Upside of Early-Life Stress? Mice raised under stressful conditions are more adaptable as adults—and may pass this trait on to their pups. By Kate Yandell | November 18, 2014 A number of studies indicate that stress experienced in very young animals or humans can have negative effects on mental and cognitive health that can later […]
Results after achieving 300 days of NoFap What I have found out is that the best way to deal with it is cram your life into deliberate awkward public situations so you cannot sneak peek at porn when the urge arrives. Work on tasks that really challenge you both mentally and physically. Take time out […]

Hola Fapstronauts! My first post on this sub 🙂 Background: Been PMOing since I was 18 years old. There were years (when I was 20-21 yo and when I was 24-26 yo) where I fapped once or twice a day. I have been a fit guy with a decent career, but a couple of years […]
Read More… from Age 25 – 47 days report….inching towards normalcy!
Hey guys. I’ve been away from here for a while because I finally learned one of the keys to curing oneself is to quit counting the damn counter and just get out and live life. I had completely normal, great sex last night. I also had great sex about a week or so ago. I […]
Read More… from Age 24 – ED cured, even when I thought it would never happen (20 months)

Read More… from Age 16 – You wouldn’t believe how much my life has improved in the past hundred days
Recently, it came to me attention that http://www.masturbationfreedom.com had posted a link to this website. I find this especially interesting because I had tried to get help from pastors but to no avail (in my case). Let me be very plain about this from the start, my primary motive for ridding myself of porn and […]
