New to this forum, decided to write a post as like everyone else all out stories are different but the goal is the same.
I?m 30 years old, been using P since I was early teens until 17/18 when I dated a girl for 5 years and then went on to have multiple one night stands with girls I knew after that until 7 years ago when everything dried up for some reason. So over the last 7 years I?ve PMO?d because I?ve been single and didn?t think of it doing any harm.....like most of us!
This year even with COVID I managed to meet the most incredible women ever, only for you know what to happen, I could only muster 50-60% erections. I don?t know if it was performance anxiety as she was very up front about how she wanted things and put a lot of pressure on my to perform even though I?d said to her I?ve been on my own for 7 years so I?d appreciate some time to get comfortable about things. Anyway things didn?t work out and we parted ways and have stayed friends.
This got me thinking very hard about my life and what had gone wrong for me to ruin what could have possibly been the one for me. I decided to quit smoking and also stop weed as well which I had dabbled with on and off all my life, some years I?d have breaks but it never had an effect on me when I was in a relationship previously. I also changed my diet and got back into running and weightlifting. I currently run 5km everyday after work and weight lift when the gyms are open! Thank god they reopen again tomorrow in the UK.
So during my thinking stage and already feeling low/depressed due to isolation and living on my own and obviously the relationship not working as hoped, plus quitting smoking, I then stumbled upon YBOP and Gabe Deem on YouTube. This got me thinking about my P use and whether I was suffering with PIED. I tend to not have any issue on my own without P and my MW has returned since I quit smoking. My P use started with normal vanilla stuff, then I went to just watching GG vids and cam sites. Then mostly over the last couple of years I have been using OF and getting pics from girls I know rather than using P sites.
I?ve got it in my head that I have PIED now which is playing with my head a bit as I can?t stop reading articles and forums. I have no urge to watch P at all since I said no more to try and continue improving my life.
If any guys who have rebooted or can relate to anything from my story I?d appreciate some feedback/tips.
Thanks in advance Ox
