Hi everyone, I joined this community today after reading about the positive effects of being involved in the book "Wack: Addicted to Internet Porn" by Noah Church. I was shocked to realize that all my frustration about my sexual performance that ruined my self-esteem and created chaos in all of my relationships with real women, was due to my excessive use of pornographic online material. Ever since my first gf at university, I could not fully enjoy every aspect of the relationship, because simply I could not enjoy sex. At first, I thought it was because she was my first and I needed more experience, but the same pattern repeated with 3 more wonderful girls I had the chance of being intimate with. Lately, I was really depressed, because all the doctors told me that there was nothing wrong with my body functions: it was all in my head! I thought I would have to live with this ED problem for the rest of my life and even though my partners were very supportive throughout the years, I could never fully be in the moment, because I was constantly worried about my performance. After educating myself about PIED and abstaining for a 2-week test period, I saw great improvement without any enhancement drugs whatsoever. I want to regain control and happiness in my life and that's why I decided to begin the journey of rebooting. Wish me luck, guys!
@TurboCostas welcome to nofap. You did a great thing by coming here. I actually went through a very similar thing in my life as well: I pretty much lost my sex life (20 years!) to ED. Similar to you I consulted doctors but they couldn't diagnose me with any issue. In the end I resorted to pills but that used to ruin my sleep and used to leave me exhausted! Not to mention countless hours I lost on PMO. I recommend you to start a journal and make entries on daily/regular basis at least in the beginning and you will make progress. I wish you good luck!
