Before I start my reboot in 10 days, I'd like to talk a little about some of the problems I have and the emotions I feel. This is to reach out to anyone else who may be experiencing similar problems but haven't read much about it or would like to offer/ask for advice.
I'm going to start with a bit about my battle with depersonalization and derealization, which I believe stem from my porn use.

I'm not planning to update this blog on a daily basis, but I felt that today was important in tracking my progress. For the first time since starting my reboot, I've felt the beginning of withdrawal symptoms.

Seems like there are some pretty interesting opinons on whether a fleshlight is useful or not. Well, I have an interesting update on that. So I got mine and was curious to see if it could be the tool I thought it might, one that would help resensitize me. Interestingly enough, I went for a full 2 hours (taking breaks in between 
) with a 75-80% erection and was unable to finish! I was at least happy to find that I could maintain an erection without having to squeeze my penis to death.

Tired of my pathetic excuses yet? I've been at home this christmas, and managed about 14 days porn free before relapsing with my portable. I think the main trigger point was feeling sorry for myself. The christmas has gone well (by the standards of my family) But my brother caught my head in a choke hold just for fun, and now I have had pain in my neck for about a week. He is a brute, and hopefully it's not a slipped disc.

Today marks day 46 of no PMO.
I stumbled on YBOP website after realising I had some trouble getting erections when masturbating. My erections are now becoming spontaneous and I have morning wood -definitely a good sign of sexual health- but that is not really what I feel concerned about.
I've read other user's stories about "feeling good again", "having the colours come back to their life", "becoming social and self-confident".

Day 29 11/19/11: I had a chaser effect and MOed again. I only lasted a few minutes but thankfully I wasn't a 10 second man like earlier today. Still in a good spot emotionally. I can't sleep though. I have a prescription for sleeping pills that I may start taking again. I wanted to avoid taking them just so things could be natural but it has been a real struggle to get to bed. I've really been working on cutting out the fantasizing and daydreaming so maybe that is the culprit behind my sleep struggles. I still daydream but for a much shorter duration.

I had an strange conversation with a friend yesterday. My problem, as I see it is a long term PMO addiction. My friend admitted to me 2 years ago to having a serious sex addiction, porn and quick physical hookups with random women. This led to the end of his marriage of about 18 years. He told me he had found the love of his life about 6 months ago and was very happy.
I called yesterday to ask for any addiction "pointers" , he had relapsed into his meaningless sex with women he does not know and was caught by his "love". He has lost his "true love".

Hi,
I've been around for a while, reading some of your stories and experiences with rebooting. I'd like to thank everyone who is sharing their thoughts here. It was very helpful.
I wanted to share my own story. Hoping to get some feedback from you guys. Maybe it also help someone. Please excuse my bad english, I'm not a native speaker.

When I was about 23 years old, I used to consider myself pretty good in bed. Sometimes I was a bit shy around girls, but I was always able to get over it. I've got no problem geting it up and minimum problems with premature ejaculation.

I've been reading blogs and forum posts on this site for a while and I decided to make an account. I'm a 16 year old boy/man and I've been addicted to porn and masturbation since I was 12. I've only recently realised how much this has affected my life, when I was young I was carefree but as I grew older I started to become extremely depressed, unmotivated and shy I feel like I've wasted enough of my life at this point and I'm determined to stop this addiction.
