    Hi guys

    So i am beginning the journey.

    I would like to know from those whi have succeeded about how long it took you to feel rewired and any milestones a long the way.

    I hope this thread will serve as encouragement and inspiration.

    I think it would be interesting to find out the following:

    1. How long until you felt your natural sensitivity was back?
    2. How long until you stopped looking at women as objects and instead real people?
    3. How long until you could "make love" and connect during sex?
    4. How long until you were satisfied with normal sex with just one (or few) parters (if applicable)?
    5. How long til your cravings for P were as good as gone?
    6. How long til you got rid of those porn aquired fetishes?

    Thanks in advance for any answers.;)

    I swore off porn on 12/24/2013. I feel like I had acquired a earl thy and productive schedule, as well as a healthy view of women and sex in April. About 4 months later. On 5/17/2014 (Day 144) my PIED was officially cured, as proven by my regular sexual experiences with my now girlfriend.

    At this point, the idea of PMO disgusts me, and I never think of sleeping with a girl just based on looks, like when seeing someone out on the street for the first time.

    Occasionally, I have sexual thoughts about female friends that I know well, who I feel I could have a genuine sexual connection with, but currently, I only sleep with one girl, and it's incredible everytime.

    No matter how long it takes, it's worth it. Stay strong. :)

    after about 30 days I kind lost the urge to watch P. I still have it but to a very controllable degree.
    I still view women as sexual objects and I'm struggling hard with it. I don't know about my sensitivity because I need to be with a girl to test it, but I never had problems falling in true love with a girl anyway.

    now on day 70 I'm looking forward to the moment when my urge will subside and I won't want to have sex with every attractive girl I see on the street
     
  5. 1. I MO'd last night and I was shaking by the sensitivity of my penis after 2 weeks dead mode.
    2. 1 week of hard work and I stopped. Afraid some of it might be back now. But we'll see.
    3. Well I haven't had a sexual encounter in almost 2 years so it'll be interesting to see!
    5. Don't know but after 70 days of no porn I wasn't an addict anymore. Atleast to porn.
    6. 1 day after noticing how bad attitude those girls that I am attracted to have in real life.

    Hey bkkguy27. I don't think it would be that much interesting for you to know anything about "how long did it take" because it's quite likely that it will take less/more time for you since we're all different. Anyway I'll try to reply to your questions :)

    1. How long until you felt your natural sensitivity was back?
    -> If you're talking about penis sensitivity here I'm on hard mode, so no E for me... So I don't really know if I have all my sensitivity back, but I'm waaaay more sensitive than before.

    2. How long until you stopped looking at women as objects and instead real people?
    -> I'm almost on Day 50 and I still have a long way to go about this. Anyway after one week of no-PMO my point of view on this already started to change.

    3. How long until you could "make love" and connect during sex?
    -> I'm still virgin. Well I tried to make love once a few years ago and couldn't get it up. Never did it again since.

    5. How long til your cravings for P were as good as gone?
    6. How long til you got rid of those porn aquired fetishes?
    -> You may not trust me but it didn't even take me two weeks of no-PMO to understand how bad P was and that I'd never watch P anymore. Now when I think about those old fetishes (and believe me, it was weird), I'm disgusted.

    You can check my journal if you want more informations. :)
     
  7. 1. How long until you felt your natural sensitivity was back?
    About 2 to 3 months. I tested edging just with touch once and it was really, really close, so I guess I'm rebooted for this. BUT my real reboot, the real moment I wasn't addicted anymore, was at 6 months, definitely. And I'm still working on it. I mean, I think that there isn't any real moment when it's gone forever. You just have to accept the fact that it was the case in your past, but not anymore.

    2. How long until you stopped looking at women as objects and instead real people?
    He, not yet. Well I'm a girl but I still find myself objectifying some guys with lust and also I'm still neck down in love with a singer. So not yet, but I'm confident that one day it will. It can be explained as my PMO addiction was a reaction to my intense loneliness and love cravings.

    3. How long until you could "make love" and connect during sex?
    Sorry I'm in hard mode :) Lonely and free as a bird!

    4. How long until you were satisfied with normal sex with just one (or few) parters (if applicable)?
    Ditto!

    5. How long til your cravings for P were as good as gone?
    Still have 'em. Well not really. It's not craving to WATCH porn. It's craving to remember porn scenes and to masturbate to it. That, that is really hard to avoid. Again that's because I have literally zero sexual experience other than having kissed a guy and hated it. So porn is my only way to deal with "tenderness" and basically, love. (Wow it feels so sad to say know that I realize it. No wonder why I got addicted. It saved my life at the time. Or at least I thought it saved it.)

    6. How long til you got rid of those porn aquired fetishes?
    Still have 'em too. The thing is, I don't know if I got them because of porn. I mean, I was pretty deep into addiction, but quit JUST when I started to develop fetish completely due to thirst for novelty. But there are things I've always been attracted too, ever since before the addiction, but the addiction reinforced them and exposed them to light. I don't think they'll ever go away, but I'm pretty sure I really don't want them to go away.

    I'd like to add that I started cold turkey. This is my first streak, and the only one I'll ever have.

    I wish you all the best for your journey :)
