    Man_in_30s_trying_to_quit_from_last_10years

    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...

    Increase your testosterone 💪

    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.

    Should I start taking medication to help recover?

    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...

    Are there levels of PIED?

    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...

    Still struggling

    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...

    Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot.

    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...

    Help me

    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...

    Software and Technology Tools to make using more difficult

    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...

    My wife’s reaction to me telling her I’m quitting porn wasn’t what I hoped

    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...
