Hello everyone

I want to start off by saying that I am not the very best at english, but I will do my best!

I have been reading a lot about what happens to your brain when using porn lately, and I've learned quite a big deal of
information about my self by comparing other people's stories in relation to mine. And I want to thank everyone to have
shared their stories on this site.

I'm 32 yo and, I've had a strange childhood.. Ive always been a very sexually active guy! I love sex and lol, its obviously the reason why
I've been spending SO much time porn sites.. When I was younger like a lot of other men out there, at a young age, I started loosing my hair
and very quickly acted on the sittuation, I've been using propecia for years. I know that the medicine has certain side effects concerning low libido or ED.. but I also know that those side effects are rare and don't happen to all men using the drug.

Long story short, I've started noticing that I had a poor sexual life when it came to having sex with my life partners, a hard time getting it up,
or just a lack of interest in sex.. BUT only with my partners. This is when I really started to understand that this might be a problem with the use of porn and NOT the propecia drug. I read lots of stories on the internet, even stories of guys that had more or less the same issues I had.

I basically started my Reboot 12 days ago. I have a hard time sleeping at night.. I know some guys have pain in their testicles but I haven't really noticed that in my case.. I Can say that I feel much better, I'm a lot more aware and happy.. I'm not as lazy.. I don't stay up so late anymore, I have a good lifestyle, great health.. I work and I keep busy as much as possible. Strangely, quitting porn has not been so difficult.. I only get some porn images poping up in my mind from time to time. I have morning wood but not consistent.. I think I even had a wet dream last night.. I'm not sure what it was but I was rock hard.. it made me laugh.

I have a problem adapting my mind to this new lifestyle.. I can read all I want about other stories however, I can never be sure
how well I'm doing. maybe you guys could help me understand some things..

How would I know if I'm doing better, how can I test my self?

How do I know if my libido is back? what does libido do exactly? how do we react to it when it takes effect in our body?

Are we supposed to catch a boner by just thinking about sex? what should I expect?

Sorry for all the questions, but I need some feedback to my problem.. if there is anyone out there with a similar issue,
I would love to hear from you, or just anyone that could give me some advice on how to get out of this nightmare!
would be greatly appreciated!  :)


Thanks everyone! looking forward to hearing from ya'll!  :)
