I found out I had porn induced erectile dysfunction – literally last year when I couldn’t perform with a beautiful woman. I started my reboot July of 2015 and I can say I have been free from porn for a year now. It was tough but worth it at the end.
I don’t want to get too deep into my story but explain what helped me achieve an almost be cured from PIED. Withdrawals were the worst. Craving porn or just thinking of masturbating which led to thinking about porn.
I can say one of my main keys to beating PIED was the gym…anytime I thought or felt depressed about my situation I got in that gym and I hit the weights as hard as I could..took out all my frustrations and I always left the gym a better man. Not only did I feel relieved but I felt more confident about myself.
Trust me guys, the gym or any type of physical activity whether it be swimming or hiking is very therapeutic and I guarantee you will build a stronger resistance to watching porn or masturbating and thinking about porn. Get out there and give yourself a physical goal. For example I want to be able to bench 285 or I want to be able to run 6 miles nonstop. Goals will keep your mind busy in a positive way. You will become stronger both mentally and physically.
Now another thing that helped me in the middle of my reboot was to quit drinking or smoking Marijuana for a while. Honestly I would be at a party or club and I tend to drink and on occasion smoke weed. When I would get home I would watch porn for hours and masturbate. What I’m trying to say is that I did this for so many years that my drinking and smoking was associated with me watching porn and masturbating like crazy. Could it have been that my heavy drinking and smoking was somehow linked to me watching porn? I think it was. It was a way higher chance for me to masturbate to porn if I was under the influence of alcohol and Marijuana. At the end of the day with me stopping this, I was able to think clearer, be more focused, and had more of a chance to resist porn.
Last but not least get out there and live. My big mistake was that I isolated myself from society when I found out I had PIED. I was so ashamed and embarrassed that for at least 6 months I would work and go straight home. But u guys know rewiring is also part of the reboot journey. I was terrified to talk with girls because I thought at the end of the night I was gonna go back to their spot and not be able to perform.
But I learned that when I went out I had to stop thinking of sex and my condition and just have a good time.
Rewiring doesn’t necessarily mean having sex. Just talking to girl and having a good conversation helps rewire the brain. I can say I’m really close to a successful reboot: morning wood is back; just talking to a beautiful woman or just even play fighting gives me a boner.
I can say it’s been tough road. Times where I lost hope and nights where I cried myself to sleep but I never gave up and I kept fighting. And I tell the nation to do the same. This condition and the journey that comes with it will only make you stronger. if u guys have any question I would be honored to answer them.
I would like to thank Gabe Deem because if I didn’t stumble on one of your YouTube videos I don’t how I would of dealt with this situation. Thanks to God first and then you that I’m getting my life back.
Much love to the nation
