Merry Christmas everyone!
While all of you had a nice Christmas, I will tell you how it went for me.
So I have been dating this girl for a year now. Every time we wanted to have sex, it wouldn't get up. I blamed it on performance anxiety or "oh I didn't get enough sleep". But last night my girlfriend was super turned on and I felt helpless. This really hurt her and her. I am super blessed to have a girlfriend who actually listens and understands that its okay to not get a boner. But she was unaware that all this is caused because I consume porn on the daily basis.
TODAY I opened up to her and she still was super understanding and offered to help me through this. I haven't had sex for 2 years now and I really want to get back and feel good and have sex. I get a boner when I watch porn but not when my girl touches me or tries to turn me on. Today is Dec 25, 2022. My birthday is on Sep 19, I have 9 months I want to recover from this really bad.
Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes to reboot? I have tried to quit porn and masturbation and my max streak was 1 month but this time I am willing to extend it for a long. I want to change.
Today marks DAY 1 and I will come back every day to write about my day and how I went to keep myself accountable. Feel free to drop your journal in the thread. An accountable partner is a must!
Oh and a little about me, I am 23 years old and I have been watching porn since 13-15 years old (don't quite remember when I started). I have been in multiple relationships until age 21 and I have had sex a lot. But only lately I am facing ED. I hope this is since I have conditioned my brain to porn and can be fixed.
See you tomorrow.
