Every day, a group of men and women around the world digitally congregate at a Reddit board called NoFap to specifically discuss not masturbating.

I missed my 90-day Victory post, so here’s a 100-day one! I won’t drag this out. This was my position when I started this journey: a PMO-addicted wreck. This is what’s happened since then: I reclaimed the ability to physically have sex (i.e. get it up without the aid of porn and/or my hand) I […]

I’m 27 years old and I spent upwards of a decade addicted to porn, and suffered from severe ED for six of those years. This time last year, I was wondering if I’d ever be able to have a healthy relationship with a woman. With the ED being such a recurring problem, I just didn’t […]
