Erections from watching porn, or physical stimulation of the penis, involve a testosterone-independent system. In […]
History Today, I am 41 days without P, 39 days without M/O, and most definitely would never have made it this far (or probably tried at all) without Marnia and Gary’s hard work on spreading awareness about this addiction.
