    Having never actively tried to reboot previously, i feel fairly cynical about how succesful it can and will be.

    Ive no doubt that quitting porn has endless benefits. But in terms of enhanced libido and diminished ed i dont feel like i will see benefits there. I guess i am looking for some reassurances from people who went in with the same mindset as me.

    Im fairly sure although not certain my issue is a combination of pied and anxiety. However not sure I will resolve this through no PMO alone. Naturally I hope I do.


    My libido feels low as it is I recognise attractive girls but am not aroused by them. Certainly not to the extent i once was. So with that in mind if this isnt a flatline im dreading getting to that stage.

    As per another post ive probably uses porn as long as i remember. Never anything out of the ordinary in content just the amount consumed. The pied hit me out of the blue rather than a gradual thing and has been stuck in my head for a year. I just hope i can revert to normal in all senses but feel pessimistic about it.

    Day 3 and it seems easy enough thus far but accept long days ahead no doubt.

    Are you having sex?

    Fap/pmo is often described as a "drug" here, but imo that's only for people trying to use it as a replacement for actual sex. If they're not, then it's really more an "orthopedic" kind of device -- in other words, if you have no disabilities towards sex, there's no reason to really fap/pmo.

    Same way how healthy people should be getting up and walking instead of constraining themselves to a wheelchair or other device.

    Probably not as much as i could or should. And only around fapping.

    Update. Managed to avoid P completely for 28 days but just had an urge. And watched some but didnt go further.

    But not gone without M and O for the 28 days. However not to P at all.

    Found avoiding P fairly easy. The other two not so.
