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 […]
Read More… from Am I asexual?
I’ve wanted to do a success story for a while, and what better time than less than 30 minutes after relapsing on my 175 day streak? For some background information, I’m 15 years old and started masturbating around the age of 12, although at that age it was a rare thing and I didn’t look […]
Read More… from Age 15 – 175 days, Social anxiety completely went away, motivation increased
I’ve always been really insecure of my flaccid penis and my erections. Once I realized it was because of PMO I knew that was it. It took me two years to really accept the fact. I was a very bad addict and three years later I still struggle with M and flatlines. But since I […]
Read More… from Age 22 – Best erection of my life! Almost over this life-long demon.
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
I started fapping around the age of 14, however I watched very few porn. I relied mostly on fetishes inherited from my childhood to get aroused. And as time went on, they became nastier and nastier, and the internet surely helped this trend. Around the age of 15, I was masturbating thrice a week. I […]
Read More… from Age 18 – Confidence went through the roof, destroyed critical exam!
COMMENTS: The controversy section of this paper contains the following: There are a number of electrophysiological-based studies, by Prause’s group that provide some evidence that sexual desire, not hypersexuality, predicts self-regulation of sexual arousal [92]. These investigators suggest in other work that subjects reporting problems regulating their viewing of visual sexual stimuli (VSS) who also […]

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 […]
Read More… from Age 27 – Got wizard powers back!
While I have slipped up a few times during this 8-weeks, I am 100 per cent confident I will never watch porn again, because the last time was so very boring. Like an alcoholic who has a beer after they stop over years and thinks it tasted like piss, I feel the same way about […]
Read More… from Age 41 – Making love again, 10 years of depression gone, better memory
This is long post is probably one for the lurkers out there: Fapping went from the background to the foreground for me. It never disrupted my life impartially in the most obvious ways, nor did it have a grip on my daily routines, but I’ve recently realized it’s having a toll on the one I […]
Read More… from Age 29 – ED improving, not well yet
Quick summary: Married for 15 years, addicted to Porn/Fapping for 25 years. Random occasions of ED. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve resisted the urge to PMO in the toughest of times – in hotel rooms while out of town alone, at home alone while family is away. These were automatic porn/fap times previously, not […]
