Libido low

Continue having sex on regular

 

Your dopamine fueled brain is trying to find its balance and new normal. You’ve saturated it in dopamine for I don’t know how long, so it’s going to go down lower than it needs to in order to compensate for that. It will take some time for it and you to find its actual state it should be in. If you are horny, that is probably more a manifestation of the addiction than it is true intimate feelings. You are more than just a need to O.
The question is why do you believe this is problem, and why do you think it needs to be fixed? Once you ask yourself those questions and come up with answers, ask why again. Rinse and repeat until you can’t answer why anymore, or you have an epiphany. The real answer to your problem is in those answers if you can answer them honestly.

 

Don’t just do something,
Stand there.

Patience?

In this time of adjustment,
I’ve been advised to
‘immediately do nothing’.

@NF4L says it well.

 

uh... so what's the problem here??!? you have internal ideal that your libido should want more sex than that? what if that's just the real you finally peaking out?

nothing is broken here dude - other than maybe your view of what you should be.

this is a brilliant application of "the 5 whys" - do exactly this until you get to the root. it's magic.

 

gosh I love your posts, @Trappist !!

 

Just keep having sex. Ur body will begin to crave it.

Ironically u can actually do the opposite. U can not have sex for 2 weeks and feel it come rushing back.

But in either case it will be fine too.

 

I’m new to NoFap, just started reboot. I have a girlfriend and we have only tried to have sex once (in which I couldn’t get an erection)
If I no longer have erection problems but still rebooting, sex counts as failing?

 

With your gf no, unless you set that goal. Avoiding PM is always a win if those are your goals.

Patience with the ED thing.
That takes time, I’ve found.
