Hi, some of you already know me from other posts. But for the ones who don’t, I’m a 20 (21 this month) yo guy who was very addicted to porn since age 13, like minimum 3 times a day for 1-2 hours. As a result i became very desensitized and developed social anxiety, depression, social […]
I’ll keep this short, i wasn’t aware about this reddit and reading your stories is incredible as i went through the same troubles. I started in August after reading a post on the effects of hyper-sexuality on the brain and encountering ED which i later learned was PIED. I am married so i did this […]
Read More… from 8 months – married with ED: fantastic benefits
One of the most common and crippling side effects of porn use is chronic depression. What it comes down to is when you are that low day in and day out from your addiction, then what do you have to lose? If you get low enough to the point where you are suicidal (I was) […]
Firstly, I’m sad to say that my reason for posting this is completely egoistic: I really, really want to be that guy writing his 100 days report. The ones that used to be my idols are now starting to become my equals, which is in itself thrilling. Second, I would be a total douchebag if […]
Read More… from Age 23 – ED cured, more energy & confidence, cold showers did it
I’m finally staring 90 days in the face. I thought back to a time in my life when things were much darker. Isolated from people at times, not feeling good about myself, very withdrawn and a captive of the addiction known as PMO. Video games became an escape from reality and a crutch. Don’t get […]
Bit of background – I’m just turned 29, single and from the UK.. I’ve lurked on the subreddit for some time and eventually tried it towards the end of last year, did a few 3-4 weekers, and also hit a 47 day streak. But at the time I wasn’t counting days, just trying to get […]
Read More… from Age 29 – (ED) I am a much better person for it
Well I’ve made it to day 90 and I just wanted to share a few thoughts and explain my journey in a bit more depth to hopefully motivate others in the same way success stories did me on my way to get to 90 days. Initially it had not been easy but I can say […]

EARLIER POST – No Fap taught me I was afraid of sex That seems really strange (and difficult) to admit, but it’s true. I grew up in an environment that discouraged pre-marital sex. I do not necessarily think promoting abstinence is a bad thing, but it gave me mixed feelings about sex. Certain sex was […]
Read More… from Age 23 – It has definitely put sex back into perspective for me.
if you want a tl;dr, skim to the bolded points! Hey there! So I’ve actually reached 90 days twice now, and haven’t masturbated twice in the same month since last March. However, I never wrote up any 90 day report for either of the times I have reached 90 days and beyond. This community helped […]
