Saw a great video with Gabe Deem and wanted to give an update

Hello guys!

It is nice to see that this community is still thriving and sharing important and truly life changing knowledge.

I have a reboot account here http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=10800.25 - so I don't want to go too much into depth. I just want to update my story a bit.

Today I saw a story on Danish TV where a guy was brave enough to talk about his problem with girls and impotence. The guy on TV was a virgin and in good shape - not a single person talked about porn as a potential issue! Instead they used the same old psychological explanations about "performance anxiety". This made me realize again just how grateful I am for this community that has really helped me a lot! There are so many (mostly young) people today who are addicted to porn without knowing it and they cannot see the negative consequences of daily porn use. It's so difficult to find a solution to PIED without help because we are conditioned to believing that porn is healthy!

I just want to tell guys here that THEY WILL HEAL. I failed and failed multiple times and I went for 3 years without porn - 3 YEARS. I saw no improvements for the first two years and frankly I stopped believing in this PIED-theory - but I had nothing else, no other explanation for my state, so I decided to continue. Best decision of my life! After 3 years (including more than 6 months without ejaculating) my morning erections started to come back! I had not had such erections for years! Now I always have an erection when I wake up - it's great.

I have a girlfriend now and we have absolutely no problem with sex. We have a great sex life and we have sex regularly. And I can even get hard just by visual stimulation.

So please, be persistent and listen to guys like Gabe and Gary Wilson. They can tell you much about the theory but in the end you have to walk the way yourself. You can read my reboot account if you want advice - although it is pretty chaotic. I am also telling my friends and others about the dangers of porn - but many are really skeptical. I believe this knowledge will become more mainstream in 5-10 years. Unfortunately most guys don't realize it before PIED hits them and throws them into depression. But change your habits sooner rather than later. It's much easier that way!

Hope you guys are all great and thanks so much for helping me change my life with this information!

Holy crap, 3 years! Thanks a lot for sharing your story, people need to hear this.

Thanks for sharing the story. I'm 55 days now, no porn. 15 days no masturbation. Lifeless down there at the moment, I needed to read this story to still have hope!

I am 250 days into no pmo... and will never look back.

It took 3 years, that's really worrying matter. I don't know what the neurological aspects of the healing process but it certainly needs to be looked into. Although going hard mode is next to impossible because of the bombardment of sexual images as well as social interaction which makes the rebooting process very difficult.

Each individual is wired differently, and taking 3 years although uplifting shows a worrying pattern of the extent of 'sexual images' and its impact on society.

Yeah, I haven't PMOed since August 2017 and I'm now where near getting fixed.

No sign whatsoever.

Your story really inspired me to still be hopeful, even I still have hard time getting it up after 7 months of reboot. One question - did you have problems with premature ejaculation after long time of abstinence and how did you fix it?
