Greetings all! I?m a 44 mwm who has discovered that porn has screwed me up. For my back story, I have always been very sexually actively, in the lifestyle, and happily married. I?ve watched porn off snd on for years, but never had any issues like this before. I?ve had months on end where I would have sex almost daily, sometimes more than once a day. As I got older and my sexual exploits have slowed down, I guess I started supplemented the lack of sex with porn. When I say lack of sex, I?d say it was down to a couple times a week instead of daily. Nothing caused the drawdown, just age, hormones, and situation mostly. I supplemented the sex drawdown with porn. My wife didn?t mind it as she enjoyed it sometimes too.
For the past year or so I?ve noticed a change. The sex I was having started dwindling further snd I was having difficulties getting fully hard. At first I was thinking hormones as I do suffer from low T as well. I was given Viagra from my dr and everything was good. My T levels were fine and I only used the Viagra during play dates and long nights. Things were ok but I still wasn?t right. The past few months I?ve noticed my erections coming less and less when trying to have sex, but would have no problem with porn. I always heard overstimulation could cause issues, but I didn?t think it would ever happen to me. So here I am. Not only is it affecting my sex life, I don?t feel whole anymore. I knew I needed to do something to get me back while.
I decided to give up the porn, give the chatting and writing erotica stories a break. I have continued chatting with friends but nothing sexual is involved. It usually takes a couple weeks for me to get back right but this may take longer this time. I?ve discussed things with my wife and I?m lucky to have an amazing partner. She knows I have been going through libido fluctuations so I told her what I?m doing and it should be the answer we have been looking for. I know it will be a rough road but it will be worth it. So I am on Day 3 with no porn. I?m feeling good and keeping myself occupied with other things. It?s a struggle throughout the day but I just look at the light at the end of the tunnel. I am going back to the gym as well to get back in shape I was a few years ago. I want to be as excited while being intimate with a woman like I used to! And I?ll get there. One thing I do know is that I cannot go back to watching porn snd masturbating numerous times a day.
So.... day 3 and I?m doing well. I think this journal will help me keep focus and help me meet my goal, and stay there. I?m expecting to flatline any day now and just wait it out until I start feeling whole again. I?m looking forward to having sex the way I used to, no matter how long it takes.
