    I agree, it really depends on the amount and time and how much your brain was wired to real women when younger.

    and sometimes just luck. I was exposed to porn around 12, lost virginity at 18, starting quitting at 36. Never had PIED. Did have DE but think it was more about how I used to M than what I watched when I used to M. It fixed itself before I quit porn.

    I agree there! For porn addicts losing virginity younger helped with your wiring, lol. I also think de is more from masturbation technique than porn. No way to prove/test it.

  5. physically in terms of your body, hair, teeth, nails, eyesight, any pain that went away, weight, your physical make up in general before & after...
     
  6. No, that was never an issue. I didn't realize how common those symptoms were until joining this site and reading about the experiences of others.

  7. No significant changes in any of those areas, afaik. The primary physical benefit I am aware of is a sharp decrease in stress, which is helpful in all kinds of ways. I never knew peace before. Now it is my constant companion. That is worth any price to attain, I think.

    I wish you the best in your recovery journey. If I can ever be of service to you, please feel welcome to reach out to me any time.

    Google Dan Savage Death Grip (warning for language, but not usually visual images)

    He's been on the train about "how" being important for a long time

    First of all congrats! And thank you for your original post.

    How have you managed with this one? If you've succeeded please elaborate because I personally struggle a lot with browsing - especially Youtube.

    hey bro.. where do we check our addiction level?
     
  11. A few helpful tips:
    - I use accountability software on all my devices and have a large team of APs.
    - I do not go online without a specific purpose in mind -- ever. That is a hard and fast rule.
    - I browse with images turned off by default.
    - If anything starts to become a source of temptation, I eliminate it. For example, I took a month off YT at one point, when it began to give me trouble.

    Nothing is worth sacrificing my freedom. I cherish the peace I have within now above everything else. If anything is disrupting that peace, it must go.

    I wish you the best on your journey toward freedom. If I can ever be of service to you, feel welcome to reach out any time!

    That's great man, you seem very clear on your priorities! Respect!!

    Is your team of APs individuals you've met along the way or a group?

    Also by accountability software, something like Truple yes?

    Very kind of you and I wish the same for you!
     
  13. I use Accountable2You. After sampling many options, it emerged as best-in-class.

    My APs are mostly folks I have met along the way. Many have assembled to become a group for mutual support. https://discord.gg/mSQJAzubMF
