    Simple - just give your top 3 reasons for wanting to reboot your brain. Im curious to see what are the most common reasons. No right or wrong answers.

    I'll start:

    1. I want to regain my urge to have real sex with my long term gf

    2. I want to be able to automatically get and keep an erection

    3. I want to associate my gf and not porn with pleasure/orgasm

    2. I want to be able to automatically get and keep an erection
    This is my GOAL, i want to get erection just by thinking or looking at a woman without physically touching my penis .
    If i reach this stage, i will consider my NoFap is successful.
    I have read many success stories in which guys have said that finally they were able to get erection just by thinking,
    Im seeing improvements in morning wood and partial erections during the day so i think im on the right path,
    In due course of time, i will be able to get to my goal, god bless us
    Whats your reason BTW?

    My top 3 reasons were in my original post above. Want to get back to that place where I get an erection just from the merest anticipation of having real sex

    Good luck overclocked.

    Can I ask thyou extent of your PIED? Are you in a relationship? Do you lack the urge to have real sex or just the ability to get erect?

    1. rewire my sexuality so that real life women, most especially my girlfriend, are the ones who affect me and not porn.

    2. slightly similar to 1 but different enough: feel like i'm giving my whole self to my girlfriend rather than just what remains after the rest of it has been depleted by porn.

    3. be able to recognize and eliminate compulsive behaviors, whether they stem from PMO or not.

    Cannot agree more with you're comments Jocad.

    I know it isn't a huge consolation but it sounds like we have exactly the same concerns and goals. So at least we aren't alone.

    Can I ask...how long have you been with gf? Do you have the urge to have sex with her?

    Thanks, good luck to you, too.
    I have a new girlfriend. We don't see each other that often and haven't had sex yet.
    My PIED is pretty bad, but got better over time. Urges come and go. I think I could get erect if I really tried. Sex with a partner... not sure. Last time I had sex it wasn't that great due to erection difficulty but I managed to penetrate, please my partner and finish. That was months ago.

    1. Happiness (I was happy a part of my 113 day reboot and want to be the same)
    2. More energy and more potential in being an athlete (Getting a streak forever)
    3. I fucking hate masturbating so much.
     
  15. Number 1 reason for me is so I can start getting some sexually/romantic experience.

    Second, I want to reach deeper in my meditation practice and I know that sexual energy should not be wasted.

    Third, I guess that has to do with testosterone. testosterone makes you more ripped or something like that.

    it's great to know someone's on the road with me and has the same destination!

    we've been together since August 2016. i've always had the urge because i'm really attracted to her, but i take the lead and she agreed with my desire that we wouldn't have sex until marriage, if our relationship gets to that point. the temptations are definitely there, but it helps that our relationship is based on a lot more than just sexual desire.

    1. The number one reason I'm doing this is because I have an addiction and I want control over my body again. I've had trouble with alcohol, cigarettes and other substances before. I kicked them all in due time but PMO remains as an addiction for me. I want and need the ability to say NO to my self. I want to control my body, not have it controlled.

    2. Because of porn I view women and treat women like objects. Nothing more than a walking tube of meat. I used to be compassionate but the more porn I watched, the more time I spent locked away fapping, the lower my views of women became. Since becoming addicted to porn I haven't been in a relationship. I want to be who I was before porn. I want to be able to connect with women again.

    3. Skin and hair. I've noticed that the more I masturbate my hair falls out like crazy, my skin breaks out, looks oily and I have no energy or motivation to do anything. Even when I know the consequences I still do it. I want to maintain a full head of hair and clear up the acne I have. I don't want to look and be unhealthy anymore.
