4 more days til 90

[maxee525]

Hey all,
I have 4 more days til my 90 days.  I gave up porn on August 31,2014. I was with a girl on September 15, 2014 and finished off sex with with masturbation. I didn't know at the time that non-porn masturbation wasn't allowed either. Anyhow, I have not masturbated since then.  I was also getting the random sex fantasies that would pop into my head from past girlfriends or girls that I currently know and want to sleep with. I have also noticed that if I can catch myself before those fantasies start and clear my head that my morning erections seem to be a tad harder as well.

Anyhow, I do sometimes get morning wood, and I have noticed that my morning erections seem to have gotten a bit harder lately, but still nothing I'm celebrating over.  The fear of eternal celibacy hovers over my anxiety-ridden mind like white on rice.  Will this ever end for me? Who knows.

If anyone knows anything about whether or not morning erections are a litmus test or not, let me know. 

There is a Seinfeld episode where George gives up having sex and ends up learning Portugese.  I laugh about that episode and sometimes think that maybe I should learn a foreign language or de-code the human genome again or something.

Congrats on getting to 90 days  (almost). Amazing.

I hear you brother. There is a lot of advice that what you do with your dick isn't the measure of a man, and I agree there are far more important things we can all achieve, but a healthy sex life is why a lot of us are here. Quite a powerful motivator to stay the course isn't it.

Not sure about how important morning wood is. I'm starting to get great wood each morning but it is less if I find myself fantasising the day before. I just can't stop those sex thoughts coming into my head and get into this catatonic state without even noticing it. When I come too I slap myself about a few times, return to what I was doing and then find myself in a catatonic state again fantasising only a few minutes later. Really annoying. Not sure what to do about that.

Good luck with Portuguese. I don't think it matters what you do, just find something new to stimulate your mind. I took up dancing (takes me out of my comfort zone), doubled my gym efforts and paddle a bit as well, all in the name of keeping busy. Maybe George suffered PIED?

Nearly there mate! Resist that urge to thrash yourself!

I take it you're about to cross the finishing line just now, aren't you? I, sir, tip my hat to you! ,-)
Regarding morning wood and such - don't hang it too high. Sometimes you have erections while you're fast asleep thus not noticing them. I don't think they constitute an appropriate test - that should be done in the suitable erotic environment. But please, refrain from putting an enormous amount of pressure on yourself to perform. Start gently.
And keep us current!

Hey man, don't fret too much! You really do sound like you are making great progress. The morning wood you are getting is a fantastic sign of recovery, and you are deep into a no orgasm run (which is also amazing). You will get over this. For us younger, it just takes a little longer. Keep dedicated to the issue, and go out and try some new stuff. That seriously helps rebooting. Try a new workout routine, learn Portugeuse ()...just do whatever interests you! Taking your mind off the problem will make you feel a lot better.
