    Depression . . . (help me)

    I'm depressed, it feels hopeless lately. Hearing that someone else has this experience too will help me, I think. I would benefit from a sense of community. Can you help me? I haven't seen any porn for 7 months, so that sounds like a success, but not too much because I still sometimes MO with...

    Shame and Excitement: useless

    Having learned a bit about behavior-change science and through my experience, I tend to think that both shame (for using porn) and excitement (for starting the rebooting journey) are basically useless, except maybe just at the start. You may make the decision to stop PMO based on shame (among...

    Need advice: What to tell my girlfriend

So, to this day, I haven't looked at any porn since I met her (and I don't plan to do so even again, whether with a partner or single).

    Try R.E.L.A.X. – A technique to control urges!

    Dear all, I came up with this technique to control urges (whether internal or triggered by sight of an attractive woman). It's working well for me. Try it out and let me know how it goes! (Thanks and disclaimers are at the bottom) When you have an internal urge (to watch porn) or external...

    When the porn remains in the brain after quitting . . .

    Hi all, I understand the Reboot world (not only this site) focuses on the problem of actual porn watching and how to quit that. I respect that. (I am completely clean now for 5 months and was in the past for almost 4 years before a relapse.) But my problem is that the porn may not be in front...

    Craving every (real) woman I see

    Hi guys, I struggle to find answers on the Internet about a specific issue, described below. I am already porn-free (5 months now) and I was also completely porn abstinent for 2 years in the recent past before a relapse. Does anybody currently in reboot and complete abstinence experience...
