It’s crazy to me how much porn changed us. Somehow, we all ended up as anti-social zombies. You really see the difference in your character if you don’t fap for a while. I only had one girlfriend in my life and that was after high school from 2015-2017. It was a super toxic relationship and […]

It’s been a little over 3 weeks since I’ve come clean to my wife and almost 3 months since I’ve stopped consuming pornography.

Just to clear things, I have been on about 95 days Hard Mode then my girlfriend visited recently, and with my PIED being cured and all, we had a lot of fun. I thought I might as well share what I experienced through these 90 days briefly. I’ve had my ups and downs. Flat lines […]
