If You Don't Use It Do You Lose it?

Hi Cap. The whole "if you don't use it, you lose it", is a lie the addiction is whispering in your ear. Don't listen. Besides, "it" is actual sex, not porn. It is trying to talk you into relapsing. As one who successfully rebooted years ago I can assure you the 90 day reboot will not kill you, and when I came out of it, everything worked far better than it did before. I was harder and bigger. Commit yourself to the process, and it will work for you. I promise.

Peace.

Will I AM.

 

Yea, that saying is mostly misunderstood. You must use it, since it's a muscle thing and need to be worked on, but if you overuse it, it will fail on you. So just find some other outlet for your energy and don't trick yourself into relapsing, because then you will be bored and frustrated too. Good luck!

 

You won't lose it. Before I relapsed I would wake up every morning with a railroad spike. It was awesome and the reason I joined this group--I want that every morning.

 

What you will lose sperm, you already waste in M, enjoyment you waste it in O, sex you waste it in P, so when there nothing to loose then why fear of loosing something?
First earn something then fear of loosing it..
Nothing is going to take away your sex-drive,pleasure,etc. other than PMO so focus on rebooting.....

 

If you want to get ethnical, you do lose muscle mass of you stop working out but it takes time. I had missed two weeks of working out due to traveling but just yesterday cranked out only 1 less pull-up per set than I normally do. So losing muscle mass does take time. And the or is, while it does have muscle, is largely composed of tissue and blood vessels. As long as you got blood flowing down there you should be good. Not to mention you probably get boners while you sleep that you don't even know about.

Boredom is the enemy and it must be destroyed. Get a routine going--read, build a shed, split firewood, make a potato gun, write poetry, drag railroad ties around your yard. Stay active, keep your brain and hands busy and stay off the pornbox (laptop, tv, etc).

Check in on the forums if you feel like you're sliding. This group is here to help.

Stay the course.

 

Sex is a natural thing. Way back in the day, before porn existed, people knew how to have sex and everything was fine. You're not going to lose your ability to have sex by not watching porn or MOing.

 

Before I started my reboot, I had no morning wood and now that I am in reboot mode I am getting all kinds to the point that I wake up in the middle of the night with hard erections. PMO is definitely the culprit.

As for the boredom, you have more time on your hands so find something productive, educational or inspirational to do with it!

 

How about just repeating
"If you don't use it, you WONT lose it".

 

Only thing I would lose is probably some stamina. Which is to be expected when going without PMO and sex for a long time. So I guess you might say it would work too well, haha. That effect should be gone quite soon after resuming tho. And if you are still having sex during no PMO period you should not experience that either.

 

30,60,90 is a good start but honestly, if you're not willing to commit, you will just build yourself up for failure and then relapse and feel like shit
