Introduction I consider to have started my NoFap journey on September 2019, so it is almost 4 years in the NoFap journey. NoFap has lead to absolutely massive positive life changes for me and I thought I’d give something back to the community. Particularly I wish to give hope to those struggling with ADHD that […]
There’s a semi-viral tweet by a porn-industry friendly sexologist, David Ley, going around claiming that a well-known study from China has been retracted. The problem is that the underlying research hasn’t actually been retracted. If you find this confusing, you aren’t alone. Scientists who conduct research on problematic porn users (and related topics) often face […]
[January, 2023] 60 days ago started my reboot. Addicted to PMO for 13 years. Had weak erections and DE and used not to enjoy sex. Would wank almost daily. The books that changed my life was Power Over Pornography by Brian Brandenburg and Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wilson . I’m more confident can […]

Read More… from Age 38, 25 years of addiction, now lots of benefits
New here, been lurking for the last few months, and today I am 90 days free from PMO. I wanted to share my story, and hopefully give other people hope, much like the hundreds of posts I’ve read myself that helped me through this. Sorry for a long post. I’m 33 years old, male, and […]
Read More… from Age 33 – DE, addiction, overcame a monster that had grown inside me for years
Excerpts: “Pornography can become an addiction and watching too much of it has been shown to damage deep relationships.” “The rate at which young people are going without sex has been steadily rising.” As many as four in ten young adults are in the midst of a year-long dry spell when it comes to sex.
