I want to give you my best possible advice to recover from porn addiction and porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED).

A few years back I wrote a huge post that got great feedback on how I recovered from porn addiction and PIED. I have learned a lot in the meantime, and I want to highlight a few ideas that have helped me even more.

BTW, I’m no medical expert, just talking from my experience, knowledge and research. So if you think this doesn’t apply to you, just go to a doctor.

First of all, let’s start with the very basics:

If you are looking for a quick formula to impress a girl in your next Tinder message, this is not the article for you. This is a deeper look at what actually impresses women and makes them attracted to men. Learn this and you won’t have to google ‘how to impress a girl’ ever again.

Imagine we just met, and I awkwardly tell you I am fluent in 12 languages. Not in a way that naturally flows from the conversation, but in an off-topic way, out-of-the-blue, breaking the conversation flow –as if wanted to tell everyone.

Now, are you impressed? And if so… Do you want to be my friend? Do you irresistibly want to know me more because of that?

For years I struggled to find the perfect time to start moving forward in the relationships with girls I liked. One of those key moments was asking the girl’s number.

Whether it was her number or any other contact like her Facebook, etc. I always felt that fear crippling my move. Doubt made me not go for it. And most times, also let the window of opportunity close —hoping for a new one to open “in the future”.

Because in a possible future we can achieve anything, right? 😉

Luckily, now I know how and when to ask her number, and I’m going to show you the perfect move to close that communication gap between she and you.

You see her every day. She’s hot. She’s pretty. She’s gorgeous. Very nice to you. You don’t really know if she likes you, but you hope she did. You may think you want her just for sex. Or you’re in love with her. You even joked around with your friends about you kinda sorta liking her…

But no matter the case, deep inside you’re constantly thinking about her, every day.

She’s your crush.

I know it firsthand. I even hate to remember this. For instance, I remember one evening I spent like 4 hours on bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking the best way to talk to that girl who looked at me so intensely.

In this post I’m going to show you step-by-step what you need to do to attract her and level up with her.

But also, I’m going to tell you an uncomfortable truth that most guys don’t want to hear.

Ironically, knowing this truth will put you in the position to attract her.
