    Honestly if she banged one of your friends I would avoid her because if you fall in love, that will eat away at you.

    However, if you decide not to go with that advice I will say this. Just tell her how you feel. Maintain eye contact, they love that. You don't have to bring up PIED in that conversation but I would at some point. The best thing that could happen is that she understands and is patient, and there to support you.

    The worst thing that could happen is that she flakes on you, and you dodged a bullet with messing with a girl that cares nothing about you.

    Stop stressing yourself out over the "what ifs". That what if voice is your inner fap addiction telling you that you're not good enough and you should just go home and masturbate for the rest of your life.

    Grind that voice into dust.

    Lots happened! You kept your pants on,but that does not mean that "othing happened." Nothing will do more for your PIED condition and your performance anxiety than experiences like this one. We often want to rush into O with the same urgency we entered PMO. Hopefully after 195 days, you've realized the disaster of rushing to achieve your release.
    Now, together you want both of you to enjoy a full experience. She is special, so you are going for far more than a night you can brag about. To get there, you lay a foundation and build your relationship. You listen to her share her issues and you share yours. You lay out your dreams, she lays out hers, and together you talk through ways they can all be realized. Somewhere in that process, the relationship begins getting physical.
    If you find out that she had been repeatedly abused by her step-dad and thinks she may be frigid, you go very slow, but you do not drop her. Same thing when she finds out about your PIED and PMO past. If she knows you and how special you are, she does not drop you, but she also doesn't push you to perform perfectly. You are getting into this together.
    Best of luck as you continue the process of coming together.

    I am definitely still trying to be with her, she didn't sleep with him but I know he fingered her. We have known each other for years now and they only met like twice at that point and he made the move on her. I'm pretty sure it was because she was upset and thought I was sleeping with someone else in the next room over. That was honestly kind of my fault.. I invited a girl that had followed me to bed before over, the girl I liked, and my friend who I never told him how I felt about her at that point yet.. all of this after we were drinking. Pretty dumb of me

    No, it wasn't. She did the exact same thing as you so at least you were both dumb so you can't really hold anything over each other. That's a good thing I guess.

    Tell about love first, that's the important matter. If it comes to sex, calmly take her hand and explain that you can't right now, and if she asks why, give her some details.

    Go for it brother. Much love

    Man, just-DO IT ! If it's a yes, it's gonna be alright, even if it's a no, what the fuck ever, really you can't take this anymore. You don't have a choice anymore.
    Right now it may seem huge but it's always like that with love, so don't think twice about it and do it.

    I've been dealing with some intense mood swings over the past few days and I guess I'm not used to it at all. In a way it could be a good thing by my brain trying to find a natural balance. I don't know but it can be scary at times I'm definitely grateful for the site and community for the outlet and support it offers. In a way there's something positive that I've noticed during my low points over the past couple of days and that is that I haven't thought of porn at all, no urges, nothing other than I fucking hate it and don't understand why I engaged in it for so long. If it weren't for this community so many of us would be exponentially worse off than we already are. The amount of people documenting there journey gives hope because everyone's story is unique in a way and we're all looking for answers. I'll probably wind up losing my mind on here again but while my outlook is a little brighter I feel like I should say this.

    I can understand that you haven't tried to do it with her, but that you haven't told her why is a different matter. But what I find most bewildering of all is that you haven't kissed her! I know one thing can lead to another but, really, it doesn't have to if you don't want it to. If after all that time you haven't even kissed her, how is she to know you want to be more than a brother to her? I know you're anxious and all, but there is no real excuse, to my mind. You should at least have kissed her -- at the very least... and more than once, by now! Dude, it must be torture for her not to know what you want -- in a world where others will go all the way with her pretty immediately, you need to at least make a physical connection of some sort -- if it's still possible. Then, right after, you need to pour out your heart. Good luck!

    Ok so today is a perfect example of why I'm so hesitant. She literally posted a photo on instagram with a girl on top of a guy in bed riding him. The caption is this could be us but you playing. And underneath she puts "on blast" see I like everything about this girl except for the fact that everything in her relationships that is bothering her she puts on the internet for everyone to see. Maybe I'm dodging a bullet. This is exactly what I need with my pied, someone who posts shit like that on the internet for all our friends to see.

