Hi all, Just came across this site after seeing the TED talk 'the great porn experiment'. So excited that there is such an active community that exists already supporting and encouraging each other to quit porn! I have been struggling to quit for the last year and a half. I have gone through some long periods of watching no porn, 6 months was the longest I think, but then I rationalise myself into watching it again. I am part of a peer-counselling group where I live so I have some support already, but there is something about everyone in this community having such clear targets and being so honest about their situations that is really inspiring. I'm going to start with a 30 day challenge and see where it goes. Does anyone know if there are any pages explaining all the acronyms, I'm a little overwhelmed! Also interested if there are any wider discussions on the website about the problem of porn in society more generally, and taking action to try and change that! Look forward to hearing from people, Ed

I'm glad you have real life people you can talk about this to. For most people, this forum is there only support group.
