YBOP COMMENTS: New study reports large percentage of child porn (CP) users have no sexual interest in children. It was only after years of viewing adult porn, resulting in habituation to new genre after new genre, that porn users eventually sought more extreme material and genres, eventually escalating into CP. Researchers point to the nature […]
I started regarding pornography as addictive after a friend, a physician’s assistant working in a urology clinic approached me with concern. He told me that several emerging adult men, ages 18-25, we’re coming into the clinic with problems associated with Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

27m. I’m not sure I’ve ever gone longer than 10 days without porn since I was a preteen, but here I am! I’m not sure if I would have qualified as an addict, so maybe this sub can shed some light. I have never tried a porn free challenge. I watched for about 5-10 minutes […]

I still can’t believe this happened. For over 3 years I’ve been trying to get away from pmo and nothing worked until I found this community. The last year was just an awesome journey overall. I met my girlfriend of now over seven months, improved massively when it comes to doing chores and just regular […]

I can’t really say this to any of my guy friends, I think because porn is so heavily promoted as must-to-have in a happy life, especially with how liberal sex is becoming in western society. But I want to say something. Giving up porn was the best thing I did for myself and my marriage. […]

I am victorious. I don’t need to fap anymore. Something clicked about 10 days ago I think but it is so clear to me now. When I feel sexual desire, I want to have sex not masturbate. That is how it always should have been. I fapped as a habit since I was 13 until […]
