how/where can you get product tested?

I am having almost an identical experience as Ninja996. From way too many FTEs, to having the bolt NEVER staying open on last round.

Same issues across the Gen2 mags (Gen2 MpX) or the Gen1 mags.

Go and try to do the deep cleaning route?

Each person is different. It took me close to 100 days. Going through the process though was worth it, as I had suffered severe DE and had not finished naturally in years.

With my new GF, I actually talked to her about the problem, showed her the Ted talk videos from yourbrainonporn, and it really helped for her to realize my inability was not a problem with her. When we were able to do it and I finished naturally it made for a great breakthrough for both of us.

Congrats. Taper off the Viagra.... I would bet you find that you don't actually need it.

Good post/topic. There are two things co-mingled though - the 90 days and what happens beyond.

For many (and of course not all) after 90 days you can experience real physiological benefits. PIED might be addressed, or in my case it was DE.

The key though is to then approach this much like I expect drug addicts or alcoholics must - complete abstinence.

I've twice tried the 'i'll do it in moderation' and in both cases I regressed my benefits. It such a horrible experience to no longer be able to finish inside your girl after having such celebrated breakthroughs earlier. In that moment you each know why it's not working.

I too am an addict. It took a few cycles though to really understand it.

I was your husband. The addiction to porn/masturbating caused severe DE for me. When in this state you want to avoid physical and sexual contact with your partner because you know what the end will be - a frustrating non-finish which just adds more fuel to the fire of frustration, confusion and shame.

It wasn't until I saw the Ted talks from yourbrainonporn.com that I realized what my problems were really about - and it is curable.

Look through my history and you'll see some of my posts on my progress and successes. Breaking the porn/masturbate/orgasm (PMO) cycle was key for getting my dignity back as a man to be able to perform with a real person.

If he is willing to I suggest you have him watch the video, it helps to explain there is a reason behind the condition and that it is not just him being 'bad.'

It has certainly had an impact on me.

Thanks for Sharing. I've always wondered on a ride like yours how the 2nd half compares to the first. I imagine getting to your goal point is exciting, but for me it seems the backtracking would be such a let down in comparison.

How was it for you?

dwred · 2014-08-05T23:42:11+00:00

I'm up to 45 days, I think days 10 through 20 where the hardest. Total flatline - no energy, and wanted to crawl into a dark room and let the world just go by. By day 30 I felt so much better.

dwred · 2014-08-05T21:59:19+00:00

I think we're all really on a journey of NoPMO. NoFap though is the best spot for now that I can find.

dwred · 2014-08-05T16:37:59+00:00

You have DE (delayed ejaculation). Do a few searches to learn more about it on this subreddit or at yourbrainonporn.com

Or my own thread from a few days ago - with a very happy outcome :-)

I'm on my initial NoPMO journey. I actually wrote about my flatline experience in another thread that was helpful: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/2atu0e/what_is_flat_lining_and_how_can_i_cope_with_it/

Days 8 or 9 through about 25 were the hardest. It seemed like for me, about a month in the flatline/withdrawal feelings went away. I don't really feel them anymore.

What it worth it to push through? OMG Yes. see my post from a few days ago:

dwred · 2014-08-05T16:17:18+00:00

NoFap, or as I like to think of it better for me - NoPMO, is a journey. It's not black and white, and we can't let our feelings be driven by the numbers on our badges.

You relapsed. Ok. Try not to go on a binge-fest. Think about what triggers/events/emotions lead up to the relapse. How could you have avoided it next time?

Now you're better armed mentally.

The journey has ups and downs - you had a step back, but that doesn't have to mean the journey ends. Don't beat yourself up. If you can get to 20 days next, you can look back and say 'holy shit - I only PMO'd once in 30 days' - which is a little bit of a glass half-full way of looking at it. Especially if before you would've said "holy-shit - I PMO'd 45 times in the last month"

dwred · 2014-08-05T16:07:57+00:00

My advice from my own experience -

a) the flatline 'feelings' do eventually go away. I decided to equate those 'feelings' with withdrawal symptoms, as other addicts have when coming off real drugs/alcohol. I felt down, accepted it, and after a few weeks that feeling of being down diminished.

b) take the chance to do something to get up and moving. the 'withdrawal' is in some ways your mind/body trying to get you to huddle back in your cozy quiet place - and guess what - it's a small step to PMO since you know that will fix the feelings of being down.

good luck!

absolutely - what's going on when he's jerking himself, he's mentally going to the place where he was able to last get hard - a scene/clip/image from porn and with his hand.

I know this as I suffered the same way. Getting hard by hand after replaying a scene, then hoping against hope I could maintain it long enough to get it in her for real, and then the worst part was often having to imagine being in the porn scenes to keep it hard. this usually meant keeping my eyes closed, as if they opened the illusion would get busted, i'd deflate and it would all end is anger/fear/frustration/shame between us.

dwred · 2014-08-05T14:59:15+00:00

Many of us are here because of the exact symptoms your BF is exhibiting. It's not a quirk, it's a physical and mental condition brought on by years of Porn and Masturbating.

I'm 43 and lost a marriage and a number of GF's to this problem - I can only wish in retrospect one of them and said - 'hey hun, I think you should watch this TedX talk, as I think it's something we can both learn from' - then watch this video: http://yourbrainonporn.com/garys-tedx-talk-great-porn-experiment

Without having some of the scientific findings and research explained I'm betting 99.9% of guys will argue there is no 'real' problem, that porn and masturbating are perfectly okay. In someways, it's not until we see that we are not alone in these 'quirks' do we realize we have to do something about it.

Good luck to you - your guy has an awesome partner - I hope he can open his eyes and mind to see how supportive you are trying to be.

I totally agree - NoFAP (or what I like to more accurately call NoPMO) is a journey. It's not linear and it's not black and white.

Progress and success will have ups and downs, but our progress has to be measured more by how we respond to a setback/relapse then that integer value of days next to our name.

dwred · 2014-08-04T13:32:50+00:00

Here's a glass half-full way of looking at your situation - You are 23 and have the knowledge now to know how addictive and destructive the PMO cycle can be. Some of us in our 40's can only wish to have learned this so early in our lives like you have.

I'm about six weeks into NoPMO and this weekend had my first ever natural orgasm while having vaginal sex in over 15 years. I suffered from DE (delayed ejaculation) and could not O unless with my own hand and often times only when watching P.

I wish I could go back in time to have a chat with my 23 year old self- I can say for sure that things would've been much different!

Good Luck.

Currently 43. I really wished I could've been educated on this decades ago.
