Question 1

Is Regrown a medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. Regrown is a self-directed habit-change tool built around content-blocking, accountability, and CBT-informed check-ins. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. If compulsive sexual behaviour is significantly affecting your life, we recommend speaking with a licensed clinician alongside anything an app can offer.

Question 2

Does masturbation cause erectile dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Clinical research does not support masturbation itself as a cause of erectile dysfunction or lasting physical harm. What is recognized is Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD), a real diagnosis added to the WHO's ICD-11 in 2019, which is about loss of control and impact on daily functioning, not physical damage.

Question 3

How does the accountability lock actually work?

Accepted Answer

If you add a trusted accountability partner, disabling content protection requires a code only they hold. Without a partner, disabling instead requires a mandatory 48-72 hour cooldown period, so a moment of temptation can't undo your protection instantly.

Question 4

Will anyone be able to tell I'm using this app?

Accepted Answer

Regrown is designed to be discreet - a neutral name, a neutral icon, and an app-level lock so it doesn't announce its purpose on your home screen.

Question 5

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Content blocking happens locally on your device - your browsing activity is not sent anywhere. Logged urges and journal notes are only shared with your accountability partner if you explicitly choose to enable that.

Question 6

What will it cost?

Accepted Answer

Regrown will have a free tier with basic blocking and streak tracking, and a paid tier (around $9.99/month or an annual plan) that unlocks AI-reasoned daily check-ins, the accountability-partner feature, and the full CBT-informed program.

Question 7

Will it be available on iPhone and Android?

Accepted Answer

Android is launching first. iOS requires a special entitlement from Apple for the content-blocking API, which can take several weeks to be approved, so iOS will follow as a fast-follow release.
