Hi guys, during the reboot period the hardest part imho is doubts that ED and long refractory periods maybe caused by physical problem rather than porn addiction. Did anyone had these doubts and how did you coup with them. How should we rule out any possible physical condition? Some doctors are just improfessionals and when they say you are ok you might actually have some physical defect...
Physical problem?

Hey Zenreboot,
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad some of the vids/info has helped! Glad you're here.
Well, if you can ejaculate with no delay while masturbating with porn but can't while masturbating without porn/having sex, that points to porn being a problem and possible cause of your problem. However, if you've always had this problem, then it certainly is possible it is related to something else. As for the refractory period, every individual guy will vary on how long his refractory period is with many variables at play.
My advice is to go see a doctor to rule out physical causes. Always a good decision. If you check out healthy then continue on with the reboot as it can't hurt, it can only help. The doubts you are having are very common and normal, I had them as well at points and I went and got my hormones checked. (I knew my dick worked because it easily got hard with porn.)
Hope the best for you.

Gabe TY for your informative response. The problem is I don't get much pleasure even with porn. But with porn it is better. And also I am kinda concerned about long reboot period. What if long obstaining from sexual activities Causes physical issues? I've heared that healthy guy in order to stay in healthy shape should ejaculate once a week minimum.

I figure I'd ask now. I can get semi-hard without porn with direct stimulation of the penis by my hand, but the thing is I have no libido and my balls are saggy and not "full" aka lifeless genitalia. Seems like a flatline symptom? My penis is normally now in a flaccid state or "shrunken". I can't get aroused either at all anymore by people in real life. Only texting and "sexting" arouses me slightly. I have physical discomfort in my penis. Two doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me. Does this most likely point to the cause being porn?
I was worried about it being venous leak but...I think it's porn honestly. I'm just so unsure.
Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this topic. I apologize Zenreboot.

Zenreboot said:It's okay. This topic is for everyone not just for me. I think everything you have stated is most likely connected with porn addiction symptoms and flatline. So don't worry you will get back your normal sexual health if you carry on your rebootstay strong!
Thank you man. I was hoping that Gabe could answer, but I'd rather not impose. But I do appreciate your help and advice, brother!

I consider myself somewhat an expert on delayed ejaculation, since I have been struggling with it for 2 years now. It is naturally related to long refractory time because reaching ejaculation becomes more difficult with each "round" of intercourse. This is true for all guys I think.
The good news is that rebooting helps delayed ejaculation. My orgasms were almost completely absent before my reboot, but now after many long streaks I can quite reliably do 1 session of intercourse per day and finish every time. As for refractory time, I usually need 12 hours. Like you Zen, I can't usually do round 2 within the same evening. Porn was related to my problem, because when I tested my refractory time 2 years ago with porn, I could PMO 4 times within a couple of hours. I am still hoping that by continuing my reboot, I can achieve this kind of refractory time also in sex.
But even though porn addiction may be one cause to DE and long refractory time, there are certainly many variables at play here, as Gabe said. Some of them may be physical. For instance, my tight circumcision has reduced my sensitivity quite a bit (I can tell because the operation was done in my 20's), and it makes me more vulnerable to dysfunctions.
