This is my first time ever participating in any kind of forum.
I came across this site and I realized that I belong here.
I am an older guy, currently 50. For the last decade or so I have been having
some problems with erections. I figured that it was just my getting older.
When I mentioned it to my doctor, he gave me Cialis and Viagra to try. They did
work to a degree. It's too bad doctors are not aware of PIED or maybe they are but want to
keep the drug business alive.
Today, I came across the sites YBOP and RN and I started watching Gabe's video and
the brain science around it. It all hit home for me. I had been M and achieving O for
most of my life when watching porn. For some reason, I just figured that everyone did this. Being partnerless was also a rationale for me. I didn't have a partner so therefore porn would be an adequate substitute. I didn't realize the "firing nerves were strongly wiring" to porn creating a dependency on porn for pleasure.
I also noticed that I was watching more and more types of aggressive porn. It was like I couldn't
find enough to satisfy me. I guess these were the dopamine rushes at play.
When I read up on the information at this site, it gave me hope. I actually feel quite excited about it all.
I am setting a 90 day limit. This is day 1. I have just deleted all the porn sites I had bookmarked on my computer. I think I had about 15! I hope I can go the distance without any porn. I am looking forward to returning to a more adjusted and active person who doesn't waste time searching for porn. Wish me luck!
Would love to find some people to chat with on an ongoing basis for encouragement.
