    The Fear of Exposure Kept Bringing Me Back

    I thought I would share this with people who might be dealing with the same thing. Porn had always been a thing in my life but it was more casual. If I had to rub one out, I would put porn on to help finish the deed. NoFap talks about things like escalation. Which, in my case, didn't go too...

    You cannot use your partner as your porn

    Your partner, whether s/he exists yet or not, cannot take up the slack provided by your lack of PMO. Imagine trying to have sex with your partner as frequently and for the length of time you consume porn. It's not possible. For some, this is the attraction, but you have to dial-down your sex...
