Hey All,
You may have seen my first post a couple of days back about starting my reboot. So today is day 3 of the reboot and my 3rd attempt in last 2 months at doing this. I managed 22 days the first time and managed sex with girlfriend during that period before we broke up and I relapsed for like a week. We then got back together and I abstained from porn for a week and we had sex again albeit it was a struggle for me and prob not great for her.
Therefore I'm kinda hoping that if I manage 60/90 days then I may be back to my old self. What do you think? Whilst I have been around porn for 20 years or so it's been quite sporadic in the last few years and not an everyday need so to speak, like it was in my younger days. I can get an erection through pretty soft images ie. topless photos and without porn just thinking of my girlfriends body. And I can manage an erection strong enough to have sex albeit I'd like it to be stronger so I don't need to worry about it during sex. I'm starting to think my addiction is only mild and I may have some performance anxiety too. Anyways, as it's only day 3 and I had wood pretty much every time I woke up in the night last night and a random boner in the middle of the day yesterday I'm still feeling hopeful.
I'm going to take all the above as a positive but if anyone has any thoughts I'd be grateful. This forum is such a good support network, it really helps.
Thanks
