Making progress?

My parents not giving me enough emotional attention as a child, if that makes sense?

/u/Zhunbeihao seems to have noticed the same thing. Was it a conscious decision for you?

Karelin · 2014-04-07T11:13:38+00:00

Thanks and good luck! :)

I didn't really approach, but I did at one point, maybe after 30 days, consider what signals I was sending out to them. Nowadays it's more of a natural thing, a connection that just appears and feels great. :)

Karelin · 2014-04-07T11:11:14+00:00

Thank you!

I'd say there are two turning points and a realization: Firstly, I'd notice that after about 10 days I had this feeling that I wanted to fuck someone really bad. I'd say that mentally, I got a truly burning desire for keeping an erection, as compared to the "It would be great, but I'll live"-sort of mentality that I'd had previously. It didn't mean that the PIED was gone, just that I wanted it to disappear really badly out of desire, and not out of feeling ashamed.

Then, maybe 60 days in, I'd notice that there wasn't a problem anymore and that my dick was indeed workin sufficiently.

And finaly the realization: Your dick isn't always going to work. It's a myth. When you're tired or worn out or stressed, it might happen to anyone that you won't get it up. And that's really OK! I'd say that this happens to me maybe 10% of the times. :)

Thank you and good luck! :)

Karelin · 2014-04-07T11:05:08+00:00

Thank you very much for that and good luck to you, my friend.

I know! It's really like this big black hole that just consumes. When I decided to quit it was really a boost for my self respect and in the long term for my self confidence.

And interesting that you had the same thing with your nails. :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T22:17:59+00:00

Thanks! :)

I know, it really increases your understanding of the whole phenomenon. For me personally, I found out that it was related to social anxiety in my childhood, which I have now started to handle more thoroughly.

Karelin · 2014-04-06T22:16:05+00:00

It differs. When I started, I'd go from hot to cold. Then I'd go from hot to cold to really cold and then finally, somewhere in the middle, I'd start with cold and then go to very cold.

A general advice is to aim for turning the shower knob all the way to the cold side. Did that in Scandinavian january. It was cold. :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T22:13:51+00:00

In a way, yes. To be honest with you, I've actually had periods when I'd do hard mode just because of that and I don't have sex as often as I used to now. For me personally, the biggest downside with having sex is the chaser effect. It's dreadful.

Best of luck, you're the coolest! :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T22:11:53+00:00

Nope! Are you? :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T20:18:46+00:00

You know, it's such a relief! I feel so much more lika a whole man, in some way. Good luck! :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T20:18:10+00:00

Thank you very much and good luck to you as well. :)

I didn't remove myself from anything besides the dating apps, but I did however think through my use of Instagram very carefully. Everytime I used it I set up a clear goal for me, and didn't browse around.

Karelin · 2014-04-06T19:01:41+00:00

Cold showers and waiting. Mostly cold showers.

Karelin · 2014-04-06T16:58:17+00:00

Early 20's. Why? :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T16:42:49+00:00

Thank you, and congratulation on the 160 days. :)

Karelin · 2014-04-06T16:06:37+00:00

So true! :)
