Thanks for the note, Lyon. New place...a relief. And as I stated before, not the porn palace it would have been had I landed there before no-PMO (a little scary to contemplate, but I feel like I dodged a bullet.). Today...no desire for porn, and a growing annoyance with friends who are totally involved with the pron/ quick hook-up thing. I'm not preaching to them, but I'm noticing the sex-obsessed conversations (one-sided at this point, because I'm not adding to it), the boredom they show when the conversation turns to anything interesting to me, and an overall feeling that change becomes a lot deeper than I might have thought, when I realized porn didn't work for me anymore. So...a new circle of acquaintances. Pretty funny, I'm in AA and go to a men's meeting once a week. One AA concept is "sex run riot," that addicts are governed by out of control instincts, with ever more desires and decreasing satisfaction. Sex topic discusssions always tend toward confessions of affairs, told in kind of smug, smirky way. I brought up porn and masturbation (to absolute silence among the group), and mentioned YBOP. When I was done, every single person who shared afterwards fessed up to porn abuse, and "never realized that could be a problem." Gave a lot of guys this website. Interesting how you never see it as a problem, until you're ready to do something about it.
