My Story by freeNChrist
Early Beginnings
The sexuality in my family is a little vague but I do know that there is some dysfunction at least two generations deep. My Grandmother on my fathers side had slept with various men while married and otherwise. She left my biological grandfather for my adopted grandfather and she eventually left him for other men. I know that my Father was sexually active before meeting my mother. I know that they did not intend to have me as quickly as they did, I was not purposed by my earthly father. My Father supposedly was having multiple affairs on my mother. I suspect my mother ran to the arms of a man before the divorce was final. After the divorce and while he was single, my father had multiple girlfriends and sexual partners. Two years later he was married only to be divorced fifteen years later. I believe and understand that extra marital affairs were involved in this break up. Dad has been bouncing from one woman to another ever since. He has had multiple sex partners and has threatened marriage a couple of times. I believe dad is first a love addict and next a sex addict, while mixing in drinking and drug use. Read more

Conditioning
“WOW that felt good!” This is a common cognition when a man has an orgasm, otherwise known as an ejaculation. What most people don’t know is why an orgasm feels so good. In fact, the reason it feels so incredible is the same reason why some men form addictive patterns at the neurological level in their brains through a process known as “conditioning.” Read more
My Story by RPVPilot
My first exposure to pornography that I recall was when I was left home to baby-sit my younger brothers. I began snooping around in my parents belongings and came across some hand written sexual stories they had hidden in their closet. That was the beginning. After that, every time I was left to care for my brothers I would snoop around to see if I could find more things-and I did. It seems my dad was always bringing home some book or magazine he had acquired at work.. No matter where he hid them, I found them. Read more
