Hi all,

I introduced myself and stated my reasons for joining in the introduction forum. You can read my post here: https://www.pegym.com/forums/introduce-yourself/64959-new-here-worried-about-erectile-disfunction.html

So, I'll use this thread as a log for my progress. First I'll start by giving up porn and masturbation in an attempt to have a harder erection during sex. If all goes well, I will then start trying some of the exercises to see if I can increase my size! One step at a time though :-)

Entry number 1: today is the 4th day porn and masturbation free. I was tempted to give in yesterday as I was home alone, but I kept my mind busy!

So far so good!

Awesome man, keep up the good work! I don't have a porn problem, but I have had issues lately ejaculating everytime I do PE, and I think it's effecting my eq, so goign to focsu on only ejaculating once every 2-3 weeks... Keep up the good work!

5th day today and I woke up with morning wood!

Not that I don't on occasion anyway, but it was a lot more noticeable today having not ejaculated for 5 days.

Ok, today is the 9th day porn free! The urges are there, but they're not that strong that I can't control them.

EDIT: This post originally contained a question about loss of libido. I've since stopped being lazy and have done some research and found out that it's common to "flatline" during a reboot.

New question: I'm still having sex with my girlfriend during this reboot, because my ED wasn't bad enough that I wasn't able to have sex. However, will I recover quicker if I don't have sex during this time? I haven't told my girlfriend about it, but we have a strong relationship so I know that if I told her about my addiction, she'd fully support me.

Thanks.

ANOTHER EDIT: I should also note that I started caressing my girlfriend in bed this morning. I got really turned on and even got an erection. Not a full one, but I'd say at least 75%. The reason I want to log this is because usually I don't get an erection from touching my girlfriend - I usually have to wait for her to touch me to get me going. So yeah... that was a welcome surprise! I'm really surprised and happy I'm noticing things like this after just 9 days!

13th day porn and masturbation free! I am feeling absolutely great about it! Sex has improved already and I feel like I can focus on day to day tasks more.

Day 14 - I'm home alone and finding it really hard not to look at porn. This is the hardest it's been so far. I'm trying to think of things to do to keep my mind occupied.

I keep thinking typical "addict" thoughts in my head, like "I like it, so why should I quit?" and "Maybe if I just read an erotic story it won't count..."

I'm trying to just focus on how great sex has been with my gf over the past 14 days. That's the main thing that's stopping me from looking at porn.

Don't give up guy. just try your best to recreate what your conditions were yesterday, when you said it was so easy.

Day 17. I came in my girlfriend which I haven't done in a long time! My penis just feels more sensitive which is great! I've also told my girlfriend about my addiction and she was understanding and wants to help me through it.

Looked at porn last night briefly. Didn't masturbate though. This was partly me being weak and giving in and partly because I wanted to "test" myself. I found that I enjoyed it, but felt like I hadn't missed much over the past 17/18 days. I feel this will help me next time I get the urge. I know that it just won't be that great.

Failure! I masturbated to porn :-( just the once though and although it's probably a big set back, I haven't had the urge since so hopefully I can get back on track!

Ok - I'm back after being away for a week. I've masturbated and looked at porn about 4 times during that time. Disappointed with myself - but at least I have a target now. I want to pass the 3 week mark at least this time.

Hi jeej. I've been following your posts about your porn addiction and thought I would try to help. One of the best articles I've read about this was on the website manofvigor. Here is a link to the article. It highlights the problems that arise from becoming addicted to porn such as ED, Premature ejaculation and how it interferes with our relationships. Check it out and I hope it helps you!
