Really sorry to hear that Darreng, I wish you the best in fighting this horrible addiction. Sometimes people seem to really beat it, but unlike alcoholism or smoking or gambling or other addictions where many people are able to go completely cold turkey and eventually get themselves to a point...

YMMV, but many men -- myself included -- have had success curing or at least improving this. For some it takes longer though, and even once the physical issues are gone psychological issues may remain. Some ideas that you may have already tried: - Stopping porn and death grip masturbation...

Amen brother, it's not just the high speed internet either, now temptation is always lurking on our phones! Gotta be hard for the kids these days to function.

First of all, most of us are not doctors and even if we are we aren't intimately familiar with your life story like your psychiatrist is. So I'd listen to them first. In general, "if you're going through hell, keep going." Changing something is necessary. It's hard to say what exactly...

It's been a while, how have you been doing Fitty? I wish you well wherever you are.

How're you doing, Fitty?

When I'm feeling depressed I feel the same. But what is there to do about it? The way I see it is the fight itself is a noble fight, and while we would of course prefer to slay the beast, subduing it is better than letting it run wild. Every PMO is a little bit of damage to your health and...

How you doing, Fitty?

I'll also add: excessive stress hurts T levels. Consider taking up meditation to reduce your stress (and improve your overall wellbeing)! Sam Harris' Waking Up is a good starting point for beginners.

Thinking in extremes or absolutes can be dangerous. Usually medication messes with ED, rather than helping it, but if your therapist thinks it's worth a try you could go for it and document what happens. Might also be worth getting your T levels checked with some bloodwork. If that's too low...

Keep up the NF / PornFree. That can only help. But this sounds like it might be good old psychological nerves in your head rather than PIED. Chill, relax, take it slow, spend more time with your woman, maybe focus on oral if the equipment isn't performing, etc. Meditation can help, or just...

Hey Ray, thanks for sharing. Having a partner along with you for the self-improvement journey can be a great help, but at the end of the day YOU have to want this for yourself. I recommend lifting heavy weights with a program like starting strength. It's a great way to drop weight, build...

I had similar issues with my first girlfriend. Not sure if this is still an issue with your wife, but if it is, I'd try without condoms and see how much it helps. In my case it made such a huge difference that, after doing some soul searching and determining I really didn't want to have kids...

I'd recommend taking a deep breath, slowing down, and taking stock of the situation. Don't rush into anything. I'd start by watching Gary Wilson's talk, and reading his book: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Brain-Porn-Pornography-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00N2AH8NW Then read around this forum for...

If you're looking for a fun project that will require learning and building some basic technical skills, you could setup a pi-hole: https://pi-hole.net/ The idea here is: the pi-hole connects to your router/cable modem, and then all of the devices in your home (computer, cell phone, smart tv...

Hang in there FittyBands!

Hey reboot_8716, sorry to hear about the struggles with your marriage. I'm in my early 30's and would love to settle down, find a loving partner and best friend to go through life with, and start a family -- but I'm terrified of ending up in your exact situation. Unfortunately I don't think...

Been following your thread for a while FittyBands. Registered an account to say your progress has been a big inspiration to me and I hope you continue to make good progress in 2022. Your post in https://forum.rebootnation.org/index.php?threads/20994/post-221912 about feeling possessed by a...
