Hi,
I'm on day 43 of my 2nd reboot to try and overcome my PIED and just have a few questions and I wondered if some people could give me some advice about what is acceptable during a reboot.
Little bit of backstory:
Started MO'ing regularly at maybe 15 and PMO'ing about 17.
First noticed PIED when fooling around with some girls at 18, no chance of sex anyway was just 2nd/3rd base messing around.
PIED first chance to lose virginity with my current girl at 18.
Current girlfriend studying abroad until Dec 27th
2nd attempt at rebooting
Gone cold turkey
Flatlining PRETTY HARD since week 1 (all symptoms)
Had some wet dreams about week 3
Noticed night erections sometimes raging wake me up
Tiny bit of improvement with morning wood, sporadic and inconsistent throughout at the moment though.[/list]
OKAY, now onto my questions:
A) Ok so my girl is totally supporting me through all this, i've had all the medical tests done and I know this is it. She is actually studying abroad until the end of December. My question is does Skyping count in any way as a relapse? Every time we skype talk is purely conversational, she is always fully clothed (she doesnt even get changed on camera anymore haha) and obviously I never touch my dick when we are talking. I have cut out pretty much all images online in an attempt to really cold turkey it but is skyping cheating the system? Like I said I obviously find her attractive but she is always fully clothed when we are skyping and i never get aroused or try to because we are just talking. Could this be seen as a relapse because its still a girl on the screen?
B) Ok so its day 43 and as ive been flatlining HARD i decided to test my dick a little this morning when I woke up. I woke up with no morning wood and decided to give a very light massage to the nutsack and a few very light strokes, not like masturbating, literally just a few strokes. after about 30 seconds of focusing on the touch i had a rock hard boner that i havent had in years, i genuinely havent had a boner that points up to the sky like that since I was about 15. It disappeared a couple of minutes after I left it alone. I know im obviously not cured and I am going to persevere with no PMO until day 150 or so when my girl is back and I can try to rewire but was that a relapse? like i said there was no thought, no orgasm, not even real masturbation, just light strokes. There was a tiny chaser effect not for porn but I was like it would feel good to jack it right now, that really was it though it passed in like a minute. Does that count as a relapse?
sorry if these questions seem silly but i would seriously appreciate any help.
day 43 - lets keep fucking going!
