[LookingForChange]

I am new to this site. I just posted in one of the other forums but thought I would also post in this one due to my age (50).
I am feeling this is the right move for me as I have been depending on porn for too long to give me pleasure. I wouldn't say that I was watching it all day but I definitely was relying on it to get off in the evenings.  That would range in length. Sometimes quick sessions, sometimes hours trying to find the right porn.  I am encouraged by the number of people on here who are working hard to stay focused. When I watched that video on the science of the brain I was shocked as it was describing me. I was even looking for more aggressive forms of porn to satisfy me but couldn't find anything! My ED is off and on but I attributed it to my age. I am 50 after all! My doc was quick to hand me Viagra and cialisis which have worked the few times that I used them. I wasn't keen on using them though. I wanted my doc to test testosterone levels which he said were in normal range. It all left me depressed but now after finding this site I am left feeling a little more hopeful. I am keeping busy to take my mind off matters. I am hoping for positive change.

Funny thing is no one asked about PMO or MO when I went to have myself checked out. I went to a men's clinic that specialized in ED. I was given an injection in the penis that gave me a raging hardon. It he told me my penis worked and would respond to drugs he could prescribe. I tried the viagra and also some injectables. It sure worked but made it hard to cum while having sex.
  I them went to a dr that is in the low T field, was tested and told my T levels were high. So no dugs were required... I had told them I had loss interest in working out  etc. again no,one asked about frequency of masturbation.  I now realize I was wasting a lot of time and energy searching for the right porn while edging the hours away. I am soon t be sixty five and have to say not jerking off have improved my sex life and also my physical conditioning. Been almost 120 days so far,and so far so good.

Thanks for sharing your story Jerry! I am at day 2. Lol I have a long way to go. At what point did you finally have sex? After the 90 day mark? Wondering if I should avoid any type of dating at all. Perhaps if I do I will state that I am looking for friendship only for the moment.

Hello  guys, I too have been hooked on high speed porn. My dr. Has given me viagra,  and cialis.  They worked  good for a while, but after a while they stopped. The funny thing  was that I never  stopped  porn. Porn a horrible  addiction.  I've  been pmo free for 17 days. I can't  tell you guys what a difference  17 days has made
EVERYTHING about my life us improving, I'm not even kidding,  things are going so good, and getting  better everyday  in pmo free. Stay strong brothers

I am so happy for you Jaystock! Keep it up! ;-) You are an inspiration not only because you are ahead of me on the count but also because you have such a great attitude!

Hey,
Welcome to the forum-
I would lay off the dating scene for a while.
It's tough to meet someone new only for her to discover
you can't get it up.
There will be no bigger boost of confidence than the
day that you could start having sex regularly.
I can't promise that if you commit yourself that
the raging boner you had when you were a younger
man will return. But at least you'll get hard enough
to handle your biz  8)

Dr's and pharmaceutical companies don't make any money off of us if they tell us to just stop PMO. That's free! Pills and injections are a gold mine to them, so obviously it's in their best interest to avoid asking about porn or masturbation and advising against it. I also had an injectible situation that wouldn't go down and it was actually pretty awful experience.

I was encouraged by your success story. I'm 49 and on day 42 of no PMO. I'm very worried about ED and really hoping this will help me out. So far not too much change--mostly dealing with flatline. But I realize I still need to put in some more time. I'm just anxious for progress. 42 days seems like a long time! When did you start noticing your erections coming back? Feel free to direct message me if you like. Thanks!!
