Online Chat Recovery

I stopped watching porn about a decade ago.
This year I found myself being pulled to online chat forums. I would meet others, begin a sex related chat and it would end with both parties climaxing. I recently found myself having problems with ED and wondered if the compulsive use of online chat was a factor? Please share your thoughts.
Thank you-

 

I would agree that I’m creating an artificial dopamine delivery system. I’m now 8 days in to quitting sexting and riding out the flatline period.

 

Thanks everyone. I have noted that my penis seems to lack sensitivity during sex. I’m not able to feel much of anything. Is this due to the flatline or something else?

 

Hi there - just to clarify, I did have a decade of no PMO and saw all the benefits. I had a healthy sex life for a decade. It was just recently I found myself falling into online chat and feeling the negative effects in my sex life.

 

Please clarify: you did no PMO for 25 days, correct?

 

Well done! Any results as far as your erections go?

 

Hi everyone -
Just an update. I started this mid February and am now at day 21.
I have noticed benefits though it may mostly be psychological: I’m guilt free, I don’t feel like I’m hiding something from my partner, and all of my sexual energy is focused on our relationship, not some “side hobby”. I also feel I’m adjusting to the dopamine high the sexting was giving me.
I’m wondering if these fairly recent positive benefits came quickly due to the fact that this wasn’t visual porn but it was sexting? Share your thoughts.
