8. I’ve been to psychologists and psychiatrists for the last 8 years. I’ve been
diagnosed with depression, severe social anxiety, severe memory impairment,
and a few others. I’ve tried effexor, ritalin, zanax, paxil, dropped out of two
different colleges, been fired twice, used pot to calm my social anxiety. I’ve
been approached by a few women, I guess due to my looks and status, but they
quickly flew away due to my incredible weirdness. I’ve been a hardcore porn
addict since age 14. For the last two years I’ve been experimenting and finally
realized that porn was an issue. I stopped it completely two months ago. It has
been very difficult but so far incredibly worth it. I’ve since quit my remaining
medication.
My anxiety is nonexistent. My memory and focus are sharper than they’ve ever
been. I feel like a huge ‘chick magnet,’ and my ED is gone too. I seriously think I
had a rebirth, a second chance at life.

9. I feel like the next Sir Isaac Newton or Leonardo da
Vinci. Since I quite a month ago I’ve literally started a
business, taken up piano, been studying French
everyday, been programming, drawing… and have more
awesome ideas than I know what to do with. My
confidence is sky high. I already feel like I can talk to
any girl. I’m the same guy who took two and a half
extra years to graduate from college because of
procrastination and depression.

10. A few words on how life is after almost a month without
orgasm. I am amazed! I feel more confident than ever
especially at work, with its many demands and stresses. I
have been able to keep lucid and cool, despite a heavy
workload and pressure recently. I manage to socialize
effortlessly, while normally doing so is effortful for me. In
general, I feel as if the world at large is nicer to me; people
tend to respond and interact positively with me.

is more than enough.”

15. Withdrawal Symptoms
I have given up orgasms for about six weeks, and the
withdrawal, as it turns out, was harder than cocaine,
opiates, booze, or nicotine. I spent a solid week
weeping every night after returning from the university
where I teach. I couldn’t sleep, and I had almost zero
appetite. The thought of dating made me want to curl
up into a ball and quit. But here I am. I feel free.
[Six months later] I have fallen in love just this month.
We are taking things slower than I’ve ever done before
in my life, which is totally rewarding on all levels of my
being!

17. My Message to Young People
Choose Wisely
Pornography/Sex:
“Have sex with as many people as you can.”
“Never get married.”
“Never have kids.”
etc. etc.
Family/Love:
“Our data suggests that married
people are happier than they would
have been if they didn’t get married.
Marriage protects against age-
related declines in happiness.”
- Natasha Burton, Huffington Post
