr. Burgess (@BurgessTherapy) employed multiple social media platforms to attack me and YBOP. Burgess’s targeted […]
Feeling one with the force since around day 65, decided to ask out the hot girl at the gym. Her exact words: “what took you so long, I have had a crush on you for like a year.” Little does she know I was completely absorbed in a toxic porn filled life until just recently […]
In my 90 days without PMO I haven’t come yet to grasp all the positive effects of this, but maybe it’s because I haven’t yet completely recovered from a break up three months ago, or maybe there is something else. I’m still somewhat depressed about this relationship, I loved this girl very much and I […]
In this post ill try to summarise not only my experience of my current 1 month streak, but also my experience of being connected and committed to NoFap for around 5 months, since I started in August, so this post will be long. Buckle up your seats since it’s a long post. My title summarises […]
