I am a 28-year-old bisexual man. I never thought women liked me. I always had trust issues with them (and with world in general!). Ever since I discovered Porn (around the age of 15!), my relationships have followed a predictably ominous pattern with even more disastrous results. I grew up with an abusive dad. I […]
I finally did it boys. After all this time, all the pain, the misery, the crying, the hopelessness. All the questions about myself and why I am different, why I couldn’t fuck. Why I had to be into this weird porn and not able to just enjoy regular relationships or sex. I remember waking up […]
Age 23. My life has changed right in front of my eyes! At the same time, a lot is still the same. But I know things will continue to change over time. It is in my own power to change them. NoFap gives me that power. No, you will not gain “superpowers” although at times […]

I’m 23. I’ve always wanted to quit porn since college but I always fail. I’ll have streaks of 1-2 weeks then relapse. My longest streak was probably 1 month. Then last October I started to work and then I had a 30 day streak accidentally due to busyness of my schedule I didn’t have any […]

I’m 21, and have suffered with pied since around 17. The last year I’ve been on nofap and no porn and my symptoms have improved significantly. I can now have good sex, 100 percent hard and aroused for one round every few days… However this is a really long refractory period and I want it […]

Comments: This study reports poorer executive functioning and lower activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during the cognitive tests (Stroop test). All this indicates poorer prefrontal cortex functioning, which is a hallmark of addiction, and manifests as the inability to control use or suppress cravings. ————————————————– Front.

I came here a year ago on the verge of losing a wonderful relationship. I have not viewed porn or masturbated for the last 365 days. I have sex regularly, but went 30 days without it at the onset of my journey. In the last year, I have accomplished many of the things I failed […]
Read More… from Age 35 – Bought a house, learned to code, sex life is wonderful (no more PIED)
~Warning: there may be some light trigger words in this post~ I’m very new to this whole community but I found it when I was searching for why I had a difficult time getting it up with my girlfriend for sex. We are currently long distance and see each other about every 2-3 weeks. So […]
Read More… from Age 17 – Porn-induced ED cured. Used “edging” to beat the flatline
I just wanted to share that progress is possible! During the last 6-9 months, my erections during sex were about 50% of max, with some episodes of non-erections. Just awful frankly…..I began to feel like less of a man, and depression was beginning to creep into my thoughts, yet I kept on fapping often. After […]
Read More… from Age 43 – PIED gone, very stimulated by my wife. I’m back!
Wow quite a journey, Here’s a list of everything that happened in the last 101 days, by far biggest time of personal growth ever. Depression pretty much gone, I could evaluate my life, I see what isn’t working and what is. I can identify toxicity. I’m going off anti depressants soon. My depression was so […]
