Are we waxing away the line between adults and children? At present, our culture both underestimates the power of erotic cues and misinterprets their significance. That is, sexual cues are presumed harmless because sexual tastes are thought to be hardwired whatever one views. Two circular assumptions follow from this faulty premise: First, we assume that […]

I can confidently say that my ED is toast, and this site, along with a lot of you people, is why. First off, let me tell you that this will not be the worst case you’ve ever read. In fact, my success story is pretty tame (although unique) compared to most of what I’ve read […]

This is going to long. I warned you. And it’s also going to be uncomfortable, even painful and scary. Hope is scary.

I am proud to say I have gone 50 days without shooting a load, not even a wet dream. I don’t even feel horny anymore (but I’m not flatlining) and I think I know why….. I have thrown myself into my music. I am already an OK pianist, but since January I have been pushing […]

So yesterday I broke a nine week no-porn streak. I’m going through a bunch of shit right now, and I reasoned that watching porn would free up some willpower for other challenges.

Although my PMO-usage was very controlled throughout summer (2 sessions a week approx), I’ve come to the conclusion that it actually had a big effect on the not-so-great […]

In the past two weeks I had successful sex with three different girls. I think it’s a good enough sign that my PIED is now cured and I’m ready to continue living healthy life without burden of shame, fear, guilt and self-doubt on my shoulders.

I have been a silent observer in panic mode since May of this year. I am 34 years old. I started looking at dirty pictures at a young age, but I never really delved into internet Porn until I was married and miserable. That was ten years ago. A year ago, I began to consider […]
