Earlier on Thursday, I wrote an article detailing how the popular porn site Pornhub had blocked itself from 13 different states, most of which are in the south. It did this over the claim that the laws these states passed requiring age verification put many people’s privacy in danger. The states, however, were arguing that […]

The Pelicot rape trial, which ended in France on Thursday, held a terrible fascination for almost every woman I know. As it unfolded in an Avignon court, I found myself following every awful detail, then discussing it with my female friends, my daughters, colleagues, even women in my local book club, as we tried to […]
Benefits so far :- – Other addictions like smoking, drinking, sexual fantasies dropped away.– Nice daily routine– The peace of mind is really great, and it’s the greatest thing I appreciate now.– I’m an honest person now. I confessed my mistakes to my family members(the hardest thing I’ve had to do), and they forgave me.– […]
I’m currently at 30 days no pmo (longest streak is around 1000 days).

I’m in my 50s and started out around age 12. I stumbled upon my dad’s stash of magazines and later his video tape collection. I was bullied as a kid and used this as a crutch. When I got older I had my own stash. Then when the internet arrived it was a smorgasbord of […]
I am super happy and proud to have done 120 days of NoFAP hard mode. 90-120 days have been the toughest. More than the initial 30 days. Lots of urges and temptations. I was doing fine and was planning to introduce sex and O into the mix if the opportunity posed itself as I was […]
