I need some advice from anyone who has taken a long time to recover.
I'm on Day 224 of my reboot. I haven't looked at anything pornographic, nor fantasised for the whole time. I have masturbated 5 times over this period (the longest gap between masturbation has been 70 days).
I don't feel like I'm recovering. I am getting some morning erections but my libido is at an absolute zero. In fact, the thought of becoming intimate with my partner actually makes me feel ill. It's a similar situation to when you've eaten too much of a particular kind of food and the thought of another piece makes you feel ill. Has anyone else experienced this? I know I need to rewire with my partner but I really feel an aversion to sexual contact at the moment. This is soul destroying. My partner is an amazing woman. She's very attractive, but the though of initiating anything sexual just makes me feel sick.
I'm not a young man. I had plenty of sexual experience before I got addicted to porn and masturbation (edging in particular).
I'm coming up for 8 months without porn and I'm starting to lose hope. I know Gabe took a year and a half to fully recover, so I just have to dig in and keep going. I'm just curious if anyone else has had similar symptoms (feeling sick at the thought of sex) and recovering after a long reboot.
Thanks.
