I'm tired of NoFap, it's not working- Permanently damaged?

I would encourage you to read some of the success stories and gain some hope from them. There are members here that are in their 40s, 50s and older that have defeated their PMO addiction that they've had for longer than you've even been alive! It's possible, just don't lose hope and keep working hard.

 

There's people on here that have fapped for more than that, for years and years. I don't think you're a hopeless case at all. I don't think receptors are permanently damaged, it's just gonna take some hard work and dedication to undo the damage. You got this!

 

Your nick was not the best choice.
Nothing is permanently damaged. Just be patient. All is well. Stay strong!

 

This is the 234423 thread like this in here. What's up with that? Why are you creating more accounts with different nicknames to show your desperation? Now you are "Lost_Hope"?...

Cmon, get some determination and motivation to do better.

So you are saying that you can't get erections by thinking at hot women? Why would you want to have erections just by seeing or thinking about hot women? Do you want to become a pervert who needs to have sex everytime? Erections are all about libido control. Free your libido when you are in the right situation, for example when on bed with a girl. You don't need to get hard 24/7. If you just see a hot girl and you get an erection then it means your sexual energy is really high that you can not contain yourself, and that's not positive because it means that you can not control your libido.

Stop constantly crying and keep going with the NoFap journey. I'm sure you'll get an erection if you watch a sexual video. You are not asexual, you are just making things dramatic. Stop whining and keep going forward and improve yourself.

Good luck.

 

Hey, Coconut Oil can cure this.
If not this then AFA BLUE GREEN ALGAE; its a straight up brain cure.

 

You need to get over this. You have asked the same question about permanent damage 6 or 7 times on the same thread. You might look into compulsive behaviour and how it might manifest itself. You are worried about something. That's fair enough. It takes time to heal. Take that time. Understand that your body is repairing itself. I broke my arm and it took a long time to heal. Eventually...it healed. There are people on this site who were addicted to PMO longer than you. Why don't you read some of their journals? Do some research. You seem to want easy answers and a quick solution. There is no quick solution. Do some research, fill your day with things that don't fill you with anxiety about permanent damage. If you are consistently stressed about permanent damage - you aren't healing. You are repeating the patterns of PMO. You are obsessing in a similar way to your obsessing with your PMO. If you were PMO ing for 10 years, it's not likely that giving up for 2 months is going to repair it. You are part of your own experiment. Every person on here is different, and you are simply not going to be able to get an accurate response to how long it will take you to heal. You can get an indication of how long it took other people to heal, and you can make your own judgement about yourself based on what they have had to say about their processes. It is my opinion that the road to recovery is not a graph, a number or a straight line. It is erratic, it loops back on itself, it involves relapsing, it is frustrating, and it involves insights into your own behaviour and your own emotions, and your ability to not just understand what you have read and had an insight to, but your ability to act on those insights and understandings and mature.

 

man stop beating yourself up. Smile. Lift up your chest. You're a man. you have made some mistakes. you masturbated for 10 years and now your testosterone levels are low. So what are you gonna do now ? masturbate again ?
Close the goddamn computer. You'll heal, god will show you the way. Now stop worrying about something you can't control okay ? you'll heal and time will tell you when. now go focus on your exams/studies/work/whatever you're into and make some push-ups. NOW

 

Yeah sure, then why I've already seen threads like yours posted 3244432 times with different accounts. Saying that they can't get an erection when seeing or thinking about women and that they are permantly damaged.

Whatever, all I'm telling you is that you should crying and man up and keep improving yourself. Good luck..

 

Never found a guy posting the same question again and again. Choosing the nick "lost hope" indicates, that somebody has a problem to resist his own mind. There is always hope. And there was a reason, "lost_hope" registered here and still is posting - because he is full of hope.

 

I'm completely rebooted and feel fully healed, and I don't get boners during the day either but that's probably because I don't allow myself to fantasize or get lustful.. don't worry about wether you get boners during the day or not.. your not permanently damaged, stay positive I promise your only improving with nofap.

 

On this thread, THIS THREAD in almost every one of your comments you ask the same question. You asked in your first comment, and you asked the same question in several other comments. That is what I am referring to when I say you are obsessing and repeating yourself. You have received many replies. They might not be the kinds of replies you wanted to hear. If that is the case, ask yourself why. If it is not the case, then you have some work to do. Read the advice you got. People have suggested to you that there is no quick solution, that you should hang in there, or that it may take 80-90 days, or perhaps as long as 10 months in your case. In my response to you, out of all of my comments to you, you only respond defensively to the one where I point out that you have asked the same question many times. You need to digest the rest of what I said, and what others have suggested to you. You don't need to be defensive about observations and suggestions. People here are usually trying to help others, and sharing their experience and listening to others is part of how they mature and grow and enable themselves to not just give up their addiction to porn, but to grow out of it, to grow up and mature emotionally so they no longer need it.

 

This is not the case. It is impossible for most guys to reboot in three months or less. If they could, they would likely be middle aged or elderly guys. This 90 day recovery thing is complete fiction. Understandably, it has gained traction because it would be nice if you could reverse years of abuse with just 13 weeks of abstinence. But this just isn't going to happen.

 

They are not damaged. Keep yourself clean and look up

 

The nature of us addicts is that we look for a fix whenever we have a hard time, or anxiety. The fix we all had in common was porn and masturbation. While I do get stressed and sometimes have anxiety, mine is not too severe as to medicate myself, but, some people may need a form of medication for anxiety. If you have panic attacks then maybe you should see your doctor and have them give you a prescription. Sometimes we underestimate drugs but, not everyone's brains are wired the same way, some have chemical imbalances that will never be fixed, they can only be treated. The difference between taken a prescription drug and masturbating to porn is that one messes up with your life while the other simply brings balance to you. Seek out help and you'll see it's just chemicals in your brain, if you decided to do nofap you need to do it for the right reasons, to improve your life, but we will always be addicts.
