Hi all, I am Mared. I have been struggling with a porn addiction for years without realising it and made some attempts to fight it starting last year. I had decent results for a while but I eventually fumbled once the initial enthusiasm had gone. I was also dealing with PTSD and other mental...

I discovered porn when I was 13 and have been using it ever since. My religion strongly denies its use and I see why. It has affected my dad for as long as I’ve been alive, and my brother has been addicted to it for about seven years. Earlier this year, I got a 90-day streak going. My mom was...

I think the pieces of success are within me-within us- to be successful at what we choose. Though the level of success may vary, I believe that we are enough. In middle school, I was bullied terribly. I never felt any true affection from the opposite sex and that hurt me. I found solace in...

I'm new to nofap and have decided to fully commit myself to it. I'm keeping away from all pornography and masturbation. Whenever I keep away from it, I notice that my productivity and overall mood are much better. Porn feels so dehumanizing and detached from reality. One of my struggles is...

It's an exhausting time. I think it's mostly due to self concept and the associations I've attributed to how much I DON'T want to be the porn addicted, sex-stimulation addicted fiend that I am. Maybe it's the physical impact. Maybe it's both. Either way, I'm fucking exhausted. I've been on...
