Dear Rebootnation,
I've been reading through the website and these forums for about about three months, and I feel now is a good time to engage the community. I am a 20 y/o straight male that's been struggling with the same problems as you all. I used to masturbate 2-3 times daily to a foot fetish I had. This seemed to affect my confidence and social life so for the past year or so I've cut back drastically on the amount of masturbation. I first started the process masturbating to non-fetish porn, which seemed to help a bit. I would "relapse" back to to the fetish once in a great while. I would say around three months ago I decided to cut out all masturbation, I've gone back to back to back months without masturbation, then would masturbate once due to symptoms I was experiencing. (Strange feeling after urination, wet dreams, pain) then these symptoms would go away for about a month. So I've masturbated maybe 4 times in three months. I feel extraordinary, I am in the best shape of my life and I can talk to girls with ease. I am doing well in school and have a job that I've dreamed of. I still have a few concerns I'm hoping someone can advise me on though
1: I still am more turned on by the fetish than the real thing (I know I shouldn't have, but I looked at the fetish approx 2 weeks ago)
2: I tried having sex with my partner and I did become erect without touch, and even more with touch but when I tried putting a condom on I went soft.
3: Is it too early for sex? I feel like I've been rebooting for almost a year. Again, I feel really good, what gives?
4: I have Viagra, would you suggest trying some considering my stage in the reboot process?
Thanks for reading,
Andrew
