Hey guys,

Just uploaded my new video to The Reboot Nation YouTube channel. This vid is just a brief history of my porn use leading up to when I had ED, and I also covered what appears to be happening in our brains with porn use. Namely sensitization and desensitization. 

Hope it helps give you guys a new perspective or refreshes some key concepts, and encourages you guys to beat this addiction. Feel free to share it all over the webs, guys are out there with PIED and have no idea porn can be the cause. Join me in the fight for awareness, save a boner and you just might save a life.

Gabe, I love your work. And I congratulate your courage to have shared that and have publicly spoken about your own story without shame. Now, I have a question: Is spending time making out with a real woman or being in proximity to a woman that turns me on, and cuddling with her or just getting physical, going to help me see faster improvement? Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words man.

From what have have seen from successful rebooters, yes. Absolutely. I know those same things helped me tremendously during my reboot.

Yea, tons of respect to you Gabe. I've been on the fence about your advice to tell friends and family about my issues. I just think it would make things worse having everybody put weird pressure on me to "seal the deal" with a girl. I promise when I work my issues out, I'm going to spread awareness about all this stuff. Keep up the good work brother

hen you flatlined did you have no sexual interest with women and how long did last for

I was mentally interested but had absolutely no physical arousal at all when thinking about it, looking at girls, or being with my girl. Just felt like I had a deflated balloon attached to my body for no reason. My flatline was about 6 months, followed by a few months of going in and out of mini flatlines. By 9 months I felt normal enough not to notice anything. and 15 months to consider myself fully recovered as I was able to get an erection to just touch alone. Do not make the mistake of expecting exactly what I went through, EVERYONE has many different variables that can make small or big differences in recovery.

So just commit to it and keep trucking. I hope the best for you. Welcome to the Nation! Much love

Hii Gabe, I have to say that I am very grateful that I came across your youtube video because I can honestly relate to a lot of things that you went through.I am currently 21 years old and A lot of the things that you went through I am going through right now. I struggle with getting aroused around women and my sex life is at an all time low. I am going to take your advice that you have shown in your videos and see how that works out for me and Im going to need all the help and support from everyone on this website.
 
I've never had issues with ED. Probably because dial-up internet was just starting to catch on when I was 17/18 and I've only had my own internet connection for less than five years.

I enjoyed your video, though. Thank you for explaining the basic science behind internet porn issues so well.

Your dog is so cute!

I think most experienced guys would suggest being up front with her about what's going on, because if she thinks you can't get it up because you're not attracted to her, she will leave. If she's really cool, she will stick around when you explain what's up.

In the meantime might as well try some cialis or just get good at going down on your girl.

Unfortunately I relapsed and masturbated on Saturday night.  This was after cumming two nights in a row.  I have not cum two nights in a row since my divorce 4 years ago.

I am ashamed and don?t feel really great about myself, had to reset my counter.  What happened was we were making love many times during the day.  I had no issue getting or staying hard.  She had multiple orgasms. I kept getting so close, literally right on the edge.  I kept telling myself I was ok, that it would happen or pass.  Neither happened.  I had that feeling where I literally could not stand it.  I had to have a release.  She was more than willing to give me a super amazing and very long HJ AND BJ.  But nothing happened, I could not release.  So I masturbated with her there.  I was using my hand and motion and finally I came but I broke the rules.  Now she is back staying at her place and my unit is very sore from overuse but I am so happy about ejaculating twice and also sad that I relapsed.

Did you cum into a flatline?

Thanks Gabe, im new on this site, im from africa, i had the most embarrassing moment of my life when i failed to get hard and have sex with my ex, i didnt handle the situation well either made things really awkward, thats how i found out i have PIED, ever since then i watched a lot of porn and masturbated because i was depressed i couldnt function, since i discovered you and Noah B.E. Church on youtube, started watching your videos, ive been one month free, it still isnt easy, there is a lot of temptation, but your videos give hope of recovery and encourage me to push on, i just want to say thank for all the help you go out of your way to give man
