Alright, after struggling through the process of giving up porn for several years, I’m happy to say that the struggle has reached a resolution.

Before I tell you my story here is a little bit of info. I started watching porn and masturbating in middle school around age 12, I am a 22 year old college student now. I would PMO 3-4 times EVERY DAY for 10 years. As you guys can guess, I came here when I realized […]

I am about halfway through 90 days of no PMO. I used to PMO upwards of 8-9 times a day at my worst. Since cutting out PMO, the benefits have been immense.

I’ve suffered from Delayed Ejaculation my entire life. I lost my virginity at 14 years old. Even then I didn’t finish. Today marks the first time in my 37 years on earth that I didn’t suffer from DE. I was able to finish, and I finished strong. After 60 days of NoPMO I stored up […]

I am 24, and have been using porn since early teens, pretty much exactly the same as Gabe to be honest. Oh what was I thinking right? Don’t you just love hindsight. I know you got to roll with the punches in life but man, a broken noodle is one low blow from the man […]
Read More… from Age 24 – ED, now my erections are the hardest they have ever been
It’s been over 90 days since I quit porn cold turkey and started my first ever streak (+- since our counters broke down). The nightmare mode streak, as I call it. At 27 yo I currently have no GF, do not plan to use escorts, never used or plan to use drugs or alcohol, and […]

It’s been over two months since I’ve last decided to share my experiences on this subreddit, so I thought it was about time for a little update. I’m 23 years old now, and still a virgin. I’ve been doing PMO for as long as I can remember (more on that in the previous update) and […]
