Hello all! I am creating this journal as a reminder of where I am, have been, and will go! Here is my story!
I'm 33 and have watched "P" (high speed) since about age 19. I truly did not realize what I was doing to myself. I consider myself a handsome, educated, and fairly sociable person. During my 20s I was in the military. I traveled the world and had a lot of sex. I had maybe 4 episodes where I couldn't get it up. I thought it was PA and just moved on. Then in my late 20s I got into a relationship. I was great in the beginning and I was still regularly using porn. I actually had DE for about 4 years before this moment. I remember I actually would brag like "I could go forever" not knowing that this was i illness! Anyways, I continue in this relationship and I start having several episodes where I have ED. I begin to freak out and like most people I have read on here began thinking it was low testosterone. I am a pretty spiritual guy, so one night after trying to have sex with my gf, I feel horrible! I have no desire to have sex with her, but i know I wanted to (if that makes sense). Like I had no libido, but I really wanted to please her! I prayed to God to show me what was wrong with me. I'm a personal trainer, I work out ALOT! So I couldn't accept something was "physically" wrong with me. Then one day I found Gabes video on YouTube! Gabe, God bless you brother! You gave me hope! I had just MO'd last Friday and found the video sat. I knew that when I did MO I was erect, no problem. But when with my lady, no workie! Lol. So I knew instantly I had PIED. I have always been a pretty positive guy. I believe in positive thinking. That has taken me out of poverty and now I see this as a journey to prove that I can heal myself. I think I started this thing in a flatline as I never had a true libido for a "real person" in a while. I embrace the flatline because I either have no urge to watch P or im so disgusted with what it does to people that I have already wired my brain to hate it! lol. I'm on day 6 tonight and in 13 mins away from day 7 no pmo no mo. I have one question! I do have the same gf and I told her my situation. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Surprisingly she was supportive and relieved that I was dealing with it. I thought she would leave me but she stayed. First few days I wrested with if she could stay loyal. I knew she has a high drive and I was worried. But she assured me she is here to help. She even said , "even if we don't work out, I want you fixed for the next woman..." That meant the world to me. I'm a prideful guy, so this was me at my weakness". I know every guy is different but, when should I try and have sex with her. I wake up every morning with MW. I have for months. Even when we would try in the morning, it would go limp once I started. I'm trying to focus my brain on just her. I hugged and kissed her today and felt a spark, nothing huge but a great feeling! I fantasized about that all day! I have avoided looking at all other women and FB/IG....I just want her! Any advice would be great! That's gang! I'll keep posting!
