Opening my eyes

Hey there everyone,

I am totaly new here, so I am going to introduce myself first. I am not going to give you my name or any private data,
but simply describe myself.

Ok,I am 27years old, very athletic, I do not smoke, drink or do any kind of drugs. I have been sexualy active in past with women, but have been now single for a couple of years,so that means no real sex for me. I never had any real ED problems in my past, well it happened when I lost my virginity, but I really think it was because of stress. After that everything was working fine for years. I have been watching porn from when I was like 13-14,butnot every day or so. But for the last, i think like 3 years, porn was becoming my life,I've been watcing it almost every day,sometimes more than once per day,so that means a lot of PMO. And then it happened,I was fooling around with a woman, feeling prety excited, but nothing happened. I mean,I felt nothing. There I was, with a beautiful,young woman,and I couldn't get an erection no matter what. I don't have to tell you how I felt, but from that moment on, I know what it feels like when you loose your manhood...for the first time in my life, I started to doubt in myself...awfull feeling.
So, when I got home,alone,I was like freaking out,but then I calm down,and started thinkig...I have no problems with getting it up with porn,so it's not that my penis doesn't work. I am not homosexual, i love women, I find them atractive, and the lady I was with is very atractive in my eyes,so it can't be that either. The last thought was that I am clearly a healthy "young" man, I do all kind of sports, I eat healthy, drink enough water, don't smoke,drink,do drugs, I was not tired, I can jerk off to porn, so it has to be in my head. Google came handy, i found YBOP pretty fast, and started reading. It was a shock. In that moment, I made that choice. No more PMO for me for good. I am now on day 18, for the first time, and I am doing great. Morning wood is back, which is great, I thought you loose it when you get older :) I am not going for 60,90,110 days, I am going for life ;) I know it will be dificult, but I can and will do this :)
Sorry for a long post, bit I had to put it on forum :)
I am opened for any suggestions, comments, thoughts,questions,...I will post my progress like every week or so. Thank you for any reply or reading this long post, and thank you all for sharing your experiencess,they are helpfull ;)

Welcome to the forum, weightlifter! It sounds like you are happy with your decision to not use PMO "for life," and I am glad that you are feeling good about it.  ;D

Welcome man! Believe me, it's one of the best decisions done during your life-time! Congratulations on making the call and good luck with the reboot! Don't freak out if your libido drops below the sea level some days! Best of luck!
 
Thanks for your support ;) I`ve read a lot of articles about these, watched all the videos, so I am expecting a flatline to happen...when it does, I won`t be afraid or freaking out :) And I do believe you to be the best decision in my life, at least one of them :p There is no such feeling as the one where you can`t get it up in front of a live woman. 
 
Hey there.
Ok so today is my 21st day of no PMO. I had a bit of insomnia in the last couple of nights, but no big deal. Still got like 5h of sleep per night and that will have to do it :D Generaly I am feeling very good with my self, I am full of confidence and determination to do this.
I am also starting to notice some changes, while I speak to random women I am looking directly into their eyes,which was always a problem for me. So this is a great improvement for me. Still getting solid morning wood, so thats great as well ;)
As I said, I generaly feel great.
I want you all to pursue your goal no matter what, it may be difficult, but we can all do this ;)
 
Ok, so it is time to make a small report.
I am on my 28 day of no PMO and I am feeling great. My insomnia is gone, I really feel like I have more energy, looking directly into someones eyes is getting much easier and more intense. I don`t know if that is a placebo efect, because I`ve been reading about this, but I really do feel these changes. I also started noticing small things on people,animals,outside in nature. I can auctally smell the rain for example,or feel the wind,hear some birds singing,...never tried that before, well maybe as a child ;)
I know I am still at the begining of my path, and there were some tough days, and I`m sure there are tough days ahaid, but I feel like nothing can stop me. Because once you start noticing those small things, and you realise how much those simple moments fulfill your life, you know you can do it ;)
Patience is the key ;)

I've just read your progress and that's promissing, congratulation man! I hope I'll feel the same symptoms when I m near 1 month of no PMO! :)
 
