    Hello everyone,

    I'm having some trouble finding real success stories from guys rebooting while in a relationship, so I'm here asking for help.

    My boyfriend suffers from very low libido and, to a certain degree, PIED. He has agreed to stop PM but 5 months have passed and the improvement is still small.

    On one hand, I believe 5 months might not be enough time to see great results but, on the other hand, I'm afraid not going Hard Mode will not have the desired effects, and this scares me a lot.

    Going to the Success Stories secession we can find a lot of guys posting their success while doing no PMO but not so much for no PM. Most of the 'No PM success stories' are actually no PMO with only a few sexual encounters.

    So my question is, have you managed to cure low libido and/or PIED while doing no PM but still having sex? Can you please share your story (a link will suffice)?

    I'm in need of inspiration.

    Thank you so much!
    Blm

    There are several different factors involved with this addiction. I dont think you “ cute” low libido, not actual low libido. If they stop masturbating and looking at porn their libido will reset to a normal for them ( this could go lower or higher). The addicts like my husband who have been addicted longer seem to reboot more quickly because they did not have high speed internet, they had a playboy magazine and that was sporadic at best. They then had sex irl to help with the template so to speak. Younger guys may take longer because as their brain developed they had access to internet porn 24/7. It took my husband 4 months and pied and de were gone. However, even after a year clean he still struggles with a chaser if we have sex. Fortunately, we now understand this and have tools to help.

    Yeah, I'm afraid we will have to go full No PMO to see results, which was something I really wanted to avoid...

    I'm 6 months into reboot and have a gf. We have sex when I have a libido but it usually tanks again for a week or so after ejaculation. My refractory period is 24 hours.

    BUT I'm improving albiet slowly. So hang in there. What an understanding gf you are. Congratulations.

    Boyfriend actually but thanks :) It's easier for me to comprehend it since I'm actually the one trying to convince him of it! A few years back one of my closest friends told me about the advantages of not using porn and I decided to quit it, so I already experienced part of it.

    Now a few months after meeting my boyfriend he started displaying the symptoms of porn addiction. Talked to him about it and he told me he has been using porn more or less daily for something like 15 years, without any idea of how prejudicial it was. He was able to quit quite easily (he wasn't really an addict in that sense but still got all the exposure) and we are now waiting for the rewards.

    It has been 5 months with little improvement and it has been quit hard on my side. That's why I'm asking for successful no PM cases, so I can believe this will work out in the end as well :)

    Thanks

    Are you 100% certain he isn’t using porn or p-subs or fantasizing ? No masturbating? Any of those can slow down or halt progress.

    Yeah, pretty sure he's not even masturbating...
     

  13. Hello. My friend and sorry to hear about your boyfriends problem. I am riding the same boat right now as if I were ever to get in a relationship in reality. When I'm masturbating I actually *** to quick or long gate it... It really strikes me if I am ever with a woman in the future if I will ejaculate right away and displease her. My experience is that it happened one night a long time ago when I was with this woman I was dating. The moment she lowered herself on top of me I blew it.... I was so embarrassed that I didn't continue anything and that I made her drive me home. Little bit of a back story for me so I apologize.


    What has gradually helped me in real life. Exercising and doing yoga. I'm not sure how his diet is so I can't say that its that as well, some times diet plays a huge part in eating the right foods and nutrients. I started weight lifting for a while and it honestly helps build sexual confidence as well with self esteem. I've lasted longer Ming and I have felt my libido increase because I was actually eating more calories then I have been for my muscles. Stretching/yoga also helps as he might be cramping some muscles from always masturbating or the way he sits while doing it.

    I watched a video on youtube about men over 50 a while back who were suffering from low libido or something like that. I remember they were doing some key exercises to gain more strength and support. They were recovering and I think they started off from 25-50 a day...
