Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I wanted to come here to start my new journey. My background is I was shown porn when I was 8yrs old but never really looked at it until I was around the age of 18. I normally would PMO to it here and there. I had girlfriends, long relationships, and others short. I had a lot of sex in my past. So through my 20s I would pmo whenever I had a chance but wasn’t addicted like I had to have it. It was normally when I was bored or before bed. The past two years I had successful sex with my gf nonstop and never had issues. My issues started to occur around March when I couldn’t really get hard with my gf. I freaked out and she got bothered because she though it was her which obviously wasn’t. After later that night we had sex three times which was successful. Then later on I would have issues again but still managed to have sex after but then I would have PE. I stopped porn right I away since I felt it was my issue. Then I would get awesome erections after and felt good again.
The 1st of May I woke up feeling different like never before, I felt unmotivated, helpless, depressed, lots of anxiety, and suicidal. I got help right away with mental health. I didn’t know giving up porn would give me withdrawals. I eventually learned I was in a flatline because I felt my sexual energy was gone. I didn’t have morning wood or any erection until two weeks. Then I started to get them more but still felt no sexual energy later around 20 days I managed to get turned on by my gf and had sex twice but after I couldn’t go a third round because I wouldn’t get it up.
To this day I have gone without pmo or mo. I haven’t watched porn and definitely don’t plan on ever relapsing because I wanna quit for good. My emotional symptoms have improved. The anxiety has a little bit but I get it because of the worry this is gonna be forever which I know isn’t just the amount of time it will take.
Now my questions are, Am I still in a flatline low libido even I if have erections with my gf not as hard but enough to penetrate and do I have PIED? Kissing my gf and grabbing her get me aroused. I also want to ask if sex is okay in a flatline? I read that sex keeps people in flatline for months or years. I can abstain for sure if that’s the only way to get cured. Thank you
