    Hey all.

    As the title says, I'm married but due to medical/psychological issues my wife and I have not had sex for 6 years. At this stage it looks highly unlikely that we will ever have sex again. I have never been unfaithful to her and after 16 years of faithful marriage would find it very difficult to ever be.

    I'm currently on a no PMO streak as I recognized that my O was totally dependent on P. Couldn't nut without it. Clearly I need a reset in the biochemistry department so thought I would give it a go and see what happens.

    As far as day to day life goes I've not noticed any changes at all. As far as my marriage goes, none of it makes any difference as there is no intimacy there at all no matter what I do.

    Have been really keen to keep this going but really starting to wonder why. MO is literally my only outlet. So fucking depressing.

    Anyone else in the same boat?

    Had some droughts that have lasted as long as a year. Happened b/c I was PMOing like crazy and started tuning out the world.

    6 years is a long time with no intimacy. Obviously it took awhile to get there so why can’t you start back up?

    Yes, I was for 12 years. It was very depressing at times and for a few of those years I was in the grip of full blown PMO.
    It's a disgusting way to live. Freedom and purity is much more satisfying. You wrote, there is no intimacy there at all no matter what I do. Is there love? That can make all the difference in the world.
    I wish that I had some good advise for you but all that I can do is to congratulate you for being here on this site trying to become a better man and wish you well in that endeavor.
     
  4. Kind of. A couple of years ago, my wife had decided that we would not have sex again, so gave me permission to go on-line. I became addicted to a camera model and have been working on that addiction here.

    Wow sounds like me and my wife, married for seven years, we haven't even had sex, my porn addiction and porn ed has messed my body up. I feel so sorry for her because she is one of the most kindest and most innocent kind of women ever. She didn't understand my addiction and affects of porn but finally last year it took toll and she has been so depressed as her body has been wanting sex and I'm sure she wants a child as well as I do. So I stopped watching porn in August and I still am not getting anywhere. No morning wood but alot of wet dreams. I been watching porn for 21 years and now I'm 34. It will take me a long time but I really hope my wife's suicidal thoughts and feelings of emptiness goes away. I love her and I just can't get hard at all. I had many exes and even with them I couldn't do it. Ruined my life.

    What's the point of self pleasure? You are only fooling yourself to having sex with another human being. It is not real. Sure it "feels pleasurable" but it is 1000x better with another human you love. Please stop and be the best you can be <3

    I was like you, for sure you can have problems because of this in the future.

    I have 34, married, and like you I did PM for long time, that caused me ED and desensibilization, after 4 years with this problem, I started my recovery. I'm doing great, the ED problems are vanishing, and I am enjoying the sex again.

    Don't let that happens in your life, that almost destroied my relationship, and coust a lot in my life.

    You have the chance to change it now.

    Hi man,
    Are you already talked to her about that?

    That seems a problem that you both need to face together.

    After so long time without intimacy, I believe that you two should started the relationship againg. Go back to dating time, you need to reconect again, fall in love to each other again. The sex is not important in this fresh start, it will comes naturally with time.

    And for you, use this time to recovery from your PMO problem. Stay in line, with time you will fell much better. I really wish you the best of luck.

    I feel your pain buddy - I’m on a 5 year dry spell at home for a range of reasons. Massive family trauma due to a mental health issue that nearly broke us all - but we’re holding together and building things back. But the sex hasn’t come back.

    I wonder if is partially menopause but I need to crack my 90 day reboot before I “hope” for anything at home… so don’t even want to raise it yet. But I’m wondering if I’m serious about PMO and there is nothing at home if I’ve had my last O!!

    and that does worry me a bit!!

    Quite an informative thread on some practical issues. I am married with two kids. I wouldn't say we are in dry spell, yet sex is very rare. Mainly due to my pmo addiction. ED sometimes, other times a little better if I am on some streak. I love my wife very much. This time I am going full PMO hopefully at least 30 days or may be 60 days. Some suggestions:
    - if sex is not in the picture for now, there are other ways to show her your love. May be a passionate kiss sometimes, a slap on the ass or some lovable fondling. Keep her remind of your love.
    - Dating sometimes, or some nice jesture at home, flowers etc.
    - Listen to her, i know its mostly blah blah, still she is your wife and she deserves to eat your ear.
    - Work on you, nofap, exercise, meditation, make yourself more controlled and attractive to her.
