So like I’m on day 81 of no masturbation and no porn. It’s been a crazy ride but goddamn it’s been good. I’m proud so say I’ve reached the 2 goals(reasons) of why I started the program from the beginning. I used to have a weak erection each and every time I wore condoms and […]

I am certainly not alone in my grave concerns about the Nicole Prause & Jim Pfaus ED paper (P&P). Recently, Sexual Medicine Open Access published a Letter to the Editor by Richard A.

I feel fantastic man, it is as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder and I can enjoy proper sexual intercourse with a woman and climax when I choose. Well worth the struggle. I as well notice my life improving through the building of strong habits. Anyone suffering from DE and PIED […]

We’re taught in schools that masturbation is healthy and there is no limit to when it becomes unhealthy (including a lot of pro sex talk regarding vibrators.) It’s simple, your brain is learning to enjoy sex in a way that is not natural or at all related to real sex so obviously it is going […]

It was May 15th of 2017 that I first started taking steps to reverse my PIED. During that same time I was also testing various antidepressants and ADHD meds so it’s hard to tell exactly how long it took to correct it since a lot of those meds had sexual side effects. I started seeing […]

Today is my 45th straight day without PMO! While I can’t say that getting to 45 days has eliminated all of the problems in my life (Spoiler Alert for those of you just getting started: Ditching porn and masturbation will NOT get rid of every issue that you are dealing with…), I can definitively say […]
