My journal

I've been reading a bunch of your journals and decided doing my own would be helpful.
10 days, no PMO. 3 days, no MO. Since this is my first entry, I'll start with some background info. When I was a kid my father ran his own porn site. He photographed local models, and worked with some professional models. He also had a cartoon fetish page.I had access to his entire affiliate site network with his master password. By the time I had my own computer in my room we had high speed internet,  expanding my list of prefered sites, and news groups. By 21 I had minor PIED, but it didn't get really bad until my mid 20's when I discovered the tube sites. At that point I was lucky to get it up for one out three women I tried to sleep with. By the time I was 30 I could barely get it up at all, and that destroyed my confidence. At 31 I discovered the herbal supplements they sold at gas stations (apexxx) my dick was 16 again. At 32 I was the stud I always wanted to be with those supplements, and even hooked up with a girl i was chasing for a while. We've been together five years now. The sex was non stop, and mind blowing......until one day six months in the sex just stopped. So I quickly started slipping even further down the PMO pit, this even began leading to an eating disorder. If I could get it up for her, I couldn't keep it up. It wasn't long until we had lost the connection, and were more like roommate and cuddle buddies. It wasn't long till I actually started falling in live with the nudie models. Legitimately fell in love, and formed some kinda weird one sided relationship with them. I would get so excited when I would see new posts from the ones I was in love with. Last fall is when I actually started discovering articles about the effects of porn on the brain, and the site suggest 6-12 weeks of no porn to fix the damage. My first unofficial reboot. It lasted a few weeks, until I found my harem on twitter, and was back to my relationships, and only another week till i was back to the hard stuff. I found yourbrainonporn.com and this site a few day into this my second reboot. I watches a video by Gabe Deem about his PIED, and was inspired by the fact there were other healthy young men with the same problem. I've definitely experienced some withdrawls. Flu like symptoms, increased aggression (lost my temper so bad Monday, I broke my TV). Last week I was getting consistent morning wood, but after my MO slip up Monday morning, its been like a piece of dead meat. I don't miss my harem, and I definitely don't miss the increasingly weird videos I was getting into. I do miss the false intimacy, and the problems that led to this slope are definitely still very present. The positives: I know I can beat this! I am extremely stubborn, and can achieve anything I dedicate myself to. My goals are, 30 days, 90 days, 120 days, then the rest of my life. I am so excited about the though of having a normal healthy sex life, I can't wait!

Welcome aboard, vrblasasn.

We, who already managed to go some period of time without P, know that PIED is real. And that PMO addiction is a vicious animal. I wish you to get back on track after your recent relapse. You are not alone in this.

PS: You might want to delete the specific names out of your previous post as it might trigger some members to search for them. It is mentioned in the forum guidelines.

11 days no PMO
4 no MO
Overall still no desire to PMO, but the frustrating part is not having the satisfaction when I want it. The desire for satisfaction is constant. Brain fog gets thick at times, especially later in the day. Definitely flatline, my girl was touching on me last night, and no response. Now I don't know if this a coincidence or withdrawal, but I am very sick! Tight chest, and a cough that could wake the dead. I'm very nauseous, only being able to eat watermelon, and tapioca. I also have a fever of 102. Reason I believe it's withdrawal, when I do get this sick it only last 24 hours, I've been sick for three days now. If this is from withdrawl, I think we all deserve a "I'm a total bad ass" card! My biggest challenge right now is not the PMO, but MO. Problem being I know it'll be a let down without that visual stimulation from P.

It could be withdrawal symptoms. Nobody can say for sure. Stay strong and keep going. You can go only up from here.

Day 12, no PMO
Day 5 no MO
I've been reading about all of the benefits from not MO, and it makes me very excited. I'm actually looking forward to a wet dream! Had a great afternoon with my girlfriend yesterday, it worked fairly well, but not perfect. I forgot what an amazing feeling touching a woman could induce. She wanted to give me an O, but I declined. How amazing would it be to wire my brain to just enjoy the intimacy, and not even care about the O. Still very sick, still very tired and foggy, but very optimistic. Optimistic about more than just kicking this habit. my fitness; I looked in the mirror yesterday, and for the first time in 5 years I liked what I saw. I've sculpted myself a nice body. My music; I've turned myself into a phenomenal DJ, honed my skills as a sound engineer, and my partner's producing skill have improved ten fold! My confidence is coming back, and I'm regaining my cockiness. Descendant of Apollo LMAO! That my catch phrase on the cloudcast I host "From the DJ booth, descendant of Apollo, this is Elliot".

Day 14 no PMO
Day 7 no MO
From what I read, day seven without without an orgasm was suppose so see a huge spike in testosterone. I guess maybe I though my dick was going to send up a testosterone fueled flair, causing women to line up from miles just to touch it. Was really just hoping to see a noticeable difference in myself today.
