    Hey guys . First of all thanks to everybody reading this . I could use some help.


    So , long story short im a long time addict . Exposed to P since i was 6, and an extreme addict since . Just like a lot of you here P morphed my view on life and relationships. In my latest years i struggled HOCD, bi cravings , and eventually a severe PIED.

    2 years ago i found Nofap and started my first official reboot. Since then i had a few relapses and got involved with some girls.

    I ve had intercourse a few times these 2 years but always with some external help of different pills and substances. I suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to performing and i need a boost especially the first times.

    After i pass that i find it easier and anxiety kinda wears off, and i find it easier to obtain an erection when cuddling with a girl.

    One of the biggest issues is that i also suffer from a lack of libido. A severe lack of libido.

    I ve read around here that is something pretty common and that it will take some time . Im curious how you guys battle that .

    At this moment im single so the possibility of a rewiring and sharing some intimate moments ( not sex) with a female is out of the question.

    I did some blood tests a few months ago and my T levels were ok, but i still dont feel the need for sex.Even if i like somebody and i mentally would like to engage in something , im missing that urge.

    Recently i was touching my parts to see what i feel down there as i dont have no reactions beside some morning wood.

    I discovered that i do feel something during stimulation, but i cant get hard. Like i could reach O but only being like 30% erect .

    Anybody went thru something similar ? Any suggestions ?


    Thanks in advance .

    You will have to solve the anxiety yourself. Only you can know why you get anxious, get to the root of the problem (could be pedastalizing women, afraid they will judge you, insecure in general) and solve that

    No worries bro, glad I could help.

    I used to have this problem and there is no simple solution. Like I said in my previous post, you will have to get to the solution yourself. I cannot write out a set of bullet points for you to follow that will solve your insecurity and pedastalizing over night, it is likely something that will take months or even years to over come. Likely there is something deeply wrong with your worldview which causes you to seek validation from women. Although in saying that I would highly reccomend lifting, reading meditations by marcus aurelius and meditating.

    Hi,

    A therapy may help you with the anxiety that leads to PIED. If you have access to specialists freely in your country, make the most of it.

    Good luck

    I also had a major issue of putting women on a pedestal my entire life. I almost even got to the point where I based my worth on the “caliber” of woman I was with at any given time and only cared about how well I could please her sexually, that led to performance anxiety, which fed into my porn addiction because it was easier than overcoming my issues. This of course led to my current struggle of PIED, which like you said, you mentally want to engage with a woman but your body just won’t let you, even while doing foreplay it just doesn’t happen. So yes, to answer your first question I am definitely going through practically the same situation and you are not alone.

    One thing that really helped me break the pedestal mentality though was reading The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi (spelling?) it really put things in perspective for me in the realm of women and relationships in general. A lot of women will say the book is sexist or misogynistic but it really isn’t at it’s core. It even talks about eventually getting married and monogamy in committed relationships.

    I would recommend all men read it at least once. At least skim through it.

    Edit: Also, just remind yourself it’s okay to be a LITTLE bit selfish sexually. She has her needs and you have yours as long as it doesn’t harm her or you. It’s ok to objectify a woman as a piece of meat in the heat of consensual passion, in fact, though a lot won’t admit it, they do like it, as well as that raw animalistic sexual instinct that comes from “removing the person” from the woman. Again, as long as the sex is consensual and there is no harm being done.
