So I used to fap all the time for years, multiple times a day (1-3ish??) for a while but in the last year I’ve cut it out almost completely, probably fapped 8 or less times since stopping. But over the course of those years fapping, It’s clear my dopamine levels are low because I stopped having the urges to have sex, being all super horny as I was BEFORE masturbation all the symptoms signs off which cause my inability to retain and erection hard enough for sex. Kinda of like i desensitized my piece?? . I barely masturbate and now am focused against to not do it at allllll. I want to now get my mind right and increase those dopamine levels to crave and get to how I was before. Has anyone dealt with this? And how did you get through it? Tips?
I have spoken to an endocrine doctor about it after he ran a set of hormonal blood tests on me since I went to him with erectile dysfunction problems primarily caused by chat room addiction. He prescribed Taurine supplements as well as something called Balance D which helps building up dopamine. They are both easily available on Amazon.
Man there's so much things u can that u will be shocked and if u are coming out of it without any neurological problems then that's good. First follow a regular routine and then get checked for vitamin deficiencies and don't push urself now as it may be detrimental just chill and let happen whats happening if u can join gym or any classes that will help u a lot. Rest be with people be outside more get a pet a dog or cat and chill and u can substitute with game and movies and food this many here won't agree but I guess initially these things give a hang of dopamine good enough that u won't switch to porn and meditate daily that's it first few months just focus on this and see if they work. Wish u luck.
What I meant is sex chatrooms where you speak about sexual experiences, you exchange pictures, cams sometimes and also roleplays. To me and many people that I have read about, these often brings stronger sensations and addiction compared to porn because instead of watching people having sex, you interact with a real person on the other end and you are a "participant" in the experience. All of those leading to something similar to Porn Induced ED, but actually Chatroom Induced ED.
