People first
We choose questions that can help a reader make a clearer decision or take a useful next step. We do not publish pages simply to repeat a search phrase or increase the number of URLs on the site.
How we publish
Editorial policy
Reborn publishes practical recovery guides in a sensitive area. That creates a responsibility to be useful, honest about uncertainty, and clear about who is speaking.
Published and last reviewed:
Our editorial standards
Sources where claims need them
For mental-health, sexual-health, and behaviour-change claims, we prefer official clinical guidance, systematic reviews, peer-reviewed research, and first-party platform documentation. Every guide lists its principal sources.
Plain language and careful limits
We separate research findings from practical suggestions, avoid guarantees, and say when evidence is limited or borrowed from an adjacent field. We do not treat every use of pornography, masturbation, or sexual desire as a disorder.
Useful updates
Each guide displays publication and modification dates. We update a guide when better evidence, product changes, or reader feedback materially changes what would be useful to say.
Who is responsible
The Reborn Editorial Team is the publishing identity used for the guides on this site. Reborn was founded by Respect Mashego, who built the app from lived experience of struggling with porn and trying to make a lasting change.
Lived experience can help us recognise the questions and moments that matter. It is not a medical qualification. We do not present personal experience as a diagnosis or use it to overrule clinical evidence. You can read more on our About page.
Research and editing tools
Software tools may help us organise research, compare sources, check structure, or improve a draft. Tools are not treated as experts and are not cited as evidence. Reborn remains responsible for the claims and recommendations it publishes.
We do not use automation to produce large collections of thin, repetitive pages. A guide should have a clear reader need, original framing, careful source notes, and enough practical detail to be useful on its own.
Medical and sexual-health boundaries
Reborn is a self-management and accountability product. Its guides are educational and do not diagnose compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, provide individual treatment, or replace professional mental-health or sexual-health care.
Pornography use is not automatically a disorder. Where relevant, we distinguish loss of control and significant impairment from distress that may also be shaped by personal, cultural, or religious values. Readers experiencing severe distress, escalating behaviour, risk, or thoughts of self-harm should seek qualified professional or emergency support appropriate to their location.
Product and commercial disclosure
The guides are published by the same team that builds Reborn, and articles may link to the Reborn App Store page. Reborn is free to download, but a subscription is required to use the app. Our articles should never hide that relationship or present the app as the only valid source of support.
Reborn does not currently accept paid article placement. If that changes, sponsored material will be labelled clearly and kept separate from editorial conclusions.
Corrections, questions, and privacy
If you find an error, a broken source, or wording that could cause harm, email support@getreborn.app. We will review the concern and update the modification date when a correction materially changes the guide.
Private journals, account data, and community posts are not turned into public articles. We will not publish user stories, quotes, or aggregated product insights without an appropriate consent and privacy process.
