Topic: 2 years no PM, no progress at all..

Greetings all,  (i must have put this article in the wrong section previously, i apologize for that)

I am definitely wondering if sth will ever change to the good. Here's my story:
Its been 2 years since i last watched Porn or Masturbated. I can say no progress at all so far.

History:
- Age 17-21 constant intercourse 3-4 days a week, 2-3 times those days with short refractory periods, hard and lasting erections long sex sessions.
- After age 21, no intercourse for 7-8 months, with 1-2 times daily PMO. No escalations, normal P, a lot of novelty though.
- After those 8 months, gorgeous girl cant get and keep it up. Googled the problem and find out it fits perfectly for me.
- Checked by several urologists cardiologists and other docs, cant find a thing. Say Im perfectly healthy.

Up to now:
- Been 2 years since I started my reboot. I've had several 1 month HARD mode streaks (im in such now), and one 100 day streak of no PMO at all. I've had a lot of intercourse in those 2 years but not much improvement than before the start of the reboot. I only feel some minor progress if i have intercourse 4-5 days in succession (every day..).
- Started exercising a lot (im fit), non-smoker, non-drinker and eating healthy. I've also had a lot of cold showers in this 2 years and ate a lot of nutty food.
- The only change i've noticed is having more vivid dreams, which wasnt the case before the start of my reboot. I've had about 10 wet dreams.
- The past month, i'm in a total flatline, no wet dreams at all, no morning wood at all (during my 2 year reboot, there would be days with some Morning wood)
- Luckily im with the same gf, talked to her about it, she sees no probs at all. (ofc thats what she would say)
- A lot of cuddling, rewiring, and some meditation.
- The only O in the past 2 years were from intercourse. I have never looked at P and i dont think I miss it.

Questions:
- Why isnt there any improvement, what else should i do?
- Can this PIED effect male fertility?

Starting to lose hope now..

You say you're having "a lot of intercourse," so what's the problem? That would be a huge victory for a lot of us rebooters, like myself.

I wonder why it's taking you so long?

Damn, that sucks. I hope that doesn't mean bad news for my reboot.

Some random things come to mind:

- It is a fact that stress, anxiety etc. have a negative effect on libido and sex. Do you have any such issues going on?
- Your gf is aware of the situation, but are you sure that you don't have any performance anxiety in sex situations?
- Have you tried to see a sex therapist? Since you have a steady partner, it is possible to try the therapy together with your partner as well.
- When was the last time you did the PIED test? Are you able to M without P? I am not suggesting that you break your streak for it, but if your performance is the same with or without P, then you know that P is no longer a factor in your condition.

Thank you for your detailed answer.
-I might have developed some anxiety since its been so long with no results.
- Maybe seeing a sex therapist is not a bad idea, i will consider it.
- I havent M for 2 years now. All O-s were with the gf. I think I cant get it up without manually stimulating it (just from thoughts).
Im really running out of ideas, tnx all for helping :/

A few years ago you could hardly find a success story that took more than a year, tops.  It seems like there are more and more being published that took two years plus.  You might just be someone who falls into that category. 

One change worth mentioning is lower concentration levels and memory, brain fog, no motivation for doing anything, tiredness etc.

And when i started rebooting i thought i was not so serious case.. Had previous sexual experiance of 3+ years, 8 months of PMO 1-2 times per day, with no escalations to gay trans etc. Now im sitting here 2 years after, feeling a complete sh!t. Hopefully im not in the "lifelong rebooters" category.
