    Ive been on this site a while. Like everyone here I have my own personal struggles and ive failed quiet a few times.
    I was just wondering what physical effects people get from stopping porn/masturbation?
    For example is there a change in the appearance of the genitals?
    Energy levels
    Libido?

    Im on day 1 of a new reboot after relapsing really bad. Hoping someone can give me something to look forward to.
    Im doing this with my girlfriend. Im aiming for 1month no pmo and then no pm after that but will only orgasm when my girlfriend gives me one.

    Thanks everyone.

    I can guarantee you that you’ll get boosts of energy. The longer the streak the more you’ll have, it builds up and stacks as long as you keep going.

    For changes to the genitals, could happen I guess. I’ve heard people report on increased size down there, but I never noticed anything, so perhaps.

    Your libido will have ups and downs throughout the streak. There will be some periods where your libido will spike and be really high. However there’s also times where you’ll go into a flatline and have really low libido. It should balance somewhere down the line, just make sure to stay on your streak.

    Best of luck to you.

    I also wanted to know about the physical aspects of quitting PMO . Some of the sexual exhaustion symptoms (read up on Google) are muscle and joint aches , tremors, excessive sweating (this one has been hitting me hard), eye floaters , ED etc ... Has anyone felt these symptoms and got better over time by quitting PMO ?

  5. I'm 1 year hardmode and still have those symptoms. Reboot may take up to 2-3 years depending on the severity and the addiction's length.

    I did hope that those symptoms would go away sooner than that. Are there any natural supplements beneficial to people like us already experiencing these type of symptoms which could maybe boost recovery and reboot?

    Check out "dopamine upregulation by excercise" excercise has been demonstrated to increase the brain's ability to fix itself. I'd encourage you to excercise at least 3x per week (30 mins cardio, 30 mins weights). You will be amazed by the results. You have to actually do it to see results so don't delay.

    I have been training for many years and these physical symptoms are what keeps slowing me down.

    Hi,

    I have these problems - they definately become less severe with time (assuming you manage to abstain). Also, I would suggest looking at mineral supplements - muscle pain may be caused by magnesium deficiency (not an expert, but have had blood tests for this myself and my Mg levels were very low), but it is important to get a balance of minerals rather than just taking one or two specific minerals. Most food these days is grown in mineral depleted soil, so most people probably have mineral deficiencies anyway.

    Is the penis regrowth on a reboot very gradual?

    I flat lined for about a week, on the other side was (what felt like a different penis) attached to me. I had never seen anything like it.

    Increased libido confidence deeper voice better mental process more focus better concentration healthier view of women. I tried quitting porn while i jad a gf too. Just as a tip once you start having O again with your partner make sure the sex is different. If you have too much sex itll lead you back to porn. Looking back that was one trigger that i didnt realize. I replaced PM with sex and she tried to do that for me too. Which led to having sex practically everyday which is nice but it also has negative consequences for you for her and for your relationship

    Not really, morning erections some days, sometimes not. Real hit and miss stuff. I focused on it as little as possible. But once that first erection came, it was just......like I said, it was something else heh, could stand up and change positions without losing it

    Good to hear that bud currently I am trying to quit PM but having my girlfriend makes is harder.

    I also hope that soon I can stop using sidenafil and try have Intercourse naturally.

    I have read online that ejaculations make your body lose a lot of minerals especially zinc which is very important to us men.

    One thing ive noticed in my past attempts was that even after a few weeks no pmo my girlfriend started to lookVERY attractive to me and this really helped my bedroom performance.
    But then i relapsed :(

    We are only human bud keep fighting the good fight. It just goes to show how much difference it makes to quit PMO for the reboot. Don't beat beat yourself up about the relaps too much. Just start again many of us are in the same boat.

    For a while now, I have been anticipating the "super powers." What would it feel like to be porn free? How will my life change? How will my sex life change? I've realized now that there is only one way to find out. That is to abstain from porn and masturbation. I am on day one of this challenge.

    I recall a time in my life where I was confident and at peace. I remember it only in flashes now. I believe that this addiction has stolen my peace from me, and I am determined to get it back. One day at a time.

    I wonder if I'm in a flatline state because my dick is numb and shriveled up.

    I'm at 23 days and there has been no sudden onslaught of energy that everyone claims. Maybe everyone is different? Or maybe I wasn't addicted after all?