    Nothing happened, we haven't really been talking for like a week. We both play music and we played a show together about 2 weeks ago. We texted a bit after that when she sent me a picture her friend took of me performing. After that she randomly started texting me like a week ago for a little while but the convo didn't last too long. Now it's been a week since we talked other than a very short convo about ticket prices to a festival I might go to. I give this other girl guitar lessons and a few days ago I went over her house for a lesson but we wound up drinking and I was telling her about the girl I like and she grabbed my face and started making out with me which totally caught me off gaurd. She wanted to get a shower together but I declined that, partly because I knew I wouldn't be responsive the way I'd like down there and partly because I'm not really interested in her. We did wind up sleeping in the same bed but I was trashed and literally wound up sleeping with my jeans on.. not sure how akward our next lesson will be.. lately my thoughts have been kinda all over the place with her. Sometimes I really wanna talk to her, other times I'm not interested, and other times I get really pissed about the fact that I've been into her for years and always had a connection with her yet I introduced my oldest friend to her and they wind up hooking up right away and he said the only reason he had the confidence was because he was on like 3 different drugs. Also when I was at the height of this frustration about it I fell off of my gym routine that I've had for months and started eating like shit. I've kinda decided to not stress about it too much and get back into my self improvement routine. For now I feel a lot better but I don't know if I will have a moment of clarity and regret the distance I'm putting between us. I think the roller coaster of up and down view points on the situation is a result of my brain trying to rebalance itself. I don't know which one is the "real" me. Sometimes I think about girls a lot, other times I couldn't be bothered.

    @Hisself , I think you may be more healed than you think you are. Your emotions go all over the place when you think about a girl you like; that sounds like a young teen aged boy who knows nothing about porn. You can still have an unhealthy amount of performance anxiety, but you are sounding like you are healing well.

    I would ask the girl if you both could meet, because you want to talk to her. Then I would tell her my honest feelings about her. Maybe say something like: I'm really into you and I like you, but I hesitated to make a move, because I suffer from performance anxiety and I didn't want to disappoint you. Maybe tell her then about your porn addiction if she asks for more details.
    I really think this is maybe the only way to get comfortable with this.
    If she rejects you for that, then she doesn't care enough for you, which means you're better with another girl. But if she's into you she will care. Then you can close this whole chapter and a huge burden will lift of your shoulder.

    You sound like you got thoughts running through your mind like crazy. Maybe try out some meditation to calm your mind. I was always a crazy overthinker like you (at least you sound like me) especially when it came to girls and since I'm doing it I'm a lot more chilled with it and not thinking so much about the 'what if's.

  18. I am a girl and I believe that maybe avoid talking about that or start to mention "casually" and see her reaction. Maybe in sex she is impatient maybe she wouldn't care. You could start saying that you have a problem and now can't have sex. Sex is not pivotal if she really likes you. Do you think she really likes you? Are you sure that getting an erection for sex is not possible now for sure? I hope everything goes fine with the girl you like :):emoji_bouquet:

    Well at THIS point I don't know exactly.. I know she did as of a week or two ago. We hooked up about a month and a half ago and started texting constantly for like a month. I'm not sure if you've read all the way back at the start of this post about how it all went down but we've been friends for like two years but she was in a relationship pretty much the whole time. Then when that ended things got a lot different, for the better though since I've always had a thing for her. Then we finally got a chance to hangout a few weeks after we first hooked up at the concert and I woke up in a shitty flatline and had a borderline anxiety attack that day and wanted to call of hanging out but we were going to start going to the gym and she told me she just bought all new gym clothes so I felt like I didn't wanna let her down. We stayed up til sunrise talking and I never made a move or told her how I've felt. Everything changed a bit after that we would text sporadically and when we'd hang out it was always around people definitely giving signals here and there but now we haven't really talked in like a week. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get it up I feel like a bit of an extreme case, don't know for sure but I think I got a ways to go before I'll be ready. To part of me it seems so foreign I can't imagine ever feeling ready. I guess at this point I don't know if there will come a time where I'll know I'm ready or if I just have to find out. I feel like I'm not seeing the commonly stated signs that people report when a reboot is completed.
