What happened was that I basically lost my libido completely due to having to take severe antihistamines which I got prescribed by a doctor. It was a gradual process, I recognized that I was having longer and longer streaks, but right now, I just hit a point where I feel nothing. Not relying on PMO doesn't feel scarry anymore. I mean, I also didn't PMO when I was a child and in fact I was way happier than I'm right now. It may sound strange but having no libido as the result of some heavy allergy medication feels great. My mind is free. I can spend more energy and time on other stuff. It's great I also don't feel aroused by my fetishes. I just started to find them boring. I actually do feel like when I was a kid again to be honest, like that excitement a kid has about the whole big world. It's a good feeling, it motivates me. Counter is wrong, I'm day 10 right now. I can confidently say that this streak will be a long one, I literally am unable to get an erection other than by morning wood. Dick is completely dead. I won't delete my account. So if you have some allergies, antihistamines could help you do NoFap. Consult your doctor first before you take some.
I have no idea why this is in the success stories section, but I hope you go on to lead a NoFap life....
Sounds like you may be in a flatline. Don't be surprised if your libido comes roaring back at some point...and fluctuates for a bit before you find true equilibrium. All the best with your recovery.
I think it's the meds. Since I started taking them a couple of months ago, I was able to get longer and longer streaks. 14 day streaks seemed impossible, but with those antihistamines, it's nothing, a walk in the park. I still used to relapse, but I think I'm done right now. Maybe I will relapse in the future, but not right now in the near future. I mean, I when I relapsed the last time after a streak of 10 days, I was losing my erection all the time as I thought that it's stupid what I'm doing and that I don't find it that arousing.
You dont need to lose your libido, you need to equilibrate It and realocate this libido in purpose to reach deep connections in life and to better your human being. A more spiritual, philosophical, and humanist aproach of your journey can help you. Love yourself
Of course you didn't loose your libido. You now develop a medicine addiction upon your pmo addiction. As soon as you stop the medicine your pmo urges are back. And nothing will be solved.
Alright good luck man, but leaving this forum will probably hurt your chance of making this 90 day streak. Don't be afraid to check out this site every once in a while, even for non-reboot related stuff.
Great to hear things are on the upside. In the meantime try to build some positive sexual habits because they're enjoyable, but also as a first defense in case your libido comes back and PMO urges are right behind.
I miss this feeling to my hearts content. Over the summer I was put on steroids for a immune problem to rev up my system, just like you my Penis was completely dead, erections weren't even firm. Absolutely horrible to take them. I'd have 5-6 day streaks. Felt more like working on stuff, but it effected my vision and moral happiness. i literally spent a day in bed closing myself off from everything. The drugs can help, they can reduce your urges and libido, more importantly are they really making your life happy? Are they worth it? It feels like my stomach is pushed out now from the aftermath of taking them. Not the same flat stomach I had before.
