Very good results after 65 days and question

[Koedam]

My story:

Started heavy PMO when I went living on my own for my study in 2002. When I had my first sexual encounter a couple years later, I could easily get an erection. But very difficult getting an orgasm And the sex wasn't satisfying, even when I came. A PM-orgasm was much, much better.

In 2010 I started with getting erection problems.... Not much later the sleep disease "sleep apnea" was diagnosesed by me. When my apnea was treated, my erections came back in a couple of weeks. So, it looked liked the erection problem was the result of my sleep disease (sleep disease -> bad quality of sleep -> less testosterone -> erection problems).

But my penis was still not sensitive and had still DE-problems.

I told my doctor. And I proposed a circumcision. The doctor told, that it wasn’t a good idea. Later on the internet I read on the internet that one week without an orgasm would lead to a testosterone spike. So, I tried. And it worked. I had very good sex and came easy. But that testosterone spike was gone the second day off course. So the next time I had sex, it was bad as usual. So, I also stopped my first mini-reboot. Although, I didn’t know it was a reboot.

Then I read MyBrainonPorn. My girlfriend is studying abroad, so I had a good reason to reboot for 65 days. Here my results:

-After a week girls were looking at me. I recognised. I think it’s because of girls are attracted to confidence of men. Too much porn -> your brain becomes too much sensitive of the big dopamine shots -> protect itself with not accepting al dopamine -> less dopamine means less confidence  -> less confidence radiation.
-My penis became more sensitive. I didn’t touch it with purpose.
-Not always morning wood, but some hard wood when I woke up early (5 or 6 o clock, when I went to the toilet).

Past weekend and saw my girlfriend. And my results:
-4 times sex : 4 time I could come pretty well. With 3 orgasms which were very, very good.
-1 Blow Job:  I came, which I never managed before during blow jobs.
-Used a condom all the time during sex. I had two kind condoms: One condom I used in the past, but I couldn’t use it any longer. I think my penis has been getting thicker since my reboot! The other condom (a new designed condom by Dutch scientists) I could use. But..it was really tight.

So, Im pretty happy. There is still room for improvement: while the orgasms were the best I ever had with intercourse and I didn’t had DE, the road to the orgasm was good, but it wasn’t as great, as during my mini-reboot (see above). It could be the result of the really tight condom. Any ideas about this?

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to test this time with my girlfriend without a condom.

Too much porn -> very high doses of dopamine in very short periods of time ->  Decline in dopamine (D2) receptors -> Decline in baseline (tonic) dopamine levels

Dopamine and confidence are strong related. Different research says. Just Google: Dopamine and Confidence and you will see the websites describing it.

You are doing great man, good job! I think you should try without condoms if that is possible. They make quite a big difference. And never watch P again! Too many people relapse to P when they start seeing good progress like you do. Good luck!

Good story man.

How did you diagnose and treat your sleep apnea?

I'm asking because I have had serious symptoms of sleep apnea, I often wake up with a headache, and I have had episodes where I wake up gasping for air. I am not overweight but my father and grandfather both had it even though my grandfather was not overweight. I believe it could be a genetic thing affecting size of the throat.

I did take a sleep test but they claimed it came back negative, however since then I have still had episodes of gasping for air and I always feel tired. Also I don't get erections even after abstaining from masturbation.

My sleep apnea test was positive. I had low sleep apnea: only 5 breath stops per hour (if you have lower, you will test negative, because it's "normal" to stop 2 or 3 times), but when I had a breath stop, I had very servere oxygen desaturation levels. So, that had an impact with me.

To measure your sleeping: record how much you snore at night. There a different apps for your phone. I use: dream pro app.

If you snore a lot, and you test negative for a sleep apnea test, there are a lot of dentists who make an apnea bracelet, so you could get rid of your snoring and probably it will improve your sleep.Concerning to apnea: someone who has apnea and stops with snoring after using the bracelet, he is healed.

Gentlemen. I've been pmo free  for 37 days or something  like that. My wife and I had lovin this  weekend, I was probably  75 or 80 percent  hard. I'm so happy. I've  had pied, for many years. This reboot  is one of the best things I could've  done for myself,  or my wife. What an incredible experience I had this weekend. All the sh*t  I've put up with this last month, was waaaay worth it keep strong  rebooters.
