"Older guys" take less time to recover? I'm 31 and have been watching porn for 15 years – am I classed as an "older" or "younger" guy? Lol!
I am 47 and have been into PMO since I was 16, I have been clean for over a year now. The amount of time before that was probably a week or so.
So basically guys in their 30s and up. I was just 14-15 when I got high speed, before that I would find/steal/buy any playboys I could get.....that was 15 or so years ago almost. I was told "older" also meant it was easier to quit since our libido get's its first drop in our 30s as well.
I am still working recovery slowly with my gf, but any tip I would have is to have a gf or wife or to try to stop to stop this on your own would be incredibly difficult in my opinion.
I want those figures on my profile man. Had a good 2019 so far but messed up the last couple of days..
Cheers bro...must start utilising this again. Great to get encouragement from other guys and reading similar situations...
Hi Nugget9. Similar position. I have a gf that can help with this but the PIED is still holding me back. I have no trouble to relapse but just wondering when normal libido will return. I am five months clean now and have heard and probably agree 6-9 months for full recovery of PIED at age 40 now.. What was your timeline in getting you libido back..??
I am 28, and been watching porn since 13. I essentially wired myself to this shit, and didn't have much intercourse in my teens/early 20's. I know I have a long road ahead, but I'm prepared to wait for as long as it takes to eliminate my porn addiction and PIED.
I am still working on getting my libido back. It is back and forth with my gf and right now I am doing a 30 day monk mode reboot which we have tried before but never succeeded.
Nugget9 I am trying with my gf too, over 10 years of porn and I do have PIED as well. Your probably younger than me so will not take you as long I assume ...
I guess that makes me an older guy then. DAM Currently 47 days in: morning wood is back, I have a libido at times but social anxiety and depression have been pretty dam awful since I started. A few waves of happiness for the first few days but none lately. I'm surpised at how easy this has been to be honest. Slight desire to watch porn but it's not major!
Social anxiety and depression will start to come down towards the end of 60 days and may go into 90 days but everyone is different. You trying to get over PIED as well or just bad erections..
My reasons for starting: - (weak) morning wood about once a month - severe PIED, get hard to porn but takes me 20 mins or more with girls - always lose it fast. Sex was always a struggle - no libido at all, I forced myself to go dating – thinking PIED was all in my head
Keep at it man...but it does take time. I've had significant clean spells but it never seems to have gone 100% (the PIED) so you gotta stay disciplined. There is light at the end of the tunnel my friend but you have to stay strong..
That’s me at five months.. I think PIED is all in my head too. I think in the six month I will be ready to go further in bed but still a little hesitant. Try going to sleep early every night and see if that makes a difference. In my recovery I start getting it every morning when I exercise and start getting more rest. How far are you now in your streak..??
