    It is akin to an alcoholic drinking just a little alcohol to reduce symptoms of withdrawal.

    Tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine. Your goal needs to be to limit your exposure to dopamine until the receptors in your brain resensitize so that smaller amounts of dopamine work so that you experience more pleasure from the small things in life and your erectile response to real women is normal. Taking tyrosine right now is poison.

    Can you link a study on why you need to limit dopamine? I don't think this is true at all and i think you made this up. Keep in mind that dopamine is only one of the neurochemicals that get out of wack during active addiction and recovery. There are many others that are involved and probably play a bigger role.

    Most gladly.

    We can’t actually look at the brains of humans. But, we’ve known about the essential role of dopamine for a long time in many other mammalian species.

    Here’s just one: Prolactinergic and dopaminergic mechanisms underlying sexual reactions in men

    You’re not wrong. Acetylcholine also plays a role. Norepinephrine plays a powerful role in ejaculation and is likely more more implicated in DE than dopamine.

    I'm not a doctor and if you know better than I, i would be pleased to be disabused of this notion. Please feel free to set me straight.

    Further, if it isn't huge surges in dopamine that have broken us all by manipulating porn, can you please tell us what it is?

    I am not convinced you should take any drugs either, it seems you can recover from this by simply giving it time and staying away from PMO. I would just go it with out the drugs.

    I’ve read some articles about cold showers. Is there science behind it?

    I don’t need to learn the lesson that sometimes you’ve got to do things you don’t want to do. I get up every day. I go to class and teach - whether I feel like it or not. I never cancel.

    I’ve learned that life lesson a long time ago. What are cold showers going to do to speed my recovery?
