50 days into rebooting and progress is still good. All I have to do during karezza to avoid O, is slow down, breath deeply and relax. I'm still getting used to the "Mr Hardcock" experience, a huge change from my previous sexual experience going all the way back to adolescence. Making love without O has become so enjoyable, that I feel very satisfied, almost like I had one. It takes about an hour, to get that feeling, but my wife and I have such a great time, no one is concerned about it.
I always had at least one O a day. I thought that was healthy sexual functioning. If that were true I wouldn't be so much more virile and sexually alive now. Now at this late stage in my life, Im amazed at the verility that results from no O. My wife is happy with the change, and very turned on. This profound change is a lot to process. I'm actually a little afraid to O, because I don't want to jinx it.
I'm sticking with the reboot until I feel like I'm on solid ground, and until I have learned how much my sexual energy will continue to increase. The more good sex and intimacy I have with my wife, the more my brain is healing from addiction and the compulsion to O.
I have no interest in looking at porn. I'm not going to fool myself into thinking it's no longer a danger. A heroine addict has to respect the danger of the drug, to stay clean, and so do I. This reboot has taught me a few things that are helping me heal my addiction. The sex is better when I'm so virile, I get to be real and honest with my wife, overall energy and engagement with people and my responsibilities has improved. The reboot comes with the support of a community of people going through the same thing, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are guidelines and indicators of progress.
