New guy here!

I would like to start off by saying hello, and thank you for any advise anyone may be able to give. I am a 55-year-old male. This all started when I was probably around 11 or 12 years of age. I found some of my older brothers porn magazines and was very much intrigued by them. I am going to guess that’s probably when I started using porn to masturbate. Though i used porn to masturbate, I don’t believe it was an addiction of mine until I was probably in my late 20s, and then when the Internet came out the addiction became much worse. Anything you could dream up or imagine you could find on the Internet with a couple strokes of the keyboard. Anyway, I’m at the point now where for the last five years I’ve been trying to reboot and do this 90 day nofap and have failed miserably. I have been dating a wonderful woman for the last six years and the beginning of the relationship is when I noticed I was starting to have difficulties with erections, both quality and duration. I had no idea what the hell was going on with my body! Then I found this site and started reading and realize what the problem was. I would like to say that today I am on day 48 and have only masturbated once but not to any porn. I guess you would call that a relapse. I have been open with this to my girlfriend and she supports me 100%. I am so looking forward to having normal healthy erections again and I some times get a little scared that it’s not going to happen for me but I am determined to push it out this time and make the whole 90 days. I am willing to quit porn forever at this point in time and hopefully I will be fixed once and for all! For a very long time I felt dead down there and that’s a very scary feeling! I am just now feeling like there is a little life going on down there. I’m just really hoping this works! I would like to know if during the reboot, is it bad to have the four play to sex, you know, a little messing around or does it set you back? Thank you for any advice anyone may be able to give…

 

thank you!!!
