Hey everyone,
Starting into the third week of my reboot now. No porn, no porn substitutes, and I barely ever even touch my penis. I'm super optimistic although I'm still dreading the flatline. My penis and my whole reproduction/hormonal system seems to already be going through drastic changes.
My dick is definitely a lot smaller on average and there are some times that it feel like it might just disappear all together. It's very scary but I'm assuming that is normal.. My attitude is still good though and I seem to have a lot of libido when I'm with my girlfriend.
Anyway, the last time I was with my girlfriend in bed I was super turned on and everything but we didn't have sex. The next day my penis and testicles were super sore and felt like they were about to explode and yet that was when I couldn't get it up whatsoever. That was when I realized I had PIED. I started the reboot immediately after that although I jerked off that day because I had to take that pain in my balls away, which it did. From what I've read it seems to be a good idea to keep yourself from having orgasms for a while during the recovery, even if it's with a real person. Is there such a thing as blue balls or was it just a symptom of my porn addiction?
Last night I was making out with my girlfriend and I was well-aroused. In fact, not only was I hard but there was a lot of 'leakage'. A little later during the drive home I kept getting these weird shooting sensations that felt like they were coming from my prostate and then all the way through to the end of my penis. It wasn't really painful, but very uncomfortable and it felt as though my body was trying to force something out. Sometimes I actually get this feeling just randomly at other times too, even when I haven't had any sexual stimulation.
So this got me thinking, is it healthy not to be having orgasms at least once in a while? I suppose it's possible lots of men, before porn and porn addiction, would go through long periods without having orgasms? So is it just that my body is used to coming every single day? Or is it actually unhealthy to be holding back? I'm more than likely going to have some intimate time with my girlfriend in a couple weeks from now. I really need to know the best way to go about that. I want to try to not have an orgasm but I also don't want to have a lot of pain in my balls for days after.
Any thoughts?
