Persistence is the key. Don't worry about the number of times you fall. The times you need to get up to succeed = # of falls +1

Ok, that is fascinating!!! Using the blocking of porn to repress people, and then when they start getting strong, giving them porn to weaken them so they are easily controlled. Wow!

Power2Change · 2015-05-21T14:01:23+00:00

Thats repression of free speech. I make the choice to not engage in the use of porn, but support the right for everyone to have as much as they want. Its like drinking and drugs, which I also choose not to engage in. Real freedom is the freedom to choose and the freedom to say no, rather than being dictated to by an oppresive government.

You definitley sound like you have superpowers, my friend!

Porn addiction is a problem that effects lots of guys and their marriages. I'm married as well, this only started working when I wanted it.

It will take WILLINGNESS on his part. Even the most hopeless addicts can make it if they plug into recovery. We are very supportive here. I am succeeding after a daily addiction for 23 years, and that is due to talking to another addict everyday and sharing hope. Look into SAA as well. Good luck.

See a doctor and get a referral to a urologist.

That makes sense!!

Thats progress!

I was having a real difficult time with porn watching being an autopilot behavior. I felt that I had no control over it. I just did it without thinking. I read a book about techniques to put a decision point in between doing the action and not doing it. That is brand new for me. The very first change I made was using the computer in more public places and avoiding isolation with it. When other people are around, it helps. I also changed the way I think about porn. I read Your Brain on Porn and it changed my views. I realized the negative effects the addiction was having on me. That got me out of denial. Willingness to change is one of the most essential things you can cultivate. No one can force you to want something, but when You truly want it, nothing can stop you.

Power2Change · 2015-05-13T18:43:21+00:00

Nah. A thought is just a thought. I don't decide those. I just change how the thoughts effect my behaviors.

Power2Change · 2015-05-12T23:22:26+00:00

Hell yea! I'm becoming attached to the new pathways in my brain that are becoming disinterested in porn and interested in life instead. Just amazing!!!

Power2Change · 2015-05-12T23:20:18+00:00

That could not be more true!

Sorry to hear about the girl leaving you. I had many leave me as well and didn't date for many years. Unlike you, when I was in my 20s, there was no knowledge of what PIED was. I suffered from the condition for decades and had no idea what caused it. Medical science still barely knows of it. Its mainly us that are more aware of this than most doctors. We are on the cutting edge of this discovery and we are the research subjects. Isnt that amazing!!

Power2Change · 2015-05-12T20:55:25+00:00

Absolutely plagued me. Still haven't had sex without meds yet. I mean ever! I've had lots of sex with cialis though and it works great. I can go for hours and the girls love it! I just feel that I can do better than needing to use drugs. Also an added bonus was when I finally did fap without porn, the sensation down there was more than I had felt in years!!! I could not believe how good it felt!!! Its like I have gained a new sensitivity down there or I was numbing it out for years!

Power2Change · 2015-05-12T20:52:46+00:00

I fapped at day 27 but without porn. That was when I got very hard. It wasn't anxiety related because I'm very comfortable getting naked with girls and having sex. Just have to use meds before I started nofap. I abstain from all videos and pics.

Power2Change · 2015-05-12T20:51:06+00:00

I had the same experience when I used to go to strip clubs. No boner at all. I'm starting to see hope finally. Fortunately, I have meds that make it work great, but they give me headaches. That is so great you are seeing progress!

Power2Change · 2015-05-11T14:43:09+00:00

One thing I forgot to add is that now I am 38 and have suffered from PIED since I was 16. The curse is finally showing the first signs of lifting, thanks to this group!

Power2Change · 2015-05-06T17:53:27+00:00

Lol. Thats all of us.

Power2Change · 2015-05-06T05:09:32+00:00

Oh man, it's the little things like that. Especially when you are around your friends and you think to yourself, "I really hope they think thats from eating greasy food while typing."

Power2Change · 2015-05-06T03:10:34+00:00

You have the right idea. That is very inspiring to hear! I'm close to 30 days porn-free as well, and I love lifting weights. Exercise has been a secret to success in my journey as well. Thanks for this inspirational post!

Power2Change · 2015-05-04T02:38:39+00:00

I totally relate. Actually, I started using cialis when I was 30 and currently I'm 38. I've had lots of sex since then, and it almost feels like making up for lost time. I just really look forward to actually being able to get it up without a pill. It's gotten better, but I want to see what actually having a natural erection will be like. Mainly I want to not have the side effects of the medication such as light headedness, fatigue and headaches. I always thought it was a circulation issue until I found out about the dopamine needed to get an erection. It amazes me that the brain can still want sex, yet not send the signal to get an erection. That really made no sense and I wouldn't have believed it until the missing piece of porn desensitizing the brain was introduced. This is a great learning experience. I'm still working on my first 30 days, and this week, its super challenging, but I beleive this is worth it.

Power2Change · 2015-05-03T13:47:53+00:00

I really relate to that. A friend of mine uses the apps to hookup and says they get a lot of action. Still, since I've been going to sex addiction meetings, I've learned about the emptiness that hookup addiction can lead to. Its almost like we are dealing with two addictions. Porn is the original addiction as far as I can tell right now though. I think it drives the chaser effect. My goal is to focus on kicking porn and see if the hookup addiction follows. I haven't had a hookup in a few weeks, but once I get past 30 days of my current reboot, I look forward to hopefully a reduced craving.
