Well, I’ve thought about this day for a while and I wondered if I would make it here. Here are some rules I set for myself and a description of my circumstances that I feel got me where I am now: I’m married and my wife knew I looked at porn on a regular basis […]
I have been suffering from depression since my freshmen year of high school. On top of that, I have had insomnia problems, high social anxiety, and apathy. But around 35 days something was starting to change: 1) Sleeping problems have gone away I actually kind of have the opposite problem now, I can sleep basically […]

Discovering YBOP was one of the single greatest things that ever happened to me. Flat out. I had my first ed experience at 19. I was a virgin. It sucked. I had been getting off from porn since I was 12. I avoided all sexual possibilities from then till I was 21. That was when […]

I Heart Unpredictable Love By RICHARD A. FRIEDMAN TO love is to suffer; to be happy is to love. So must one suffer to be happy? This syllogism won’t […]
I post extremely infrequently and have been but a quiet observer of the things that have gone on in these forums, but after reaching my goal I feel compelled to share with you my experience with the worst and possible greatest challenge I will face for a long time to come. My goal was to […]

Also, YBOP is NOT an anti-masturbation website. The name of this site is “Your Brain On Porn.” Confusion occurs because 1) this generation sees masturbation and porn use as synonymous, and 2) most men who recover from porn-induced ED claim that it’s best to also eliminate masturbation/orgasm (temporarily). Here are some articles about masturbation and […]
So I’ve finally made it to the big 90, and even though I don’t feel like my road has been that extraordinary I thought I’d share it with you guys, my fapstronaut brothers (and sisters), as I’ve seen some people getting inspired to keep going from these kind of stories, and if I can inspire […]
