    Hey guys, I'm very dissatisfied with my sex life and I could use some advice. First I'll give you a little background information about my problems.

    I've been dating my girlfriend for just over a year. For the first three months of our relationship I never experienced an erection, even when she touched my penis while making out. In the fourth month of our relationship, I was finally able to get an erection and I lost my virginity to her.

    I was thrilled to lose my virginity, however I found the sex to be extremely disappointing. I couldn't feel a thing with my penis. The only way I knew I was inside her was by sight. We had sex many more times, and though I began to feel more sensations in my penis each time, I couldn't orgasm. We would have sex for an hour or so until she asked if we could stop because she was tired.

    About 5 months into our relationship, I unearthed a horrifying fact. I could cum during sex, but only if I fantasized about porn scenes I had seen in the past, or women other than my girlfriend engaging in extreme, porn inspired sex with me.

    I can finally orgasm from sex, but the experience leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Is this all sex is? Just masturbating with someone else's genitals instead of my hand? I don't want to believe that.

    I feel guilty because I know my girlfriend feels sexually insufficient when I watch porn. If only she knew the truth, it would break her heart. I feel disappointed because I've never gotten to experience mind blowing sex with a real person, the kind of sex I hear others talk of so delightedly. I need advice from people who have been in my shoes. If I stop masturbating and viewing porn, is there hope that I will ever have an amazing sex life?
     
  2. Prolonged abuse of masturbation and porn can most definitely desensitize a person to sexual stimulation. It's why many folks report having to watch more depraved genres of porn because the more tame genre they preferred to watch eventually didn't stimulate them enough.

    With that, I can say without a doubt that abstaining WILL restore the feelings and sensations you're supposed to have. For me, it takes about a month. (that's IF no wet-dreams or other accidental/unintentional orgasms happen)

    If the above do happen, only thing you can do is keep going. (but don't reset your counter, it wasn't intentional, so against your streak, it doesn't count)

    That being said, I don't think NoFap should just be about abstaining. Try doing things that'll get that testosterone flowing in you. Like working out.

    Good luck with your journey and your lady.

    My longest streak was about 150 days. It helped me become mkre sensitive, but not sensitive enough to orgasm without fantasizing. I think I have tp give up the fantasizing during sex. That's the only way I can see to have the sex life I want.

    @LiquidShoes After a month and having a wet dream, do you need to wait another month to be able to feel sexual desire and obtain an erection ?
     
  5. Everybody's different, so I can't answer this as if it's a "yes or no" question. For me, no. After a few days, I recover.

    I was scared to read "I need months". Wet dream are like masturbation ++, the orgasm is awesome and kind of special so I guess that being off for a few days is pretty okay since you would be off for 2-3 days after reaching your sex needs.
