Started to young and now struggling

Hi everyone, first time posting on this forum here and just wanted to let a few things off my chest.

I got introduced to porn at the age of 8. I had older friends at that time that introduced me to it. By the time I hit grade 4 I was watching porn at least everyday, I didn’t even know what masturbation was at that time. During high school I would say my porn addiction was at its worst. I remember days that I would lock myself in a room and go on a porn binge for 8 hours.

The types of porn I viewed also got worse over time. It went from vanilla, to rough, to hardcore anal and then all the way up to transsexual and sometimes beastiality. Even though it got progressively worse I never thought I had a problem. Until I got into my first relationship.

It was my first year uni when I met my current gf. The first time we tried having sex we were drunk so I blamed it on the alcohol. And then I blamed it on something else. It took me 6 months for me to realize that porn was the problem. And when I did I tried quitting but kept failing. My gf found out that porn is the problem too so she would regularly ask to make sure that I’m not watching it, but I would just lie straight through my teeth. I lied for about a year straight. I just couldn’t quit it the urges were too strong.
Until I got caught hard. My gf saw all the links and how bad my porn view habits were. That was my rock bottom.

Its been about 5 months since Last watched porn. My gf is still with me even though we went through a really hard time in our relationship because of me.

My ED hasn’t gotten much better. Actually sometimes it’s good most of the time its not. I’m struggling with not masturbating tho. Longest I’ve been without masturbating is about a week and a half. Anyone got any tips as to how I can make my ED finally go away I’m starting to lose hope

Dude ... masturbation is just like porn, I'm sure you have erotic fantasies while you masturbate. No porn, no masturbation and no sex and no orgasm for many months ahead if you at least want a chance to heal !!!

the only way to make your ED go away is to rewire your brain. stop ALL porn consumption and porn substitutes right now. you can see the extent to which it has fucked your brain over; the compulsive viewing, the gradual increase in depravity (anyone who gets off to beastiality is pretty far down the rabbit hole for sure!), and now to your current case of the floppies.
you can undo all of this by doing a reboot. it will recover the normal functioning of your neuropathways and libido. youll be suprised at just how effective it is!
having said that, though, it is an addiction like any other so going cold turkey is not so easy for the first few weeks or so. but by setting yourself small goals, and being realistic you can make it just fine.

The way you worded this gave me hope man. I constantly worry that rebooting isn't going to work and that I'm fucked for life, but that is not the case! I am only 12 days in and I need to be more patient.

you certainly arent fucked for life! it does work and when you start to see it working, as you may have done at 2 months, you get so much more motivated to continue. yeah just try to ride out the worst of the withdrawal symptoms, they get better and its actually a sign that the reboot is working.

Thank you, this is actually motivating me a lot. I have one question. Is having sex while rebooting okay or do I have to stop everything cold Turkey?

It’s like Fappy-Sama said, the first weeks will the most difficult
I’m at day 62/63 and the first three weeks were crazy
I hadn’t a libido, my testosterone and dopamine level dropped to the lowest
After that my hole body and mind went crazy
Now after two months… I’m living easygoing
I’m in a second flatline but I feel, that is a short episode
(My first flatline was 40 days long 😅)

All what you have to do is be patient and talk about everything to your girl and your reboot is just a short step

If you wanna talk, DM me

well thats also part of the process you see. the important thing is to learn from it and identify exactly what caused the relapse.
also sex when rebooting is fine imo, i did it and it helped a lot. just dont rush into it.

I don't think i could even have sex if i wanted to currently because i can't get it up for a girl in real life LOL

best thing is to not even think about sex if possible. rewiring your brain has little to do with sex, there are just so many more benefits to be gained from it than just sexual things
