    At what point do you start dating?

    I've struggled with PIED most of my young adult life. My goal is to one day become cured and to have a healthy relationship. I've put off pursuing girls until I become fully cured. However, I keep relapsing and so that day may never come, or might be a very long time away. A big reason I keep...

    Started so young, recovery possible?

    I began masturbation probably around the age of 10-11, obviously before puberty. The worst part is that it was prone masturbation, which is extremely harmful.

    Why do I keep self destructing?

    I've struggled with sexual dysfunction my entire life. My sexual development has been a perfect storm: At a very young age I masturbated prone (since stopped), discovered porn and got into fetishes. By the time I was in college I already had severe PIED. I had a girlfriend but I couldn't...
