Hello, I'm Ron. I've used pornography as a substitute for real relationships for longer than I care to admit, but I acknowledged it was a vice, unlike a lot of my peers. I didn't view it as frequently as a lot of people, but I consider myself addicted, since I knew it was self-destructive, I tried to quit, and I continued to use it anyway. I joined this forum because I've been in a relationship with a real girl for over a year, and my weak sex drive and inability to get erections are starting to test our relationship. I attribute a lot of this to my past behavior. For a lot of the year I continued to view pornography and masturbate. Fortunately, I have a bit of a head start at this point. I can't remember the last time I viewed pornography; I estimate it was about a month ago. I have hardly even felt the urge in that time. Thanks for creating this supportive environment. I hope to stick around regularly. -Ron

Thanks for the welcome. Do people continue to have sex while rebooting? I guess I'm a little curious about the definition of "O" in PMO. I don't think my girlfriend would like it if I involved her in the process in that way.
Excuse the bump. I'm still wondering about sex. The site says each reboot is different; is it basically my call to have sex or not? Is no sex what I've seen people call "hard mode"?
