3 weeks into latest reboot and totally dead

I am and was in the same boat. You need to cut out all masturbation. I stopped using porn also in June, and was masturbating like every 3 days, but in order to achieve erection I had to touch myself for a very long period of time. Cut out all masturbation, don't touch, don't fantasize. 90 days NoFap will most likely not be enough for you. When I started Hard Mode 2 months ago I was also dead, than had huge porn cravings and dreams of me watching porn and now I am in flatline again. Aim for 1 year reboot. Don't force real sex until you are fully healed and never masturbate again.

 

Hang in there guys! I am almost a month and it took me awhile to get there. I would go on short streaks then relapse and this happened like 3 times but don’t give up. You will eventually master it. Now I’m finally starting to wake up with rock hard erections but my libido is still a bit off. I’m feeling manic too but hey guys remember this is temporary and just enjoy feeling like this because it’s not going to last an eternity. You will have days where you’re feeling fine and you will have terrible days as well. In 90 days im sure we will be the person we were before this addiction.

 

Just hang in there and exercise. That always helps. You will get better I promise man. Don’t overthink it

 

You see that’s progress. Just be patient. Yea it sucks but remember within no time you will get better

 

I was masturbating every 3 days, but there is no big difference how often you masturbate if you don't watch porn. The only way for you to heal is to stop masturbation completely and then you will fully reboot. You have to be patient, it can be a long road and I encourage everybody to stick with it, until you are fully healed. Some sensation down there is just a sign your body started healing. Wait until those sensations become 100x times stronger.

 

This is a great, great thing

 

Why should we stop masturbstion why not stop porn alone?

 

Because masturbation is not the same as sex. Your brain is very plastic and can wire to different things - you masturbate you get pleasure. Your brain is wiring to you receiving pleasure from being alone, sometimes feeling depressed. I started masturbating long before I started porn, and because of it I developed numerous fetishes, like humiliation, cuckold etc. At the age of 19-20 my sexual orientation switched, and I became interested in gay porn and transgender porn.

 

aha right

 

Everything from my social life to my physical health has been damaged by this addiction. The worst part about it was that I constantly justified it in my head by saying it was ‘healthy for me’ and ‘at least it isn’t a drug’.
