Almost 3 years since I last PMO.
I'm cured, I have sex, I feel fine the next day, I've recently been going for a 2nd just 20 minutes after ejaculation. I've never, EVER been able to do this.
The truth is, I was worse case scenario. Started PMO age 14-15, absolutely loved it. I didn't have a real sexual partner till I was 22-23. I couldn't get it up. Never knew why. Went on for years, sometimes got a half arsed one, and to come I'd really have to work at it. Did it for years, eventually PMO with no hard on. Pathetic. So I quit age 30 when I realised what I'd done. It took me 2 months to get a hard on from a BJ. But for the next 2.5 years I was inconsistent as shit. But I kept going, knowing that my sexual experiences were beginning to get better. Quitting PMO really DOES improve erections, and decrease anxiety. Overstimulation, desensitisation and dopamine receptor weakening is real.
I've had crippling anxiety my entire life, I mean it. Quitting PMO definitely helped. But I still wasn't quite there, despite 2.5 years of strict as hell recovery, working out and discipline. I felt a thousand times better... But not quite myself still.
Couple of months ago I got my hormones done, low T... Dangerously damn low. They put me on a small amount of T gel, and shit... I feel like a dude, for the first time in 15 years. Erection issues, fixed... Anxiety, fixed.
Please don't misunderstand this message. I had the T levels of an 85 year old man, T has put me at a "normal range". A range similar to most of you guys.
My message is, I was worse case... I think I was probably cured after 12 months, but just didn't realise as I had a low T issue going on behind the scenes.
I don't feel like celebrating this. I dedicated so much time to this no PMO. I obsessed over it, researched the shit out of it. Daily I was listening to new podcasts, reading journals, with a sad hope that one day I'd finally be cured. I never stood a chance with the T I had.
I had a varacocele as a kid, that must've killed my T back then, I then got testicular cancer, but the Dr's said "your T is in range"... Yea, thanks Dr's...
My message:
1. PIED worst case scenario is curable with dedication and discipline.
2. Get your hormones checked by a HORMONE Specialist (Endocrinologist?) to rule it out.
3. Don't bullshit yourself or us.
