I just had 3 days of a 'good' libido... first time in about 10 years...

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 4, 2019.

  1. You can read my old posts to find out why my libido has been DEAD for a decade but 4 months No P. And only 2 Ms in about 100 days I've seen good signs of recovery.

    Morning wood pretty much every day after the first 2 weeks.

    a few wet dreams.

    BUT I had a good libido for 3 days in a row this week. Couldn't believe it - haven't felt that surge of energy for years! it's gone today though, next to no libido again.

    If you had no libido at all for months/years – how long did it take you to get it back with nofap?
     
  2. And now it's completely gone again. Man... Nofap is a rollercoaster haha.

    Just going to throw a guess and say in around 49-90 days depending on your chemistry and commitment/success in changing the urge to something more productive. The general guide info here on NoFap mentioned something to the effect of the libido loss being a sign of the reboot effectively taking effect and also that some people mistakingly get worried about the loss or more insidiously use it as a reason to reset. So, I'd say just keep moving forward and try your best to stay positive about the changes and look forward to a different form of libido than you are used to eventually coming to you.

    Have you been doing nofsp for the past decade or just started. Just wondering if your libido still gone after quitting for 10 years..
     
  5. Started porn when I was about 12, horny as hell up until 18

    age 18: horny as hell but now internet porn on a laptop (in my bedroom)

    age 19: started taking a hairloss drug and saw some side effects panicked and watched loads of HxC porn trying to tell myself I was ok.

    age 20-27 (THE REALLY WASTED YEARS...): no hairloss drug. Was convinced I had killed my libido and dick forever as I could only get hard to porn and only looked forward to porn. I always had girls interested in me as I didn't give an F. I wasn't needy chasing them like everyone else which had girls intrigued by me. Seeking validation. Every time I took a girl home I just couldn't get hard. My brain was screaming for me to have sex with her, but my penis and balls felt like a cheap silicone strap on.

    28: I hear about nofap! lifeline, cut out porn and PMO and feel truly happy and motivated for the first time in my life! I achieved a new career and everyone was like wtf happened mate????!!!! Libido was coming back, morning erections were too and I felt like they was hope. BUT I got lazy around day 70... and started watching porn occasionally and M 4 times a week or so.

    [Life got in the way: had some super depressive bouts and now I know why... I've noticed PMO really gives me depression/OCD BAD. Honestly a life changer]

    age 32 (now): I still watched porn and M quite a lot as I felt I was cured – but I really wasn't as I had really poor sex. BUT that sex attempt made me realise what an idiot I'd been. I felt so close to total recovery a few years ago but I mucked it up and work and life was so demanding I just forgot about NOFAP. I just accepted that my libido was low and "this is life" and how everyone else must feel.

    I started doing nofap again and I'm really feeling it!

    I'm 4 months no P
    Streaks of no MO were 73, 7, and 15.

    My last relapse was last night (just M) and it was amazing! I'm actually GLAD I relapsed as it showed me how far I've come. I had a right itchy pecka after putting some bio oil on it and it got so itchy I found myself M'ing.
    I got hard within seconds, held a great erection, and the orgasm blew my fooking mind! I haven't orgasmed like that for about 10 years!!!!! And I didn't feel depressed after it, just annoyed I'd broken a streak.

    I now don't believe that shitty hair loss drug did any damage and I don't have a low libido. I was just super sensitive to porn and I abused it to the nth degree! I'm SO excited to start again and see the improvements come back. That orgasm was a reminder of what I'm missing! Ready to start dating again.


    Benefits I've seen on my streaks:
    - Depression and OCD MASSIVELY reduced
    - I've had some days of good libido!
    - Morning wood is back every morning
    – feeling more confident
    - more energy
    - Orgasms are amazing
    - Can get hard from imagination if I get a good visual!


    It's been a rough round. About 30-50 days in my OCD and depression were awful. SO bad. yesterday was all the motivation I need to make this a permanent lifestyle change!

  6. Hey buddy. I don't really know what a fully functioning libido is as I wired to porn from a young age but I have been having these primal feelings towards women at times and hoping it's a breakthrough happening soon. I think undealt anxiety has also compromised my libido as well. 19 months in and still noticing improvements. It has been ever so slow and up and down.

    I also woke up from one of the most intense sex dreams I've had as well felt HD like so I'm taking that as a good sign my brain is heading into the right direction. Keep going man.

  7. In fact the other day I had a shot of libido it was so strong at night whilst laying in bed I couldn't sleep. I've also had morning wood come back as well albeit it's not fully erect but it's still a sign.
     
  8. Haha HD! I like it. have you tried having sex yet? Sounds like you're super close!

    I’ve actually just started getting Morning wood back at the end of my sixth month starting seventh month. I always got nocturnal wood but getting morning wood now means that things are progressing. No random erections yet as my brain still has fantasizing going on creating the erections.

    It’s awesome your getting shots of libido as well. Means you are progressing. I will have more time needed as I wired to porn as a kid as well. Taking a long time but I have accepted the length of time this will take and not worried as much anymore about it ..
