My Journey to Recovery - The One

My name is James. I am 21 years old, 5'8'', I live in Toronto, and have PIED. Bleh fuck.

I am currently on Day 30 of no Orgasming at all. I never spent much time on this site before and then I started reading the journal of iHaveSeenEvil. He has inspired me so much to start journaling so lets go!

My backstory with PIED up to this point;;

Did not start watching P until 15 and did not start M until a few months after watching P. Yes I watched P before M'ing for the first time and never knew what M'ing was until I accidentally discovered it with P. ( I know, i must seem sexually retarded to not know about masturbation until 15, but thats the way my life played out).

To make matters a shit load worse, I masturbated prone until 18 (humping pillows and bedsheets to get off with porn as assistance) ( I know,, REALLY sexually retarded). This feels really weird writing out right now btw.

Anyway, i was a virgin until 18. I lost my virginity in University. I was really looking forward to go to University in Toronto so I could meet lots women cause I grew up in a very small town. Thing was, whenever I tried hooking up w/ them, I either couldn't get hard or else it would take me like an hour to do so. When i went to google to find out my problem, i stumbled upon 'healthstrokes.com', saying my problem was M'ing prone. In a week of no M i should be back to normal. Well i took a week off M and was able to M fine with my hand now but I still used porn.

Almost 2 years then go by: I don't have sex but instead fall into a depression and have lots of social anxiety. I also watch porn everyday like an idiot! I finally decide its been long enough since I've been with a girl. I meet a sweet girl on Tinder, and when its time to fuck, it again? takes me 3 hours to finally get hard.

WTF! I thought I solved this problem. I go back to google for help and find YBOP. So then on January 12th, 2015 I ended my PMO. Thing was though, i kept M'ing a few weeks after, quite regularly. I was able to get pretty good erections, i definitely had to use fantasy to retain it.

I then met a great girl in April. My reboot was doing pretty well. Sometimes I couldn't have sex and sometimes I could. Once we even fucked 3 times in one meetup and I felt awesome! But In June she left me. And then I found out she gave me Molluscum Contagiousum on my cock (Its a pox virus, look it up, it does go away but takes time) Plus, just for the fun of it, a rash showed up on my cock too. Fuck. (i've tested for STD'S & I'm clean) This gave me tons of panic attacks and then I relapsed once to porn because of the Molluscum plus feeling shitty about her leaving me? i just needed an escape form the mental pain. I M'ed a few more time after but then decided I wanted this fixed once and for all. I've stopped all orgasm for the time being. I'm going to be journaling everyday because I feel it will help. I hope this helps people but if no one reads it,  i know this well help me.

Okay, day 30? lets go.

So how have the first 30 days of this shit journey gone?

Days 1-8 = kind of like telling a normal person not M a week. i knew I could do it but it was annoying and I really wanted to. Felt like this was a right move.

Day's 8 - 17 = Flatline. I felt honestly awful. I would see attractive girls and nothing would go on down there. Panic attacks upon panic attacks. Several panic attacks.

Day's 18 - 25 = Flatline dropped and i was getting libido. Thinking about sex with real people would get me a pretty nice erection. Got my first wet dream on day 24. Also, social confidence shot up! I was able to talk to people I would not normally be able to out of shyness. Eye contact improved. Furthermore, even when I'm not erect, my flaccid penis looked much bigger, hadn't looked that big and normal since high school. Really happy with how stuff was going.

Day 26 - 29 = 'New Superpowers' go away. Flatline returns full force. I honestly feel Asexual and it scared the living shit out of me.

As for morning wood? I get it but it literally goes away after 10 seconds of getting up.

Please let there be light at the end of the tunnel and please let this tunnel be closer then i think.

Sorry I've written so much. Wish I started journaling sooner. I could write more but it would be the size of a chapter in a novel.  :p

About masturbation prone, i did do that since I was 6 until 14-15 or somewhere near that age. After that I switched to masturbation by hand and it worked just fine. Actually I've never knew that masturbation prone is harmful until now ( I'm 24 )
So far Just my luck my symptoms were not really served and I'm having great improvement even though I'm not really going on full hard mode.
Good luck, stay healthy !

Hey man, 30 days, great job already, keep it up!
From what I've heard, libido starts acting out frequently during the reboot, it's not unusual at all. But it always returns in full force once you've successfully rebooted. So don't worry, it happens to everybody, just stick to it.

Day 30,

Fuck, I've had this rash on my dick 2 months now. I went to a sex health clinic and the doctor has no idea what it is. Not an STI; said to just wait it out.

I know for a fact that me worrying about this rash on my dick is making my reboot last so much longer then it should. Not only am i worrying about my dick mentally, that my brain can't give the right signals to my dick cause of porn? now physically i have a dick problem. Why is my life like this!?!? My dick is so foreign to me right now.

On a kind of positive note: I have Tinder date planned tomorrow. Probably wont try to go all the way but I'm glad I'm starting to interact with women again. The Molluscum thing made me not want to go out the past two months.

Okay, i've decided I'm going to visit one more doctor but until then, and after that appointment, I am no longer going to worry about the shit on my dick unless something supernatural or cray-cray shows up on it haha. This is going to help me reboot faster, and ultimately make me happier and stop giving me panic attacks.

Wow, I've written a lot for my first day.

Day 31/

So much has happened in the past 24 hours i need to record.

1. Told my parents about this. They didn't really get it but i think it made us closer as a family. After I told them I went home and had some panic attacks. I was on/off crying for 2 hours. Bleh.

2. Went to the doctor. She said I have bad excema all over my body but on my penis its just dry skin and put vaseline on it. As for the Molluscum its pretty much gone! WOOHOO!

3. Had a Tinder date. Brought her to my place. I went down on her, we massaged each other and we cuddled before I walked her home. Could only get about 10%-20% erection for a bit but thats it. I'm not that mad about it right now though.

I will get better..

Day 32/

Found a note in my room that the Tinder girl wrote me before she left me last night. It says "Your an amazing individual." Hung it up on my bulletin board.

Still in a flatline. When you are deep in one, you can feel like your ED is caused by something other then porn use... you have weird thoughts like maybe you were born with having ED for your hole life.

Got a boner at work today while i was flirting with a co-worker. I also took a 4 hour nap after work and had a 10 second MW.

Nofap is making me re-look at my purpose and long term goals. I'm so focused on PIED that I've forgotten about my dreams. I am going to put aside more time for them.

Day 33/

Deepest in the flatline. I feel as asexual as ever, but I'm getting comfortable with it which also scares me.

Flirted with 2 really cute girls I work with. Felt a lot of feeling in my head but nothing in my body.

Fuck.

Day 34/

Got random 20% erections today at work. I dunno I'll take it.

Got kinda hard flirting with a girl on our lunch break at work.

Also, there is this comfy chair i sometimes sit on at work and I usually get hard while i sit in it lololol. Weird, maybe i should just fuck in that chair for the next lil while hahaha.

Emotion wise- I'm all over the fucking place. I can be really happy or else spontaneously crying. I've never had spontaneous crying bouts before. Weird.

I think I'm gonna M on day 90 if my libido feels great.

It can be extremely sad when you have dreams when your sleeping with or your getting married and being with the person you love, and then you don't even wake up with a morning erection.
