I had been an addict to masturbation since I was 16 (I’m now 25). Addiction does not begin to describe what I had. Started with medical material and ended up with all kinds of weird porn. From 3-4 times a week to 8-9 times a day (my balls hurt so badly the next day). I […]

I’ve been lurking here for awhile now and thought I’d post my success story to encourage others and maybe provide some insight in the process. I’m a 30 year old SWM who is otherwise healthy. I stay pretty fit and active with no known medical problems. Never been abused, no trauma, injuries, etc. I started […]
Insomnia, headaches, a couple periods of flatlining, maddening temptation and the feeling of uncertainty when facing the problems of your life without a fap security blanket. I experienced all of these things in these 90 days. Why would anyone want to go through it?! Well, this is a clear case of how enduring temporary pain […]

I’ve gone 120+ days and my most effective failsafe device in terms of preventing relapse was one question. Every time I felt like fapping I asked myself, “If you could masturbate right now, but without porn and without any fantasy, would you still do it?” Almost every time the answer came back “No” and that’s […]
