Hello, I'm new here, this is my first post after a week lurking through the site.
I'm 42 and I'm Italian, so sorry in advance for the mistakes that I'll do in my writing.
"Why hard only at porn"
That's what I googled after noticing that when watching porn I got hard in a couple of seconds, while my performance in bedroom was being very sluggish in a year or so, to the point that having sex has become a pain.
Soon I discovered Gary Wilsons TED talk, YBOP, and finally this forum. Gabe's energy gave me a lot of motivation to start this journey, he's really a tough guy!
When I read the typical symptoms of porn addiction and that there was a way to undo everything I was like, mamma mia! I've solved all my problems! I'll become a new man!
So, this happened on Jan 19th, now I'm at day 6 of reboot in hard mode. So far so good, I'm feeling super positive.
My P consumption over the last year has been quite regular. I noticed it was often difficult to M with no P and I thought that could be related to my ageing. I've had periods with much higher consumption in the past, like 15 years ago (the dawn of fast internet) I remember being wake until 4am sometimes, and super zombie the next day. I developed social anxiety, lack of concentration and occasionally ED and DE.
Back to today, I'm waiting for the flatline to hit. MWs are there (about 50% of power), my mood is way better than it was before starting.
I'm not sure what you guys mean with no libido. My dick is indeed unresponsive and lifeless (except at night), but that should not be a surprise, as long as P has been taken out of the way and it was (and still is) the only reliable way to make it work.
Is there a test to understand if I'm in a flatline?
Cheers!
