lte - Thanks for your perspective and congratulations on your accomplishment.
I want to comment on one aspect of your post - when I first started this reboot, I thought there was nothing wrong with masterbation and I could continue through my reboot. I have changed my opinion on that after completing my 120 days with our PMO or MO (I was encouraged by William to go this route and took his advice). I have found that real sex is so much better now that I do not masterbate. I think that masterbation dilutes our sexual energy to the point where it detracts from real physical and emotional intimacy. I do not have sex often (maybe once per month) but I also have no problem resiting masterbation in between and when sex does happen, I am so focused on enjoying it and making it special that it is so much better than it used to be. I have decided that no mastermation is now my permanent lifestyle. And I am much happier for it!
