I’m a 22 year old virgin and started my journey because of PIED in a very bad state…I couldn’t even get it up to porn anymore, it was literally dead. I started watching porn at the age of 10-12…not sure about it and from then I was watching it every single day and fapped 1-2 […]
Read More… from Age 22 – ED is almost cured. Social anxiety mostly gone. Need more time.
Hey guys, thanks for sharing your stories, they all helped my on my way. Now the time has come to give you mine. My story: Attempt 1: Failed after 12 days. Attempt 2: Failed after about 20 days. Attempt 3: Failed after 31 days. Attempt 4: Last 90 days. Feels good. How did I get […]
Read More… from ED: The sex is now amazing – much more creative, much more fun, much more honest
THERE’S no cleaning up the language when you’re talking porn with Gabriel Deem, a man who says from the age of 11 he regularly consumed obscene megabytes-worth of pornography.

10 days ago I announced to the world that I accomplished 40 days of being clean from porn/fap and I will keep doing that every 10 days. Today marks the 50th day of my journey. I know that people here often say that streaks are not that important but they present a great value to […]
Read More… from Age 25 – Improved eye contact, More social, Improved concentration

Read More… from Age 48 – Chronic ED cured, Improved mood, Sleep better, Women are now beautiful
If this looks familiar I had a thread in the PIED section which had 400 views with my journal. I decided to make this thread because 90 days seems to be the benchmark that a lot of people aim for (at least at first) so I thought people might be interested in seeing exactly how […]
Read More… from Age 20 – ED: Confidence roaring back, feel more manly
I haven’t PMO’d in exactly 100 days. I won’t hide it, I am actually kind of proud of it, but I still have a couple things to say, partly to the new guys, but also to some of the “veterans”. To those of you who think this is stupid: It’s not. It really isn’t. You […]
Read More… from Age 16 – You wouldn’t believe how much my life has improved in the past hundred days
My 90 day post. I am 100% not the same person I was 90 days ago. Not that I am completely someone else, but that I am so polished as a person that you would not mistake me for who I was 90 day’s ago. This is akin to someone having a lump of dirt […]
