    Hello Escapeandnevercomeback, I have a question for you. Do you do things on a daily basis which makes you happy? Are there things you love doing but you don't do because of porn or other reasons? Any hobbies? I find when I do things I want to do, love doing, it makes it easier for me to not...

    Hello Tryinghere, Thank you for your message. My apologize for my late respond. I think attraction to women is a good thing, not a bad thing. I meant we can find a women beautiful without the need to fantasize sexual about her like looking at her body parts, stare, get an erection and get...

    Hello H&M, May I share with you the following. There is a difference I learned in looking at a women and find her hot or beautiful.

    Hello H&M, Thank you for your post. I can understand why this sounds exaggerated and pointless to you because I was thinking the same like you back in 2015. There are addicts like me who are a quite sever case. The battle is not only behind a computer screen but can also be in real life, IF...

    I need to up my game.
