Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I hope this is the right forum to post this. So I discovered Porn at 14 and pretty much got addicted to compulsively masturbating sometimes 1-3 times a day for years. I fought for years trying to give up masturbating but i was addicted to that dopamine release man it was crazy. Over the last few years i cut down drastically from 1-3 a day, to once or twice every couple of months. I had interactions with women but was never horny enough for sex.. definitely feel I had sexual arousal disorder because I likely fried my dopamine receptors from masturbating so much. Something that used to turn me on crazy and had me ready to go seemed like impossible to get back to. Then I rekindled a friendship with someone I knew i wanted to be with but I know i can never have that relationship unless I healed.. i want a family and i want to be able to have sex like I used to. So back in July ish/ August of last year that WILL to stop came full circle. Since then I have not masturbated and Have total control.. i have no urges. I also opened up to my partner about my issue and she’s totally in support of me. We’re slowly taking those steps to rebuilding that connection again from the screen and bs to an actual person again.
I want to know how long does it take to kind of get back to how I used to be when i was sexually active ? Like raging hard one like normal and etc? I know the path is different for everyone but I need some guidance on how I can help heal my sensitivity and dopamine receptors so i can fulfill myself and be active as I used to. And what I can do to aid in my recovery.
Thank you so much
