I think its time to deal with the issue

[DAL]

This is my fist time on a forum, such as this and I don’t usually immerse myself in this style (online forums) of self help. After looking into ReebotNation, I now have an understanding and idea of what is actually happening to me and I believe in the concept and what is occurring within modern society and the ultra easy access to sexual content on the internet.

I consider my self a strong and successful person. My professional, private and family life is vey good and take care of my physical, mental and emotional health. I typically eat properly, hydrate and get enough sleep. I (usually) consume small to moderate amounts alcohol and I don’t smoke. I have a high level of physical fitness is very good and my level of conditioning it’s much higher then average. Now that I’m done talking about the good stuff, here’s my problem the reason why I’m here is because I have porn induced ED. The porn induced ED has caused a great hardship in my relationship with my wife. This has a snowball effect and has cause obvious issues and problems within our relationship.
I want to work on the problem and find a solution.
After realizing what is happening to my brain and how the process of the super stimulating internet porn sites have altered my thought process and how I engage and react sexually with my wife. I understand that I need help to fix it. This also is incredibly difficult for me to admit. This is something that has made me feel broken over the past 2 years. I have tried different medical and natural remedies and nothing has altered what is happening. After finding RebootNation I have realized the problem and understand what is happening with my brain. I have reviewed past porn habits and tendencies and have realized that it has a great effect on my life. It has changed my view point on desire, expectation and belief in what intimacy actually is.
I can’t really give a timeline as to when and how started to use internet porn, by I can say it has been a part of my regular sexual activity since I was a young adult.In conjunction with regular intimacy with my wife (who does not agree or like porn).

While younger I was able to maintain a strong and healthy libedo and a very active sex life. I didn’t see the use of porn as a problem. I felt it use was limited and “normal”. It didn’t alter my lifestyle and It didn’t interfere with my regular life routine.
But things changed about 2 years ago and it hit me like a tone of bricks. The ED just started, almost instantly. I couldn’t maintain and erection while being intimate with my wife and sometimes couldn’t even start to get an erection. Then if I was able to have an erection while being intimate I would be have a premature ejaculation. I was very confused. At first I believed it was from stresses with the new standards of lockdowns and Covid. Then added in the added stress of schools closed down and online learning children at home. I spoke to my Doctor and did some test and and everything came back normal. I was told it was something that will work itself out and given a script for Cialis...Well it didn’t work itself out.

I have now realized that this was a product of porn usage the super stimulating nature of the the interment porn sites. Also, I hid the usage from my wife (which is an issue in itself). After reflection on my situation it is clear that it’s use has altered my libedo and I now have porn induced ED. As I have become older I am seeing the effects of what is occurring and currently struggle regularly with this issue.

This is now the start of my reboot and I am committed to this journey.

Hello!
It doesnt matter how strong and successful you think you are, porn addiction doesnt discriminate. It doenst give a fuck about how much you can lift, how many Kale salads you eat (is that still a thing? kale salad?), or how much your salary is. Its given you a useless, floppy cock and a sexually dissatisfied wife.
Dont let it get any worse!
First of all, what are your triggers for PMOing? I mean, obviously theres the need your brain has for that spike of dopamine, but if you analyse it deeper you may find there is a pattern; a specific time of day, an image that comes to mind or that you see somewhere, certain emotional states such as depression (PMO causes this, by the way), maybe a bad day at work (causes that, too) or feeling lazy or bored. When you can isolte these triggers you can then stop the urges before they get a chance to take hold.
Have you tried quitting in the past? Whats your record number of days of not fapping yourself?
Has the porn you watched been progressively more extreme or just plain weird? (scat, fart porn, fucking animals, inserting household items into various orifices, animated porn featuring classic Disney characters, etc you get what i mean).
Are you able to get erections at all without any visual stimuli? What percentage of erect-ness would you say?
Stick around this forum and ask any questions! This has been a life saver for many people, myself included! Youll get the help you need, and youll get your dick back.
