I am well over a month in with no PM, though I have probably had maybe 4-5 orgasms through intercourse with my wife during this time. I get the feeling that for me, just looking at a good looking woman, especially my wife who likes to walk around our upstairs naked, is enough for my brain to get some serious doses of dopamine. I don't know too much about the science of all of this, and I am unclear if seeing her naked pretty much every day, is slowing me down, but it definitely makes me horny. I tried to explain what I am doing to my wife, who does not really know too much about my history with Porn use-age. She knows I have used it, though not how much. I have tried to explain basically that I am attempting to quit masturbating all-together though, and she thinks this is a good idea.
Some things I have noticed so far:
-Dreams - I find myself remembering my dreams more often, which is unusual for me. They also often seem to have some sexual content in them and seem to be more vivid.
-More musical - This will sound strange, but it is also the truth. I don't quite know if this is just a happy side effect of me feeling better about myself, or if there is something at work in my biology. I play guitar/banjo in a number of bands, and I can say, that I am playing perhaps the best I have ever played of late. Seriously, every jam is pure joy for me the past few weeks. This alone has more than solidified me on my path.
-More confident - Though not always true, I have noticed this as well. In general, I feel less anxiety in situations where I historically would feel anxiety otherwise.
