I am a 28 year old gay dude, who's been struggling with porn-induced ed for awhile now.
This reboot is hard. Harder than I thought, and while I've relapsed with MO, I've gone a month without porn. That said, I'm just now admitting and realizing Grindr is kind of a gateway/half-ass porn, so it feels slightly cheating, but over a month with no porn is something.
I am deciding right now that I commit to the full reboot. I am scared, frustrated, about how many failed attempts I've had, but I believe in myself and writing this makes it seem real, reading these success stories makes it seem worth it, and the support of an online forum makes it possible. I am going to write everyday to keep track of my progress. Mostly for myself, but hopefully to help those going on this journey.
Today is day 1.
My goal is to love my sex life with my partner. Ease, fulfillment, and joy. Time to let go of more stress, frustration, and self-hate from this seeming addiction to porn and masturbation.
Wish me luck. Any pointers are welcome.
