Well hello there!

Hello everybody, new fapstronaut here.

I'm a 28 years old french guy and I've recently decided to ban porn and masturbation from my life. The main reason is I've had this PIED for about 4 or 5 months now and I don't want it to keep going and/or get worse.

I blamed it on the condom and the girl when it happened for the first time, but the second and third times were no accident. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but I eventually came accross this forum and many other articles describing the symptoms that I had.

Today I'm happy that I know what I've got to do. To reboot my brain, that is.

I know this is going to be hard as I've been trying for about 2 months now and couldn't last for more than a full week.

But I've learned a lot about myself and my addiction throughout these failures, and I can clearly say that I just love the way I feel when I know I haven't masturbated for X days. I feel full of energy, happier, stronger, more confident and girls love it... but at the same time, it hurts a lot to know that I won't be able to get it up the moment we get in bed.

This is why I want to change that, I want to take my time, my pleasure and my life back.

 

Thanks for the kind words, guys !

And yes, I am now determined to last for more than a week, maybe even two. I'm tired of giving up everytime my brain asks for its dopamine fix.

I've managed to quit smoking 4 years ago (smoked about 10 cigarettes a day for about 8 years... E-cigs didn't exist back then, had to go hard mode), there's no reason I cannot stop masturbating !
