After 36 years .....

I am 60 years old and have been masturbating at least once a day for close to forty years. My relationships have suffered and my marriage ended because of pmo. I have a great girlfriend but have lost most of my sensitivity and never ejaculate. I am on day 3.

 

Thanks for the encouragement Septimus!
Can anybody tell me how to activate the green sliding scale showing number of days and target please? I think it would really motivate me.

 

I've read a lot of great stories here. I'm feeling really motivated. I have a wonderful partner who I have confided in. She is a lot younger than me but seriously wise and incredibly supportive. She is also my motivation.
My stategy is a combination of meditation and aerobic exercise. When I feel weak I will meditate or take some exercise. Let's see how it goes ....
My target is to abstain until April 9th, my father's birthday.

 

4 days .....

 

7 days now. So far so good. I have been busy at work and that has helped. I'm waiting to hit a wall some day soon, this is the longest without M in years. I certainly feel stronger and more determined now that the first week has passed.
Some questions:
1. Is it possible to regain the sensitivity lost through years of "death grip" M?
2. I have not been able to O using a condom for many years, is it too much to hope for that this might change with time?
3. I am not circumcised so M was always outside the foreskin, ie no direct friction, has anyone else had this kind of experience? Does it change anything?

I'm looking forward to some opinions and ideas, it all helps. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the encouragement!
I started to analyse the times and circumstances when I would PMO. As a result I have now made a number of significant changes. I have always been interested in buddhism so I decided to take some classes in meditation. I also decided to embark on an aerobic training programme. This combination of meditation and exercise is helping to give me a new focus, aside from the health benefits, both mental and physical.
My streak is now 10 days, not much in comparison with many fantastic achievements here, but for me it is significant. I am feeling positive and enthusiastic and determined to win. At least when I hit a wall I will have some tools to deal with it. I feel great and motivated by the prospect of a new me, both mentally and physically, and also P and M free!
Good luck to all of you. Don't let it grind you down!

 

Please, can someone give me a like so I can get a counter going. Thanks.
