This Is Life with Lisa Ling, on CNN, is always an interesting show. If you haven't seen an episode, she takes on one topic and covers it in depth over the hour. Last night's show was on Porn Addiction, and her main interview was with Alexander Rhodes, founder of NoFap.com. Now, despite what you may have heard - or read - it is not an anti-masturbation site.
Reddit NoFap (among others) is the anti-masturbation movement and hijacked the term, which is why/how NoFapNovember - or NoNutNovember as it is sometimes called - was created.
The real website is to help men overcome an addiction to porn. How do you know if you're addicted? As with any other addiction: It takes over your life. Completely. Here are some warning signs of Porn Addiction.
Do you find you:- Cannot get a full erection without seeing sexually explicit photos or videos
- Cannot perform sexually with a partner
- Cannot remain in the moment during partner sex
- Cannot masturbate without looking at sexually explicit photos or video
- Cannot engage in either partner sex or masturbation without at least fantasizing about photos or videos you've seen
There is nothing wrong with masturbating. It is normal. It is healthy.
There is nothing wrong with masturbating while viewing sexually explicit media
as long as you don't allow it to take over your life.

Very informative. You are always a wealth of information! I hope you are well.
Having been born and came out before the Internet...
I remember when I first found online porn - single and with a 2400 baud dial-up modem to get to the bulletin boards. It was a race to get home from work and get online to see what was new and to just go to town on my cock. Addiction in 1990's - yes.
Then I began to mature. Today, I love looking at porn, but now it more of lamenting that I never took photography. As I posted to Rick's blog - someone, somewhere has a far better career than I.
very interesting
I know I enjoy porn, and watch and jack off too it frequently, but wouldn't say I'm addicted. I also jack off everyday to just looking in the mirror or create a fantasy of somebody I know. I do probably jack off to much though some days.
Oh crap I’m addicted to porn. But don’t want to stop.
I think that there is no website against an addiction to your friendship and your blog. But that is not a problem.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
And it may be covering up an underlying physical problem. Just when you think our politics can’t get any worse....
Hugs and bisous.
@ Jean - Perfect point! My wondering thought, too.
Advantage to those of us who circle jerked as boys. I couldn't even find porn growing up, but I had friends.
