I turned 38 recently and I'm really panicking about reaching 40 and still being a virgin. I'm sort of half-given up about finding someone before reaching 40. I feel so much sorrow.

My situation is still the same - weak erections. And yes, I am applying holistic approach to recovery - always have!

In recent weeks and months, I've been having a really intense and emotional time more than usual (today, for example, I cried in the bus - I simply cannot go on being alone much longer). Today I had a blood test appointment with a nurse. So, I did something that I always lacked the bollocks to...

Hello, Whenever I lay in bed watching Youtube on my iPad, the same night I have a pornographic dream (as in my PMO days I used to do this with PornTubes). Obviously the brain is linking the behavior with the outcome (dream), but what does this tells us? i.e - Does every time this happens...

Okay, I had enough of seeing so many people burying their heads in the sand! Look?. there is not ONE research that studied the recovery of people from PIED ? not one research. Yet people are more than happy to go around and spread around a misleading notion that recovery is possible for most...

Hello, At the start of last week, I noticed that my anhedonia became worse quite badly - it almost doubled its effects. I have no idea why this happened. Only two guesses: A. On Monday last week I was watching a TV program, it was the first time I watched TV for a while, and I kept focusing...

I find it hard to believe that us, as beings that are hard wired sexually, don't find sexual thoughts as a part of everyday life! So, as some on here have claimed that it is not necessary natural to fantasize about sex - can you tell me what are the evidence behind it, please??

Hello, Despite being a virgin and never having a girlfriend (and always wanting a GF and sex), why is it that now, through the rebooting process, my brain no longer craves these things??? Doesn't care about sex anymore, doesn't get interested at looking at real women anymore (nor porn, of...

Well?? I just think this is near impossible for me. (Not least we acutally NEED it to maintain our lives efficiency)

Hello, Look, I've just had enough. I've had enough of the lack of sexual stimuli in my life (REMINDER: I'm a 34y/o who has never had any intimate moment with a woman - believe me, this is extremely frustrating!!) I can accept eliminating Porn, masturbation, sexual fantasying, etc, but come...

Hello, I don't know if this is related to PIED or not, but I'm asking because I don't know. Basically, since I started hardmode, I noticed that my body is putting on weight more around the hips/arse/legs areas than on my stomach. Before this, I always had fat accumulating on my stomach - but...

Hello, I'm currently reading a book Treating Pornography Addiction by Dr. Kevin B Skinner. Even though I no longer have any interest in porn, I decided to read it in order to obtain the knowledge about this issue 'formally'. The problem is, last night as I was reading it, it triggered memories...

Hello, This is a quote from a book about healing the brain: ""With repeated use of a drug, the body adapts by either producing less dopamine or down-regulating its receptors." Why is it that people with PIED are told that they have too much dopamine and that they need to stay away from fast...

Hello, I'm currently avoiding looking at my penis. Not sure why, just because I believe it is synonymous with the PMO habit over the years. I just want to give my brain a break from 'knowing' my penis. Anyone here thought about this and what it might mean? (If anything at all.)

Hello, It's just so bloody annoying that, when you're feeling that you're exiting a flatline, a new one suddenly comes up! Like earlier today, this happened to me: I was waiting at the bus stop, a beautiful women who had her top half-way down her beautiful breasts, came and stood next to me...

Hello, I know that Gabe changed the furniture round in his room/flat, so I'm just wondering if this is necessary for us to do too? I ask this because, recently and standing on or near the spot in my room where I used to masturbate, my brain suddenly starts feeling sensitive about it. In...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj-jBi7ehyI Basically the guy is saying for every year that you have fapped, it will take you 2 months to recover. So if you've been fapping for 10 years, it would take 20 months for you on hardmode to recover. Any scientific basis behind this??

Hello, Even since my last PMO relapse in August 2017 after which, upon checking my erection the following day, I noticed that my penis had shrunk noticeably. (and also less blood flow) This discovery SHOCKED me really bad - at that point my only thought process was that, as things stand right...

"Herbal remedies white mulberry (Morus alba), noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia), magnolia bark (Magnolia officinalis), and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) get rid of excess dopamine and should be avoided when increasing dopamine is your goal. (13, 14, 15, 16)" Well, what does anyone think...
