“I’m now about 4 months without any p/m/o and I’m noticing that when I see a suggestive image online or in a TV show or whatever, I’m still extremely conscious of a rush.”

“Internet porn can’t be causing problems for users because porn has been around forever. If it didn’t harm us then, it won’t harm us now.”