Thank you for your support ;) I take each and every day at a time :)
@jvn I am sure you will feel some changes in 3 weeks time, that is 21 days later ;) what is 21 days on a life scale ;) and then you go onto day 29,30,31...and there you are...at day 90 or whatever your goal is ;) mine is life :D When I started with this, I was thinking about porn, it never brought anything good into my life, so I don`t need it...I don`t care for it...there is life out there, and I want to live it ;)
Good luck everyone, just push forward, no matter what ;)
 
hey there everyone, it`s time to post my progress. So today it is my 39th day without PMO, I am still going hardcore. It is going great for me, this morning I was drinking coffe at a bar, when I noticed Playboy next to me. I took it, looked at it, smiled and flipped it over, finished drinking my coffe,payed the bill and went on to my trainig. I feel like I have my emotions under control, my insomnia is gone, the energy level is way above normal, I mean I`ve always had enough energy, but the way I feel now is great. The best thing is, I can feel a womans touch, really feel it ;) So it seems I`m on the right path to full recovery. Everyone, just push on, no matter what ;)
 
It`s been a while from my last report, so let me put a little update about my progress. Today is day 54 for me, this journey was 100% straight forward for me, I never looked back. The things I`ve realized in this short period of time, and what happened to me is amaizing ;)
-I`ve started noticing little things ( birds singing, smell of rain, sunsets are superb, humans eyes are just so atractive,...)
-my training became much more intense, the strenght I can produce is something new to me...i was strong before, but now it`s diferent
-I wake up in the morning rested, full of energy, happy, ready to conquer the world ;)
-a lot of woman are flirting with me at work, on the street, in a bar, ...
-I feel in love with an amaizing woman, we will see where it leads us
-insomnia totaly gone, my emotions are back to normal, there is no more crying, depresion,...

Overall it feels great, this is the best thing I`ve ever decided to do, now my friends I go for a morning walk ;) I really do wish you all to push on, don`t relapse, just push it, trust me, it is worth it...2 months ago I had no feelings whatsoever, I can say I was numb to almost anything...now, everything seems perfect...there is a beautifull woman in my life, my sport performance is epic, my life is getting back to track, I have made some really good friends, I see things from another perspective now...have a nice day all ;)
 
Hello after a long time...first, let me tell you all this is my last post ;)
Ok, so, where should I begin, I have no idea on what day I am at, I stopped counting a while ago...I don`t know why, I just didn`t care anymore about the number :D
If I look back, I decided for the no PMO after I fooled around with a beautiful young woman and couldn`t get an errection, nothing at all...I came home, angry, scared, maybe even devastated,...cooled down, went on the web and started searching...I couldn`t understand why, I could get a normal errection with porn, had sex with women before, I really liked this woman, I mean she is hot, I was healthy, there were no drugs, alcohol...involved, so there should be no problem, right? well after few days of searching the web, analysing everything, reading "every" article on YBOP i founded my cure, it was simple, no PMO whatsoever...and I did, and am still doing it.
Let me just tell you it is the best choice I have ever made, for example, I get aroused by a simple kiss from a woman, the touch itself is amaizing, holding hands,...everything is just so diferent now. I walk down the street with my head held high, I look people directly into their eyes, I talk with confidence, I don`t back down anymore, and what inspires me most is that I now know what I want in my life.
And now positive effects:
-I need less sleap
-morning wood is as hard as steel
-I feel happy about my life
-I enjoy in nature, listening to birds, looking at sunsets, looking at the ocean, just thinking,...
-I am stronger, faster, healthier, happier,...
-I look at women and respect them as human beings, they stoped being sexual objects for me
-can get an erection only by touching myself,felt strange first :D
-my emotions are under control, no more crying, anger, sadness
-I feel like a real man again, i feel alive
...
Negative effects:
-I have no idea, if there are some, I don`t care ;)

For all of you who are trying this method out and can`t pursue it, trust me, it is worth every bad moment in the process, everyone can do this, no matter how hard it is. And don`t take shortcuts, you just have to go one day at a time. You need to get healthy, get healthy, you need to start loosing weight, start loosing weight, you need to stop smoking, stop smoking, you need to stop PMO, stop PMO! ;) it`s that simple, you just have to do it, no one else is going to do it for you, it`s your body and your life ;)
There are limitless options a human body is designed to do, one of them is making love to a real partner, a woman, a man, whatever you desire is, but our bodies and mind were not created for masturbating in front of a screen, there is life out there, go and grab it!
Good luck to all of you, and thank you for your support ;)
Goodbye everyone ;)
