This puts less sexual frustration and stress on the brain from chronic masturbation. I can literally feel my brain relax. My blood pressure has decreased as well. Also, I […]

Ever since I discovered Porn (around the age of 15!), my relationships have followed a predictably ominous pattern with even more disastrous results. I grew up with an abusive dad. I […]
I finally did it boys. After all this time, all the pain, the misery, the crying, the hopelessness. All the questions about myself and why I am different, why I couldn’t fuck. Why I had to be into this weird porn and not able to just enjoy regular relationships or sex. I remember waking up […]
Comments: This study reports poorer executive functioning and lower activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during the cognitive tests (Stroop test). All this indicates poorer prefrontal cortex functioning, which is a hallmark of addiction, and manifests as the inability to control use or suppress cravings. ————————————————– Front.

To have achieved this level in the pornfree lifestyle is a wonderful feeling! Life has it’s ‘ups’ and ‘downs’, and I can quite honestly say that I was ‘up’ the majority of the last 6 months. These days I’m in a great mood all the time. I feel like a king. I feel like I […]
