    What if your girlfriend was abusive?

    I recently watched this documentary about a man who was violently abused by his girlfriend. It's a reminder that sometimes it's better to be single and alone than be in a relationship with someone who makes your life miserable. The documentary is worth watching because it shows the signs that an...

    Environmental based addiction

This has been an observation I've made countless times and its gotten to a point where I know for sure once I get away from them I will not seek out porn ever again, at least not compulsively. I know...

    If I am under extreme stress and my whole world is falling apart in an instant one day like it did on October 26 how do I not automatically seriously self harm under impulse and also relapse at the same time?

    ROUGH PORN

    Porn isn't sex anymore, it's violence. 'Rough' sex years ago was a little tug of the hair, a cheeky light slap and some mutual wrestling. Now 'rough' sex is rape. I'm disgusted that this is now the new direction and vision for pornographic filmmakers. I'm not going to judge you if you do...
