Hi, I am 26. And I have PIED from watching P since I was 15. Now I am on a 6 day streak (my first streak) now. I had no movement down there since I began the streak. Day 7 : I had morning wood which was around 75% hard and it stayed for sometime even when I was out of bed. Nothing after that. Day 8: I got a boner while video calling my girl friend even though we were not discussing anything arousing, only random talk. This was also around 75% hard. All these days I have not PMOed or I did not have any other random boners with other girls. What does this mean? Am I on the way to recovery or is video calling also an issue as it is also something seen on a screen? Guys, Please advise. I will be continuing my thread with anymore events that happens.
I wouldn't worry. in fact i'd say that's a good sign that you have erections with your GF. everyone's reboot is different. you might be going through a mini flatline, where nothing is stirring down there. but if you have had 2 boners on separate days with no help from your mind/hand, its a good sign. the lack of drive just means your body needs to rest things down there. before it can fix any damage you may have done. try to keep things non sexual with your gf, and you'll be back to normal before you know. but it'll take time.
I am in a long distance relationship with my gf and mostly we are having only video calls. Gr8 to know that I am in the right direction. Thanks mate...
Day 10: Today morning I had a slight movement down below just after I work up and had light shower in cold water. It was around 5 in the morning and it was slightly cold. There was a movement down there which was looking to turn into a boner but as I was around my parents and I was wearing a lose pant, I fought its urge to stay up and it went down after around 5 minutes with a slightly larger flaccid. Is it harmful to stop a boner from forming? Will it affect such that it will be difficult to get a boner in normal cases? This is one of the normal practices when I am around people. Any advise?
Thanks for the info @MarinoBigFan1984. I hope it does`nt take too long as the suspense is killing more than the urge to relapse.
I shouldn't think so. if you have the power to stop boners! it shouldn't effect you when it comes to the time when you actually need it. during a reboot, they'll pop out of nowhere, around people or not. try not to worry about it too much.
10 days really isn’t much time at all. I’d asses your progress after a month before making any decisions.
You are right. Just noting down some of the changes happening to me during no PMO. Will go strong... I am aiming for no PM for life...
Day 11: Today was a bit stressful as I had a fight with my girl friend which is not yet resolved... the moments when she does not reply for a long stretch of time is killing and it calls for relapse... The mind just keeps telling that I need to calm myself down which is possible with PMO. But I have overcome that for now... hope we sort out our differences soon as more stressfull days pass, the more the urges will increase
Day 12: We are back together !!! This is such a relief, the stress is gone and so are the urges. I feel great even though there is no movement down below. I am being patient about it. Hope I am in the recovery phase. I have noticed that I am getting semi-boners while video chatting with my girl friend which is really concerning me as basically my dick is dead rest of the time and I am doubtful whether subconsciously my brain is thinking this is P and getting myself aroused. This most probably have a chance to hinder my recovery. Guys please advise...
Perhaps it’s your brain subconsciously thinking of P. But I’d say it’s more likely a healthy attraction to your gf. It’s a good sign you’re rebooting is going well. Perfectly natural. And if you are worried about it. Just be careful what you do when you finish talking to her. Keep busy until it goes away. Things are semi quiet now. But be prepared for things to spike again. But take the quiet moments now. It’s a good sign.
@Anonymous86, this is the same doubt that is filling in my mind. We don`t have any sexy talks or do anything triggering. But I do get these boners. I need to know whether this will hinder my recovery.
