I’m 24 and probably started the combination of pmo at about 13. Since maybe the age of 19 that routine would last an hour and would be done daily. I came to know of this community through Gary Wilson’s tedx talk while browsing for ted videos on youtube but didn’t really do anything with the […]
Read More… from Age 24 – Anxiety so bad I was sent to a school counsellor. Pretty much gone.
My PMO story is like yours, porn, masturbation, orgasm, long sessions, extreme practices, always more extreme. In my case I had a bonus: erectile dysfunction, ED, which means in simple words, you can’t get it hard, or not hard enough. You feel like shit, your girl feels like shit … and that’s not good. At […]
Read More… from ED cured – It took a very long time to recover, it scared the s**t out of me
My sex life couldn’t be better other than we just don’t get to do it frequently enough (not her or my fault, as I have said before, privacy and time). As I have said before, it is mind-blowing! Wow, it’s hard to believe. What’s it like? Well, I can say a few things. Your desire […]

Read More… from Age 22 – PIED seems cured. There is hope out there fellas
I set myself a hundred day challenge because I’d had enough of feeling scared. I woke up every day and I was paralysed with dread. I’d lost control of my life. I didn’t know where my impulses were going to lead me next. My brain was a bad travelling companion who might rob me at […]
I’ve finally reached 90 days. I have to be clear that it wasn’t a completely clean one as I peaked at erotic pictures few times and O’ed to naked picture twice during the 90 days. However, I don’t believe in all-or-nothing so I never ended up binging. Here are my thoughts: Overall, I’ve changed my […]

Hi Everyone, I am 21 years old. I’ve been struggling with an addiction to porn and masturbation for 3 years, beginning since I was 16. My addiction was pretty bad in my opinion. I watched porn and masturbated on a daily basis. The longest I could hold out was 3 days before I would relapse. […]

Read More… from Age 18 – Proud to look at myself in the mirror! Much less Anxiety!
Throughout my teenage years, I did nothing but masturbate, internet binge, and play video games. Along with that, I had begun to develop crippling anxiety. At first it was just around girls, but then it evolved into being afraid of everything. I’m 19 now and I had a really bad experience with a girl 6 […]
