is that I only learnt about it a couple of months ago. I seriously wish that I had known the damage that porn can cause on the hearts, the lives and the minds of young men (myself included) years before this moment. If I had have known of this amazing Subreddit ten, five, or even […]

If you grew up on internet porn watching all kinds of porn and getting hooked on screen sex, you may not respond much to sex with a real person. This can cause massive confusion. Interestingly, those who quit internet porn often experience the return of their normal attractions, whatever they may be. In short, don’t […]
At 13 we got the internet at home, back in the days of dial-up, with mainly pictures and really crappy videos on the free sites. I wasn’t the most confident person, and I was incredibly shy when it came to speaking to girls, but overall, I was fairly popular at school, and pretty happy and […]

Page 2 of our rebooting accounts. See our original Rebooting Accounts page which contains over 2,000 more recovery stories, or Rebooting Accounts: Page 3, which is growing. Most of the accounts that address ED (erectile dysfunction) or DE (delayed ejaculation) mention them in the title. In addition to the main rebooting account pages, many more […]
For a decade I’ve been PMO-ing 1-2x every day and eventually it caught up with me. I’ve always had to deal with PE but with my last girlfriend (actually fiance) I had my first bitter encounters with ED. Of course it took its toll on our relationship and we eventually we broke up. Now, as […]
I want to start by saying that I feel to be somewhat in the minority here, since I am older and married 18 years – that’s more years than some of you have been alive. I’m not doing this in hard mode, and I am trying to have sex as often as I feel comfortable […]
This post is basically to summarize my whole experience so that it may help others. The amount of information in this forum and in yourbrainonporn.com helped me solve a lot of my issues so I’d like to give back.
