Hi my brothers, this is my first post here so before I jump into the question I should give a little quick background.
I discovered PMO when I was 10 years old and along came all the problems like extreme social anxiety, poor libido, low self-esteem, extreme objectification of women, extreme depression at some moments of my life, unhappiness, indifference to life, etc, etc you guys know the deal. Never had a girlfriend until I was 24 and very quickly I found out I had PIED. The extreme shame of not being able to perform forced me to realize that whatching P and PMO surely were the culprits and I started my jourey of recovery and healing.
After much struggle, now I'm 28 and finally making real progress, finally I can say I have completed 40 days without MO (longest streak since ever)!!! and no P for more than 5 months wich is the most amazing progress so far and I'm 100% determined to complete the 90 days mark and keep going. I am feeling many of the benefits many guys here speak off. More confidence, waaaay more energy, less anxiety, life is starting to become meaningfull, and the best is confidence to talk to girls
which brings me to my question that's been bothering me a lot. Would it be safe to start dating girls right now? If I get a girlfriend I'm afraid that my PIED will still be there. Have you guys had the same issue? I've been talking to some girls on tinder and the arousal is there, I get erections talking to girls but I don't know if that's steel my addiction to interacting with the opposite sex through a screen.
I would much appreciate any comment on this and if you guys want me to elaborate more or help you in any way I'd love to.
