6 months milestone after 8 years of trying!!!

Me too buddy, My addiction spans 20 years or there about. My resolve is firm and decided. I hope for more success inn the future. Funny that in my recent streak I have had more than 6 people commenting about my deep voice, both men and women. This is perhaps one of the most outstanding aspect I have noticed.

 

I am close to that as well, 17 years, in total I think. Heavy urges to go back again. but on day 33 at the moment

 

Keep in mind no PMO is not the only variable in your life though, it can't make you feel great 24/7 on its own, you got to take into consideration so many things: diet, exercise, mindset (maybe things like meditation, gratitude), financial situation, hobbies, relationships, I mean I'm just naming a few things from the top of my head just to point out no PMO is not the end all be all, though it is very helpful and a catalyst for sure!
Congratulations on that streak, enjoy the freedom and cleanliness from PMO

 

well done u are trying to make it for 6 months
u needed 8 years but me i just need 1 year trying inshallah

 

yeah. noticed that too. i thought it was only about me

 

I know it sounds bad that for some people removing the bad effects of this addiction takes more than average but it is the truth. Everyone has their own journey. Usually, 90 days is a milestone that so many things expected to change but even if changes %10 for me then why wouldn't I get that %10? Our lives suck and even %10 better will make us happier than now. To be honest, my first goal is that 90 days but I'm not %100 sure I will have drastic changes when I hit 90. I don't have any idea but I don't have porn and masturbation in my life anymore. So 90, 180, 360 don't matter for me. I only hope to get well as early as possible but I know I'll be, one day or another. So, reading these type of stories don't break my hope. I only wish that it won't take so long to rehab but if it will, then what can you do? Stay focused. Keep the faith.

 

I wouldn't say it's 10% if we get to live free of PMO, that alone, just the fact that I'm not consuming this crap makes me feel way better than 10%. I guess you're talking about brain rewiring, which yes might take a while longer but that's okay, gotta start somewhere anyway.

 

Post-coital distress is far more common than imagined. Check out this new Korean study, for example: Sexual Behavior and Depression in South Korean Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study

You may want to experiment with sex without the goal of climax.

 

That's odd. I don't see why that would be the case in a loving relationship. The study doesn't provide much explanation unfortunately and I doubt that would merely be because of losing semen since it also happens to women apparently.

 

If you release during sex, that's probably why you feel that way after
