That is a bigger problem than porn for me… sexting and chatting. Still has the same effect, that artificial stimulation. It’s hard to give up too since I actually know some of my chat mates in person lol you did the best thing by removing her. I limit my chats now and avoid the sexual content...

Good questions and I may have some insight! My situation is similar to yours as my PIED has hindered my marriage on numerous occasions. Here’s some of my experience. First I’ll answer your intimacy question. The things I have read, as well as my experience, is that intimacy, especially with your...

It’s been a few days since I posted so I wanted to give an update. I spent the long weekend with a lot of one on one time with my wife (currently long distance and went to see her). It was very helpful and therapeutic. She understands my struggles and is very supportive. While I was still in and...

Yup! I know the feeling with the killing it lol after my wife’s hysterectomy I ran into the same issues. While we are synched in every way possible, her libido isn’t as high as it used to be, so I substituted with PMO as did you. Just takes time to fix and rewrite yourself, I know all about the...

I had a full recovery last year, similar to yours. Sex was back to normal and everything. We were very happy. Now, my libido at times is a lot higher than my wife’s so there were times I was in the mood and she wasn’t, just the nature of our relationship (also one reason why we are ENM, but...

Been a few days since this last post, the first in a very long time. I worked through a hectic few days that were very stressful to myself and my family. I didn’t turn to my go-to relief of chatting and edging, which has seemed to take over for my PMO, that brought me here to begin with...

I’ve been reading your journal and your recovery sounds alot like mine. I’ve been on and off this site for almost a year. I made a quick recovery after my initial push. My sex life was back to normal and things were great! I discovered my Achilles heal is chatting/other online activity. My flat...

It’s been a while since I have posted or even thought about posting. I began my journey last march and I can honestly say it worked! I had some setbacks but typically kept with my program. I continue working out, I don’t surf any explicit sites, and I rarely masturbate. I was experiencing...

I use Reboot:quit porn now. A lot of tools and a daily tracker that helps me keep track of my progress. It helps out a lot. Any meditation app can help keep focus also

I did swear off of it at first, but after a while I’m leaning towards once in a while may be ok. Without porn of course. So I’m still undecided on it. I’m enjoying sex much more without all the PMO and MO in between. I just worry it may trigger a total relapse. I’m almost 90 days in and this was...

I started having sex as soon as I could. What I have read was that intimacy and trying doesn’t hurt, it actually helps with the rewiring and gets you on the path to healthy sex. It retrains your brain to crave real intimacy and real women instead of the digital stimulation you get from porn. As...

I’m on the fence about this as well. I’m 85 days into no PMO with great success. The other night however I gave into temptation and masturbated. No porn or hard core porn fantasy/thoughts, just touch and thinking of my wife. I’m trying to figure out if this is a relapse myself, or just healthy...

Hope this finds everyone well! It’s been an interesting journey to say the least. I have come to a level of self awareness that I never really could grasp. That’s what makes this hard, the self evaluations and the balance between wants and needs. On day 80... yes day 80, I had a setback... a...

I have been on my PMO/reboot journey for about 60 days. I haven?t posted in my main journal for a while. To recap, I?m 44, married, had a very active sex life until PMO gave me a serious bout of PIED. It affected almost every aspect of my marriage. I began the journey, I flatlined for a while...

Greetings all! I?m a 44 mwm who has discovered that porn has screwed me up. For my back story, I have always been very sexually actively, in the lifestyle, and happily married. I?ve watched porn off snd on for years, but never had any issues like this before. I?ve had months on end where I would...
