Sexuality is everywhere from TV commercials to easy access to pornography from the internet. This wasn't the case a couple of centuries ago. During the British Victorian Era, people considered porn as seeing a picture of woman's ankle (1). Now you get more than just the ankle. Society (excluding certain countries/states that ban porn) has the freedom to look up not just any pornography but the ones that fulfill their fantasies. But like anything in excess, this sexuality freedom can come with a price.
*A Hard For Porn But Hard To Quit
There's a couple of videos surfacing on YouTube that show guys ranting out how difficult it is to quit pornography. One guy had such a difficult time quitting that it caused him to end a relationship with his girlfriend (2).
**Another You-Tuber, Black White Guy In America, who's on the journey of going "nofap" (no masturbation) mentions a study that was conducted that analyzed the affects of porn on a male's brain. The results stated that the brain's grey matter decreased in size. This matter is responsible for a variety of brain functions such as making rational decisions (3). So while decreasing your ability of making rational decisions, one can argue that the decrease of grey matter can affect someone's ability on quitting porn.

NoFap Academy
Now there is hope. If you are reading this, you are most likely someone whose struggled in quitting PMO (Porn, masturbation, and orgasm). Others have been successful in quitting and have created not just a YouTube channel but also a community/movement along with it. So with that in mind, I would like to introduce to you Mark Queppet and Alexander Rhodes: Founders of NoFap Academy.
Mark Queppet
A life coach and also a founder of another YouTube Channel, Sacred Sexuality Project, dedicated to helping guys quit PMO. Mark shares his stories of how PMO had taken a toll on his life on a couple of videos from his Sacred Sexuality Project. Then one day he decided to take a stand a make the change.
***Mark provides insights of how he views life with his philosophies and habits. He practices what he preaches and suggests them for his viewers.
Alexander Rhodes
Founder of the Nofap Academy, Alexander has been advocating the "nofap" lifestyle during his weekends while studying for his B.S. in biology. He currently works as a web developer.
****Alexander points out specific mindsets that can disrupt one's journey to going "nofap". He also provides a list of strategies for certain types of situations that will lead to a continuous success of quitting PMO.
Moving Away From The "Swamp"
Mark mentions in one of the NoFap Academy videos that porn addiction is like a swamp. Those who want to quit the addiction have to go down a river that will lead you farther away from the swamp. Sometimes, life tends to put pressure on those who struggle with this addiction Before they even know it, they are back to where they started: the swamp.
*****Mark and Alexander provide great tips on how to move farther from the swamp and lead you to an ocean filled with opportunities that can bring you to a better state in life like finally reaching one's goals. But like the ocean, life will rock us back and forth. Some days will be good and some will be bad. In the end, it's a whole lot better than being in the swamp. If you want to know how to reach your "ocean" and while leaving "the swamp" then check out the NoFap Academy channel.
Traffic And Activity
Currently, the channel has an average of 2000-11,000 views per video. Their highest viewed video has about 18,938 views. The number of subscribers currently are 2989. So far their traffic is low.
On top of that, their activity has been stagnant for the past couple of months. Mark commented in his channel, Sacred Sexuality Project, stating that he and Alexander are creating an e-course that will be a guideline to quitting PMO and will be source under the NoFap Academy.
The current videos are still valuable for anyone that will benefit from them. Check them out and spread the word to those who might need the help provided by their channel so then you and those you know struggling with this addiction can...
