How can you increase the libido after a reboot ? Did someone manage to fix this?

    First of all thanks for reading this and sorry if this doesnt belong here ,but i really didnt knew where to put it.
    So one year ago i finished my first official nofap reboot. I had a nasty addiction and a severe PIED .After 2 months ,with the help of what was then my new girlfriend i overcome my addiction and had the first real connection with a woman in years(im not talking about sex or other twisted behavior),but a real intimate relationship.She was really supportive and helped me improve a lot.
    But i always had a problem with my libido .Its only understandable when one is using P ,but i had a gf for months now ,and still didnt felt that need for sex. We use to fool around like every couple and things would end up with intercourse ,but i never felt that drive.That thirst that drives us crazy .And after a while sex for me became dull,boring .Eventually me and my gf broke up.
    But after i never felt the need for someone ,psychically.I wasnt doing P,but i didnt had the need for a real person.And that went on a long time,till it eventually cracked me down and made me relapse .
    I know that im still recovering and the brain is still getting used to these new sensations and stimulus,and giving that regular sex would never bring nothing close as the dopamine levels P brings. But , how can i improve my libido after a reboot ?


    Thank you

    Sadly i can't help you since i'm having the same problem ':/
    I always like to believe that the damage that porn did to me is completely reversible if i just hold on long enough but most of the time i don' t feel like this is true...

    Go on HARDMODE for another 3 months. You got to take into consideration how long you’ve used porn as well
     
  4. I would lift weights. Squats and dead-lifts especially. No matter how weak or how strong you are, a session in the gym can really boost testosterone.

  5. Try hardmode, then the exercise everyday and improve your diet. Little things like that help your libido a lot.

    Are your testosterone levels ok? You should be horny as hell

    If you have two working balls your testosterone should be on a normal level at this age, at least that is what my doctor said to me, so he didn't even want to take a blood test

    While I agree about going hard mode, you might also have some nutritional issues. Depending on your diet and lots of other things, your body might not have the needed nutrients to really get that drive going. Look into some body building type supplements -- personally, I'm a fan of Animal Stak (can be found on amazon). Lots of good stuff in there.

    Once you start to really get those dopamine receptors healed, real sex is so much better than PMO. There's no comparison. It's a bit like fasting for a week or more, drinking nothing but water. At the end of the fast, even vegetables taste amazing. Before, you could be eating cake and think "mehhh." Just a guess, but you probably had sex too soon into your recovery. You didn't crave it and thus it re-enforced the idea that PMO will always be better.

    Another thought: you know how everyone on here says edging is horrible and will only increase your desire for PMO? You can actually use this to your advantage in a relationship. Sex with intentionally not climaxing can do the same thing.

    what @DonDraper says is true. Studies have shown while lifting heavy weights, low reps while engaging as many muscle groups as possible is attributed to a spike of testosterone as your body attempts to repair stressed muscle fibers over the next 24-48 hrs. Leg day is always great for this!

    Well I am still trying to quit porn addiction, but had previously rebooted last year. I had this problem. But I felt a great deal of increase in libido after I excercised. Lifted weights. If not that I played soccer. It gives you a different high and after gym or returning from the soccer field I felt now I need sex.

  11. If you're still dealing with issues or feel below your baseline, try to schedule an appointment with your doctor. A blood test can always verify your issues, and your doctor's professional opinion can go a long way.

    If you try some natural supplements like beet powder - maca - and horny goat weed - by gosh sometimes the libido goes bananas. Esp the beet powder - read on it and you get the corralary benefits of it being a superfood. And if youre not familiar with the taste it is actually really good - earthy and sweet. Beet juice too, but it isnt as cost effective as the powder - and you can find the organic powder in a lot of places.boron, in beet powder is your friend. Its pimped as a nat ED cure so Id checked it out when I was grasping at straws and found it didnt help so much on ed (wasnt aware of the pied component then) but damn did it rev shit in the libido lane.

    I am having a similar issue. My libido is mostly down. For me it wasn't even that hard to stay away from porn because I didn't get strong urges to it, and I can easily be several days without it with no problems at all. However, I do want my libido back. I want to have that appetite for sex that I used to have before. It makes me feel alive. I went to the doctor and my testosteronewas on point (I asked for the specific numbers). I also started taking horny goat weed, went through a whole bottle taking two capsules daily, but it literally did nothing to my libido, except that I would ejaculate more semen when I had an orgasm, but not much other than that. I have been edging every now and then, I try not to do it too frequently, and I also try not to ejaculate, but there is so much contradictory information that I don't know if that will do me good or do me bad...
     
  14. You most likely have entered an early flatline. There is a possibility that this is a neurological/psychological related issue. I would wait through this time period and let the flat-line ride itself out. I don't see the need to take supplements. Going on hardmode Nofap and do testosterone increasing activities like lifting weights.

    Well what I have observed in my case is that if I wait for a period of two or three weks, I already start to see an increase in the reactivity of my penis, meaning that I can get hard much easier from thoughts or from lightly touching my penis, and also my previsto starts to come back, but if at that point I have sex and ejaculate, then I kind of go back again. I don't want to have to wait two or three weeks every time I am going to have sex...

  16. Interesting. I can't comment any further because I don't really have experience with this, nor ever heard of someone who has.

    Try manually stimulating your penis for a minute or two every night before you go to bed. Do not masterbate, watch porn, fantasize, orgasm, or do it longer than a minute or two. With two fingers lightly and slowly stroke and simply experience the sensation. In a day or two you'll want to rearrange the guts of every woman you talk to.
     
  18. I don't think this will help the issue here. That's edge teasing.

    I can relate to this. The only time I feel genuinely horny and getting strong wood or just heat downstairs is in the few hours after I workout.

    Same problem. When I don't fap, my libido is down completely. I don't have any arousing toughs or anything... and that is bothering me when trying to find a girl: I just doesn't feel like I want to do it. I've managed to get intimate with few girls while being in nofap for 20-30 days but always the same scenario happens: we make out and I just don't feel aroused, like its pleasant to make up but that's it. Then they feel like shit for not turning me on and I can't explain to them that I want sex but my body is just numb...
