Having never actively tried to reboot previously, i feel fairly cynical about how succesful it can and will be. Ive no doubt that quitting porn has endless benefits. But in terms of enhanced libido and diminished ed i dont feel like i will see benefits there. I guess i am looking for some reassurances from people who went in with the same mindset as me. Im fairly sure although not certain my issue is a combination of pied and anxiety. However not sure I will resolve this through no PMO alone. Naturally I hope I do. My libido feels low as it is I recognise attractive girls but am not aroused by them. Certainly not to the extent i once was. So with that in mind if this isnt a flatline im dreading getting to that stage. As per another post ive probably uses porn as long as i remember. Never anything out of the ordinary in content just the amount consumed. The pied hit me out of the blue rather than a gradual thing and has been stuck in my head for a year. I just hope i can revert to normal in all senses but feel pessimistic about it. Day 3 and it seems easy enough thus far but accept long days ahead no doubt.
Are you having sex? Fap/pmo is often described as a "drug" here, but imo that's only for people trying to use it as a replacement for actual sex. If they're not, then it's really more an "orthopedic" kind of device -- in other words, if you have no disabilities towards sex, there's no reason to really fap/pmo. Same way how healthy people should be getting up and walking instead of constraining themselves to a wheelchair or other device.
Update. Managed to avoid P completely for 28 days but just had an urge. And watched some but didnt go further. But not gone without M and O for the 28 days. However not to P at all. Found avoiding P fairly easy. The other two not so.
