Anxious about recovery

I went 70 days roughly no PMO, then masturbated twice on that weekend. Then went thru the week no PMO, then twice again the next weekend, since then I’ve been in a hard flatline after each time I masturbate. I haven’t watched porn in around 6 months I would say. I honestly feel like I’m never going to recover, any advice please? Has anyone been in similar position? Thankyou

Seems like there is something different than PMO that is making you have problems... For how long have you been dealing with ED issues?

so you havnt watched porn in six months? then after jerking it twice youre flatlining?
its quite normal to feel a loss of interest in sexual things after jerking off. see how it goes for a while. is it always like this?

Maybe even longer since I last watched porn. It has been so long. And literally I will go no PMO and get my erections back and MW and then masturbate using only my imagination and then it’s a hard flatline. Which I’m still in

Hey man I can give my opinion since I may be suffering soemthing similar. Basically I have a very low sex drive rn after 2 months reboot, I’m not sure if I am in a flatline because I’m not really depressed or have some of the other symptoms people say they have but all Ik is that I have a low sex drive all the time and never really horny. I tried to masturbate after 1 month on my reboot and it was difficult to get hard really and my PE wouldn’t help since I was so sensitive now. It was really crushing since I thought I would atleast see some improvement. HOWEVERRRRRRR don’t get discouraged just yet. I think the major test is when you’re with a girl. I have a gf of over a year and everytime we just kiss now I get 100% erect, and it’s now staying erect for atleast a few min which I can’t remember the last time that happened. So basically my advice would be is to stay positive, try finding someone to rewire with, not someone that your just with for one night, someone you actually care for and enjoy spending time with, then from there see how your body reacts and if you see more improvements.

Hi mare thanks for message. With your situation I think you have something to really look forward too as you can get erect. I think with time you’ll be able to maintain it, with me however it’s just a cycle of no PMO, feel great, masturbate, then flatline & repeat. It feels like I’ll never recover
 
i would say around 18 months now. Everytime I do no PMO I get my erections back and MW and then masturbate without Porn just imagination and I am back into flatline again fkr age
I understand, many people are in a similar situation but it's not much of a problem as it can seem. How did the issues start?

thats quite a while, but remember everyone reboots differently. sounds like you just need more time, maybe in another six months

I think being alone here away from family and friends and not meeting any girls and getting addicted to mastuebating and porn. I think I first realised beginning of 2020. I got it so fast. Would be 3-4 years ago I last had successful sex and I’m 22 now.

So I should just do it totally no PMO, but until when? At what point do I start to have sex with the girl im seeing again?

No PMO forever...
Take a good few months to work on yourself and when your feeling nearly ready or ready then go for her...

Maybe you’re right mate. Do you think I should try my best to not masturbate at all during this time?
well, if you feel like it. try it and see how you feel. if youre not doing hard mode theres nothing wrong with a "classic wank" (thats wanking to your imagination, not pixels)

So far everytime I have masturbated I just flatline after, so I am getting frustrated that I’m never gonna recover
