How Many Pictures of Dick Do I Have to Look at Before I Stop Wanting to Look at Pictures of Dicks?: A Diary of Gay Porn Addiction
Perzine, Dave Cave
Everybody Moon Jump author Dave Cave defines addiction as “a self-destructive habit you would love to stop, but can’t.” For him, that’s porn. In this diary of a daily struggle against falling into the “portex” (porn vortex) for hours on end, Dave Cave gets pretty intimate about his sexual routines and how they intersect with his sense of self, social anxiety, and struggle against suicidal thoughts.
It’s clear from the start that this zine is a personal project, and exists as a monument to his success after a month of being clean. Given its (legitimate) self-concern, there is a lot of “I went to work today and” or “I woke up at this time and” moments, but well, sometimes diaries are boring like that.
The zine, handwritten on graph paper with a few diagrams drawn in for good measure, is a fitting read for anyone interested in addiction, more so than for somebody interested in porn itself. Dave Cave makes no judgement about porn in general, and seeks not to project his experience of sexuality onto anybody else. This is the zine’s strength: it doesn’t claim to be anything it’s not. Rather, it is one person’s story about one struggle among many. (Jonathan Valelly)
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail.
I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
Most of the time, we are enriched by the struggles of others, gaining strength in them and knowing that we are not alone in this battle. Reading materials and seeking help, like from online therapy programs such as GreatnessAhead, we will be able to gain a deeper understanding about porn addiction and could somehow make a difference in our/loved ones journey to recovery.
Everything is very open with a precise explanation of
the issues. It was truly informative. Your site is very useful.
Thanks for sharing!
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and
actual effort to generate a superb article_ but what can I say_ I put things
off a whole lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
This piece of writing presents clear idea designed for the
new users of blogging, that genuinely how to do running
a blog.
I know this web page provides quality dependent content and additional data, is
there any other website which gives such things in quality?
I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
It’s not my first time to visit this web page, i am browsing this site dailly and get fastidious
information from here all the time.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site.
You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good
asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some content for your
blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested.
Many thanks!
