EARLIER POST – No Fap taught me I was afraid of sex That seems really strange (and difficult) to admit, but it’s true. I grew up in an environment that discouraged pre-marital sex. I do not necessarily think promoting abstinence is a bad thing, but it gave me mixed feelings about sex. Certain sex was […]

if you want a tl;dr, skim to the bolded points! Hey there! So I’ve actually reached 90 days twice now, and haven’t masturbated twice in the same month since last March. However, I never wrote up any 90 day report for either of the times I have reached 90 days and beyond. This community helped […]

YBOP Comments: the following is a response to an EEG study (Steele et al. 2013) published in July, 2013 by SPAN Lab. The study was promoted by Nicole Prause as a major challenge to the concepts of porn and sex addiction. YBOP analyzed this deeply flawed study at the time it was published: SPAN Lab […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve been active in this community, but I thought I owed you all a debt of gratitude in the form of this post, because now, finally, after a year of trying and failing and failing and more failing, I have achieved what I thought was the impossible – 90 […]
