Background – An Indian guy 34 years of age – had been watching porn since the age of 19/20. Before that I used to jerk off to magazines, even hot pics of celebrity women in newspapers, and my own dirty imagination (mostly weird/kinky sexual thoughts, because of my poor upbringing which is another story in […]
Just messaged for a reset so I apologize if the counter isn’t right. Initially, what drove me away from using porn was insistence from my girlfriend.
