I FINALLY had recovered after a gruelling 4 months of no PMO hard mode. So overjoyed and amazed that I felt like my old self but 3 short relapses in a week sent me back to flatline. On hardmode again... Will it really take another 4 months to heal again? Doesn't seem to make sense that it would take that long again as my old pathways weren't activated for that long.
Hope you're right. Always when I'm in the flattest of flatlines I meet girls keen to date. So typical!
I don't thinks so , because when you recover is when you feel like somebody didn't do pmo for entire life .... you have to forget that's recovering
There's so many variables, but my guess would be no, it shouldn't take 4 months to get to that good place again. Weeks and months do go quickly though... And a more helpful question to ask yourself may be "how could I avoid these relapses next time?" From 4 months without, to 3 episodes in a week, there would be some things to focus on there I would guess.
Do you know why it was grueling during the original 4 month streak? Do you think you are focusing more on the day counter than your life/goals/hobbies? I've done that before and its a trap. After all, having those hobbies/goals/activitiea in your life are all things girls want to see you doing AND it helps you. Binging is also horrible, but nothing I havn't done myself. Ask yourself these things if you dont want to publically and it might help, man. Best of luck, and glad you got back on the horse.
I was kinda in the middle – doing things but not quite enough. "Stop waiting for things to be perfect before you live your life" – man, I'm guilty of that.
Cool man, just giving my 2 cents. Best of luck fron you. You are further along than I in certain ways! There's no competition though. I guess I am just glad I dont pmo every day like I once did. I'm averaging about a week or so now. Each day is a new day, well... each moment is actually - and instead of failing a couple times, I try to bounce back sooner and failing less times each failure. You might be in a haze, but you'll bounce back if you want to. Good luck.
Great. You have done 120 days. You are a motivation. After this no PMO, do you experience the rush of blood to the penis as your emotions desire ? Thanks
Haha, what a sentence. YES I did. I couldn't believe it. For the first time in years, I had that. It was amazing. But I can't stress how quickly the harsh flatline returned when I thought I could get away with 3 PMOs. A girl I fancied linked arms with me as we walked home and yes... a rush of blood. A few weeks before that, you could have had a room full of models dancing in front of me naked and I would probably be looking at my phone instead as the women did nothing for me.
Thanks . I m 46 yrs. I am on day 24, but couldn't feel any rush down there. It's like a dead. Hope it will come soon to life.
Man, I lived like that for YEARS thinking that I'd destroyed myself using a hair loss medication. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Ted Talk from Gary Wilson. It made me realise it was the porn; not the (legal and popular) hairloss drug. What you're saying is completely normal; it's just the flatline and it differs wildly. Some have it for a few days others for ages. Trust me, mine felt like a flesh strap-on. I was kissing girls I was very attracted to and didn't feel a thing – not a thing. Then, when I finally committed to 4 months hard code, it came back! Couldn't believe it. Felt like I was 18 again. Just be patient. Don't scare yourself or cheat on yourself. It will come back! It's part of the process.
Thanks for your response and support. I have done 15 odd days NO PMO, then was with my partner for few days. Had sex but with some issues. Again started with NO PMO, and now on day 25. I will never go to P and M but need to have O with my partner, being in relationship. Will this regular break in NO PMO because of meeting the partner and having sex delay or change the course of recovery? Or only hard mode is the way to go for NO PMO ? And when you say that you feel 18 yrs again, I understand that you have instant, rock hard and long (45-75 minutes) erections. All three things together, which I am looking to regain as part of recovery. Thanks.
