    This is the first day of my reboot and I am honestly quite scared of the challenge. It is daunting to think that I can go from masturbating effectively every day with porn, to not masturbating at all and abstaining from all types of pornography. Until a few months ago I had no idea of the effects of porn on one's sex life. Then I began to experience PIED like never before in my life. I genuinely didn't know what was happening and not until it happened more than once did I get worried. I thought something was wrong with me physically since I could not hold an erection after foreplay. This is when I stumbled upon NoFap and discovered what PIED is and how bad the effects from PMO are to one's sex life and to one's life in general. And so I come here today tremendously committed to rebooting my brain and embarking on a new life, free of porn and masturbation. The threads I have read here are great and that support and encouragement is what will help me achieve my goals. It is comforting to know that I am not alone on this challenging path.

    Any tips for rebooting will be greatly appreciated!

    You've got this. I'm starting today as well. I think it can be helpful too to think of this as an experiment. Just ask ourselves what interesting and awesome experiences we could be preventing ourselves from having due to excessive porn and masturbation—experiences we can start having through a reboot. I'm sure they're different for everyone, but that's up to us to find out.
