    Hi. I am a 55 year old Male, I have been addicted to porn for 20 + years now. it started with the internet being able to go to free sites and be able to see what ever you wanted, Iwas married at that time and things were not working out. I thought the problem was my wife's , but now looking back I believe it was the porn that was interfering with the relationship, which did lead to divorce.
    Being single for awhile I believe lead to a bigger dependency on porn and not worrying about what other people thought cause it was in the privacy of my own home.
    Met a wonderful lady and she helped me with the addiction , we ended up getting married and for awhile it was good, but that demon came back almost cost me the marriage but she stuck by me and helped me again.
    Then I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer and had it removed, no more sex , no more erections I was told. tried for a few years nothing worked, Then this great woman whom stuck by me twice passed away. and the porn started again, erections started to come back and I have started to date again , But that porn has made it very tough to be wife a actual women, when I watch porn I can get a semi erection and orgasm, but when I am trying to be with a actual women there is nothing.
    I watched a show on CNN with Lisa Ling and heard about this site . So this is day 2 of the rest of my healthy sex life.
