Started rebooting since last week of January in 2016, relapsed 5 times and on each occassion PMOd once. Btw I have a gf and at times we make love with some effort and sometimes fail. Things are not getting better. I feel hopeless. Today I lost my erection while having sex, twice.
Hey Lawyer, sorry to hear you're struggling. I gotta ask though, what's your longest streak been? What kind of history do you have with PMO? I'm not an expert, but from my study of this issue I've heard that it can take different lengths of time to come back to normal depending on factors like when PMO was first started, the length and frequency of use, current age, etc.. I know it's tough, especially when a certain goal (healthy sex life, it seems for you) is your aspiration. For me, I had to come to want to be PMO-free just for the sake of being free from PMO to really gain ground against it. Not saying your goal is bad, just that you gotta be ready to dig in your heels and really fight. Anyways, I'd encourage you to consider getting a 3+ month streak and visiting a physician/sex therapist if things don't improve after that. All the best to you.
Don´t have faith in "rebooting" have faith in yourself. And also see your doctor, not everything is done by PMO maybe you have a legit bodily condition that can be corrected.
Use at all as fuel for your motivation. The only way to be normal again is to get clean from P and M. Build that negative association with porn. Remember you only fail if you quit. As long as you keep trying you're on track.
Von, you post the best stuff. Glad to be locking shields with my brothers. Let's stay clean this weekend.
