Read More… from I more or less lived with depression & anxiety since my late teens: Both are gone.
I am in my mid-twenties, started fapping for sure before I was 10 and never stopped for longer than few days when I did not have possibility. I actually perceived fapping as something good for my head as it releases stress in hard situations. I am making my living from home as web designer so […]

This is an interesting observation, I’ve had others say the same thing.
