Well today has been decent. I had decent morning wood (though I have since I quit porn 6 months ago). Really concerned about the withdrawal. I don't wanna come off as weird or creepy and I REALLY am not looking forward to the zoning out/brain fog. I am going to try an meditate every single day...

Hello Gentlemen. I just want to start off by apologizing for my absence. I have neglected this community badly. I am making a concerted effort to return. So good and bad news. Bad news: I started relapsing a few weeks ago. At first it was just peeking, the edging to it, then finally I would...

Update: My date went great! She's a very cool girl to be around. She's had bfs in the past but is still a bit timid. She also told me she hasn't dated anyone before Covid started so it has been several years for her. We had a good meal together. I paid the check and she got our waitress'...

Update: things going well with girl I'm talking to. We haven't gone on our date yet but have been texting. Last night our texts actually got pretty...steamy. She is very into me, more than I thought. My texts were super smooth and sensual and not sleazy and I was focused on fantasy of her in my...

Lol thanks so much dude. I guess my concern is if I don't try and sleep with her I will come off as not confident. Maybe I'm just warped by porn use and social media. I also don't wanna seem to physically clingy and just keep kissing on her. Gotta remember how to time my kissing, hand holding...

Well of interesting note gentlemen...I still haven't relapsed yet so going mostly strong there and today...I got a date with a girl who came into my work. She's come to shop there for years and I've always thought she was cute. She has always made an effort to talk to me so we talked for quite...

Hey guys, apologies for long absence. Been a tough week. Been a struggle. Almost relapsed the other day but I didn't. It's just so jarring to go from so much stimulation (not just porn) to virtually none. I am starting to dissociate sometimes because of it which is making things harder to...

"Giving too much importance to sex." 100% exactly. My emotions are more of a wreck and I'm more anxious than I have been in a couple years just from withdraw, including other addictions and habits. Bad sexual habits and diefiying sexualitly is so difficult to overcome, but everyone must fight...

Keep going man. I was reading your earlier posts and honestly was making me tear up. I am going thru withdraw from multiple addictions and habits and it's making me anxious and spacey as fuck. Stick with it man, we gotta work our asses off and fight! This is our lives! Bless you dude. Stay strong

Hey guys. Been a tough last couple days. I haven't relapsed, just dealing with mental health and stability as always. I'm wondering if I just abused extreme sensations so long (porn, alcohol, sometimes drugs, food even) that foregoing a lot of it has massively lowered my serotonin or something...

Been a few days since I posted. Still going strong with zero porn. I feel like I'm starting to get to some kind of flatline stage, not sure though. Masturbation isn't as rewarding as it has been but hey at least I know I am overcoming my attachment to porn use. Working in quitting smoke still...

So it's been a few days and has been quite an experience for me for life and social development. As said in my first post, I am a manager of a retail store. Well, me and about 15 other managers in my sales district went to a conference out of state for a few days. The main focus was training to...

Things happen, man. Relapses can happen, but get back on that horse and keep going. And don't think 47 days was a complete waste; it shows discipline and that you have the strength to resist for long periods. Also, has helped work toward rewriting bad behaviors. Fight on and kick this things...

HOLY SHIT you guys this may seem like a super TMI post but I am so goddamn proud of myself and changing my bad sexual habits. So, haven't looked at porn in nearly a month. Haven't jerked to it even longer. When I was really heavily into porn use (2-3 times orgasming to it a day) I sometimes had...

Man am I proud of myself. When I jerked today, the sleazy thoughts of porn barely entered my mind. I pretty much entirely focused on the realistic recollections of sensations I felt the last times I did have sex. I had a pretty solid erection for most of it. Never going back to porn ever. Such...

Doing decent today. I am more focused on change than I have been in many years. Part of being a man is using what you have available to change things and improve, to approach life with humility about what you can't change and willpower to enact what you can. I am going to try to stop...

I am on the path to quitting myself. I haven't watched or peeked much at all, but I am jerking to thoughts about porn. I don't know if this helps but there has been a way I have been framing it: it isn't natural. It is your brain addicted to dopamine. Most men who ever lived only ever saw a few...

Things are going okay. Still haven't watched porn again. Masturbating is getting more difficult with keeping an erection. I'm wondering what point I should cut off doing it completely? I've started to realize I need to find more hobbies. Something to focus more energy on. It's important to...

Kinda proud of myself that I am improving some. TMI I masturbated earlier, and while I had some porn thoughts flash in frequently, I did not watch porn at all and, I am extremely happy to say, jerked for about 20+ minutes with a COMPLETELY solid erection for 90% of it. I know I've got to get off...

So just some observations I've had: some may not agree and I'm sure some have also came to a similar point. This sounds like a super feminist take, and maybe it is a little, but honestly I approach it from a perspective of just what is healthy and proper for stable and successful men. I live in...
