its funny you mention morning wood. i had one this morning (im almost 4 months into no pmo and a nearly 14 year addiction) and really havent had them since i was a teen either. Definitely a welcomed minor inconvenience!

If you're serious about swimming there may be a pool at a gym nearby to you. I'm in the boston area and while it might be tough to find commercial gyms that have pools, there's usually a YMCA or similar that you can join. Just a thought. Im lucky that i can work out at home but if I had...

I'm sure swimming would be a great option too as there is very little pressure on the joints. It is also a sick cardio workout

That's great buddy, staying active is super important for overall health but also for P recovery. I read on a P recovery website that there was a study on dopamine receptors that was conducted in recovering meth addicts. Half of them vigorously exercised while the other half didn't. The result...

congrats on 1.5 years clean my dude. No more porn!

checking your wife out sounds like the best option ;)

Congrats. Noticing any benefits?

Congratulations on your full recovery from a 15 year addiction. I myself have been an addict for around the same amount of time as you and I am closing in on 120 days free from PMO as well. For me i know it is going to take me a long time because i escalated into some pretty extreme genres and...

The least to do would be to educate people before thy start their consumption. I view it almost looking like how the UK or even the USA does with cigarettes, where they have graphic warning labels on the side of the box of cigarettes (UK) or just a written warning on the side of the box like the...

Absolutely agree with you here. This type of content being readily available I'm sure was known to negatively effect the entire part of life with regard to courtship, romance and pair bonding in general. This stuff is toxic and is what I like to call "spiritual heroin." The complete...

my advice to you is to get a blocking software along with an accountability partner, and completely eliminate PMO and any related fantasies. it is very difficult to resist urges that come from addiction related brain changes like P addiction, primarily due to the deficiency in the prefrontal...

I think all those will definitely help with recovery. Definitely avoiding MO for the rest of my days too. Such a useless past time

thanks my man i appreciate it. i definitely would agree with educating the kids on addiction and all the stuff we now know about it. I think it will serve as a way to sort of develop immunity against the wrong viewpoints surrounding Cornography, namely things like "oh it is healthy" or a...

thanks brother i appreciate you and all you've contributed to this community. keep up the great work and thanks for reaching out

Thanks for sharing that. I feel the same way. When we choose to live our lives for others, particularly our family, it becomes much easier to forego the selfish things we used to do with the P problem. I'm striving to be a good example for my son and shutter to think of how I would feel if he...

ah okay! my wife is from brazil so same (besides the dialect) language. Prazer em conhecer voce!

Gracie, this line of logic is fallacious, and is known as an "ad-hominem". I've attached a picture of the argument pyramid so that the discourse can stay more respectful, which would be more in step with what the conduct of a moderator on an important forum such as this one should be. If you...

This is accurate. I didn't say intimacy was the most important thing nor did I even insenuate it. Again, accurate. I would wager that the vast majority of addicts really had no idea at the start of their P usage that there are harmful effects of P use, and that it could become addictive...

glad to hear. ive got pied and a massive reduction in sensitivity and am looking forward to getting those back again God willing!

Perhaps you didn't read the latter half of my response above so I'm going to copy and paste it here for you. Have a great day. "This post wasn't an attempt at eluding therapy, obfuscating blame that the addict bears, or the necessity to heal the wounds in relationship caused by the behavior."
