Before I started nofap I had a few girlfriends. They were all women that I was genuinely interested in but I had one unusual problem. I never wanted to have sex with them. I was a virgin at the time and all of my friends were telling me I had to loose it, but I […]
Read More… from Porn will rob you of your sexuality: I was not attracted to real women
A couple years ago, I stumbled across some research and articles about the pornography and the negative effects it could be having on men and their sex lives. I found it interesting, but never gave it too much thought after that. Then some time last year I stumbled across this video. It caught my attention […]

Some of you old-timers might remember me from posts like [the one below]. Hopefully you didn’t think I had given up on this wonderful process because I haven’t posted in a while. On the contrary.

Read More… from Age 38 – 6 months: This works, gentlemen. Porn has been cock-blocking you
I started pmo’ing from early high school days. Started with still pics, graduated to video. I fell victim to the same problem as others, started with normal and moved on to more hardcore videos.

Read More… from Age 20 – My story of success & overcoming failure.
COMMENTS: Wow – an actual study about Internet porn addiction. Study found cue-induced cravings, similar to drug addicts, predicted porn addiction. Contrary to popular belief, unsatisfying sexual life had no correlation to porn addiction. Supporting the gratification hypothesis means addiction-like behaviors in response to ones chosen addiction. Laier, C., Pawlikowski, M., Pekal, J., Schulte, F. […]
COMMENTS: Very few objective, controlled studies have been done on Internet pornography. Important findings in this study are that neither time spent viewing porn on the Internet nor personality factors were associated the level of reported problems with Internet porn use (IAT sex score). Instead, it was intensity of the experience and amount of novelty […]
I’m 41. I started using porn in about 1989. My mates and I would connect a pair of VHS VCRs to make and share apalling-quality tape-to-tape copies of whatever porn we could get hold of. I would take these home for PMO. I would dial-up bulletin-boards and wait patiently to download images one at a […]
