    I slipped up here and there after going strong for a while but I'm back on the wagon.

    Honestly even though I failed I'm still watching p*rn way less than I was, and I was able to maintain a boner the other day when I hooked up with one of my customers.

    Yeah. It's honestly way harder than I thought it would be. I wouldn't even watch p*rn all that much, but it still effects my mental psyche so for that reason alone I have to quit.

    So to have an addiction, wouldn't you have to yearn to watch p*rn every second of the day? @jacoby were you watching p*rn every second of the day or at any chance you got?

    I am sure he appreciated you maintaining a boner.

    You know what's funny about this thread is it hits home for me. I've had on and off issues with p*rn too even in my relationship. I see a therapist and work it out there but it's not easy man. I still watch p*rn some but not as much as I used to. I realize I've got an attractive and loving partner. Nothings ever been wrong with her. It's all upstairs for me. Now that being said, I've gone off a ton of antidepressants in the last month and I've really gotten my sex drive back. It's pretty nice. Kudos on whacking it less my friend. I think you'll find it helps a lot more than you thought.

    Yep, that's how it works.

    Not a doctor, but: viagra is fun as hell.

    I relapsed a few times since I made this thread. I went through a depressive stage where I gave up completely and was watching p*rn every night.

    I've been clean for about 3 weeks and haven't had a single erection and my libido is zero. I am completely unable to have sex. I read about the "flatline" that people experience shortly after no-fap, and it appears I'm going through this now. I hope I can get back to normal soon. I cannot underestimate just how damaging p*rn has been for me throughout the years.
