Just wanted to say that the whole reboot/break thing really does help!
For my dude he’s been having PIED and performance anxiety. He’s eliminated porn entirely and we took a break from all things sexual from any sexual contact between us to even watching movies and making sure there were no nude/sex scenes (that part is temporary… Just wanted to do a whole break)
After about a week of no sexual contact and several weeks of eliminating porn, so far, so good. He says he’s feeling more natural urges since his sex drive had also been struggling. He can maintain an erection even though it did fluctuate a bit and he was afraid he was losing it (nope he was wrong thankfully!) and finally is able to ejaculate with just sex IRL which is awesome.
This progress is great. ED is the worst. I’m not a guy but holy shit I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be. And then if it turns into a vicious cycle is hard to break. But we’re breaking out of that!! It’s a huge relief to have some progress. I know he’s happy too.
