    Thanks. The 5% was just an estimate. I don't know how many guys are capable of controlling their porn use. It's probably under 5%

    Confused with the numbering but
    198: no more sticky underwear every morning
    199: you have battled the most addicting, accepted, life-ruining addiction all on your own
    200: you see life differently

    When I read the title of this thread I knew what was my job. Formatting and typesetting. Here is the list with with duplicates removed, similar cases preserved, troll posts removed (there was 1, from the same guy who was skipping the counter by ten at 138), sorted alphabetically and with the right numeration, spelling correction and some mistakes. Weird and strange posts are preserved.
    This thread was a great idea, let's make it to 1000!
