September 15, 2015 will be a year since I masturbated to porn (PMO). The journey was not easy and painful at some points; however the rewards gained through abstaining from porn are life changing. History I have been watching porn since I was age 12, I am currently age 32. My father gave me my […]
BEFORE: I have suffered so much in my life, for over 3 decades of dysfunctional relationships, a stressed/dead marriage with lousy sex (mostly cause of me) ED, porn addiction and sex addiction.
