Age 27 - my reboot

Hi everybody,

I decided to reboot because my sexual life has been really bad in the past years, I have a lot of problems of ED and of lack of sexual desire.

Here it is my background.
When I started masturbating (around 11 or 12 yo) I wasn't using porn. It was not so easy to find it, internet was slow and the free sites didn't exist. I remember that when I was around 14 or 15 I was staying up until late night to watch erotic shows like "Playboy late night" and getting incredibly aroused just watching some boobs or a pussy. When I was around 16, a friend of mine gave me a CD with some porn videos. It was so arousing to me, I was watching the videos over and over againg and always getting very aroused.
Then I had a relationship with a girl, from 16 to 18, and sex with her was really great. No issues at all.
But, when we broke up, things started changing a lot. I have been almost 3 years single, without having sex. In the meanwhile, online porn spread enormously, and I started using it regularly. While in the past I could get aroused even watching the same video 20 times, I started looking for new videos every time. I also noticed an excalation: I wasn't finding plain sex so arousing anymore, I started looking for harder and "weirder" sex.
After that period, from my 21s till now, I had three girflriends and several one night stands. Almost all the one night stands I didn't manage to have an erection, or I lost it immediately. With the girlfriends, I always had issues the first times, getting a bit better later. But still, failing some times, and, expecially, not being so aroused. I've even noticed that sometimes I was having sex while thinking to some porn videos I watched the day before. And it was absolutely impossible to have two consecutive intercourses.
I also dropped a lot of opportunities of sleeping with a girl because I was sure I would have failed. For example, I was making out with a girl at a party, could invite her in my place, but didn't do it because I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything.
I've talked to a doctor. He told me that I just have a sexual performance anxiety and he gave me viagra. But this is just a temporary workaround, that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want just to get an hard erection, I want do discover the pleasure of sex again.

That's why I decided to reboot. Today, it's exactely 22 days without PMO. How do I feel?
Well, sometimes I get morning woods - but not every day. Sometimes they were really hard, tho. For the rest, anyway, I didn't notice big changments for what concerns my erection.
The best thing is that I've noticed a different attitute toward girls. I feel more likely to talk to them, more open, more nice. And I feel that girls are more attractive. That makes me think that I'm going in the right direction and motivates me to keep on doing that.

It's my 27th day without PMO.
For the moment, abstaining is quite easy, much more than what I expected.
Yesterday I was feeling a bit depressed. But it happens frequently on Sunday, my girlfriend broke up with me a couple of months ago and I feel that my Sundays are a bit lonely.
I also feel a bit crappy physically, maybe I'm a bit sick; I also got injured last Saturday and my neck and back hurt. That could explain why I'm in a bad mood and not very motivated for meeting people. However, tonight I'm going to have dinner with a Korean girl, but I'm not interested in her.  This weekend I'm going to Poland, I've really big hopes, I have a friend there that I really like and I think I have some possibilities with her. I hope I'll feel good.

In these 27 days I didn't have wet dreams, but in the last 4 nights I dreamed 3 times about making out with girls. I hope it is a good signal, since it didn't happen to me for a long while.

35 days now. So far, it's really easy to resist to PMO. Obviously sometimes I'm tempted, but I just need to think to all the issues I had in the last years to change my mind and convince me that it'd be a really bad idea.

I think that something is changing. Almost every night I dream of girls (making out, or more), and almost every morning I have erections. Last Sunday on a plane I had a spontaneous erection. Maybe it's not related to my reboot, but I didn't have that for a really long while - so I think is a good signal.
