Porn is a tool. Really just that simple. We use it to get high. Does not work that way for everyone, but for the people here, it is a button we push to get a dopamine high. To answer the original question: I am not addicted. Was once. Fixed it. That hurt, but once fixed, never going...

Back when I was actively posting, as in regularly, I would tell members that porn talks to you, porn reasons with you, porn laughs with you, cries with you, jokes with you, argues with you, reasons with you, agrees with you, disagrees with you, flatters you, insults you, etc.... I am afraid, my...

Hi Smokey, thanks for the kind words. Gary Wilson called it "The Great Porn Experiment." It was, and it is, but now to a lesser extent. We, us, humanity, did not have High Speed Internet Porn until...well, you know, until we had High Speed Internet Porn. For some of us, our brains were not...

"Will I ever recover from such morphed sick P addictions." Only if you want to. For me, at this point, what you call porn addiction, has become sort of an arm's length extension of the study of human neuropsychology. You are not addicted to porn. No one ever has been, nor to sex. You are...

We are not done yet. We, being humanity, are not done inventing addictions. We like to invent addictions, even if, after we do, many of us hate it. It is important to understand that we do not suffer from addiction, we do not "catch" it; for those who have addictive personalities, as they...

In March, 2014, a lot of people, mostly males, but females also, were struggling with a condition that came to be known as "porn addiction." It was in that time that Gabe Deem created RebootNation, and many, many people were grateful, including me, because it gave us a place to voice our fear...

@ NYC. Excellent work NYC. The history of the internet is interesting. The history of High Speed Internet Porn as a means to an end in porn/dopamine addiction should be understood in quitting. We have to know what we are quitting, and how the problem is really 100% above the belt and between...

Whoa, Whoa, no, no, stop, kidding, joking. If you are here and identify as an addict, you better grow a sense of humor, even if it is gallows humor, because, honestly, our predicament is absurd and ridiculous. We are addicted to surfing porn, dropping trow, and rubbing one off, over and over...

Excellent work!

One week and you have not gouged your eyes out or gnawed your fingers off. I think congrats is in order. Much love. William.

No one talks an addict into quitting unless it is the addict themselves. The guy you describe is ignorant, which means, literally, without knowledge. You could try to give him knowledge, but it probably would not go anyplace. The guy may not be an addict. He may not want to stop because he...

1) Recognize you have the problem. It cannot be fixed if it is not recognized as a problem. "I am addicted to porn." Pretty harsh thought, and arguably not technically correct, but think it. Look yourself in the mirror and say it. Define the problem. Define the solution, which is...

I used K9 porn blocker when I was quitting. It will not fix you, but it works, when you understand it, as a reminder not to look for P, which is so easy to do. It won't stop you from getting to P if you are determined, but it works as an effective reminder that you are training your brain to...

@OP. It is important to understand that you may reset in days, but, really, you have made great progress. You are not going back to the day before you quit. You are going back to the day before you slipped. Those two guys don't look like each other.

No prob bro. Gabe knows all this, and he will answer if you ask.

A couple of points: Sex is not porn, porn is not sex. This forum is a porn addiction forum, so most of the information is porn focused. To answer the question, in the context of porn, not only can it happen, it happens regularly. This has to do with the cycle of sensitization...

Hi. Once a week I send out about 10 private messages to newbies. Though not especially religious, I call it "sending out prayers." The purpose of this message is to give you a bit of help starting. I wish someone had sent me this message when I was first starting; it would have made things...

Today. Gary showed us the way out. Before him I thought I had a problem with porn. After him, I knew I had to have a long and difficult conversation with my brain. Anyone here thinks they are addicted to porn....you are not. You are addicted to addiction. Take a moment to know yourself...

I am here and there brother. It is OK. You will be just fine. There is nothing here that cannot be fixed. It's just time and effort. That has to be known going in, going forward. Time and effort. Easy is out there ahead of you. You need to put the time in. Fixing it takes time and...

There is no hard science that sets how long it takes to want it less than to want it more, but, many people say at around 90 days your brain starts to bend back to pre porn normal. Having quit many years ago, I can assure you that there is a "tipping point" out there where you wake up one day...
