Hi Arctichowler,
Are you in a relationship now? Or are you "just" talking about it to some friends?
It makes a difference, I think. When you're in a relationship, P can become a real problem. But maybe the guys you talk to, really don't see it as problem or are in denial... I read a lot about men that talk to their friends about it, but the subject is still a bit difficult and awkward. A lot of guys don't like to admit, they have a problem or really think they don't have a problem.
The real issues rise, once you get into a serious relationship. Then it can take away all the intimacy. Maybe you have the advantage, that you are a guy and you know how P can seduce you. For most of us women, it's hard to understand and we feel rejected. I truly hope, you'll never have that kind of an experience.
If you are in a relationship, try to talk with your partner, explain what P does to a brain, use this site and all the info on YBOP, watch the videos together..... It's all about education yourself an your partner. And most important: talking about it.
Anyway: it's a good thing, you realize you have a problem and you are dealing with it!
I wish you all the best and if you have any more questions.........
