Question - Succcessful Rebooters

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Jun 25, 2021.

  1. For those of you who have rebooted successfully. Have you experienced a numbness/flatline in your reboot but then see women in person and feel natural libido again?

    were any of you on antidepressants while succeeding?

    Advice? Tips?

    If you're male, the natural state is to be attracted to healthy women near your age. Why would anyone actually worry about losing attraction to women?
     
  3. Because I am on viibryd and wellbutrin and Im 32 and started this at 19. I dont feel the same anymore. Like my brain says they look nice but my erections arent following when i am out at bars etc.

    Well, are you trying to have sex with these girls you see at bars, or just not feeling a healthy attraction that could lead to asking them out? You don't need an erection for the latter
     
  5. I am somehow setting a mental standard that i should be experiencing more spontaneous erections when I see them.

    32 year olds don't generally get erections in public, you aren't a teenager any more.

    Not getting an erection would make sense especially if you are suffering from PIED, your brain/nervous system is in the process of repair. Although not successfully rebooted yet, I am essentially going through the same thing. I can see an attractive girl and have minimal to no response downstairs. It gets better with progress - keep going.

    32 year olds can and do get erections in public, at 33 and after 2 years of rebooting, I am gradually beginning to get them back. Your brain and nervous system are simply repairing and it will take time.
     
  11. Two years....how long were you addicted? I started at 19. I had some abilities to have sex after I started but then I just was not good at avoiding this. I'm meditating and getting back into a better diet and regular strength training. Do you take any dietary supplements or had your t-level checked? I did and was about 477.

    This definitely feels like a flatline, because I just feel numb as far as anything romantic goes.

    I hope that feeling does return as you said. If it takes time, I'm for it. It just feels impossible sometimes if that makes sense?
