While most of the world will resolve to lose weight, stop smoking, etc., my resolutions are going to be focused around beating PFS.
What are your PFS resolutions?
All same things you listed and will try some natural medicines which are available next spring. I collect them myself from nature and report did they help.
Do you think fourth issue is hard to deal with and how about if you decide to continue it after 90 days?
Nice! I think I will also try to take on some of yours as well, especially low stress and swimming.
I think abstaining from porn and masturbation could be helpful. I used to think it was bs, but I have a friend who was suffering from Erectile dysfunction and low libido (not related to finasteride). He stopped porn and masturbation for 90 days to “reboot” his brain as he put it. At first i thought it was ridiculous, but he said that after 90 days his ED was completely cured, he had renewed libido, and all of a sudden i noticed he had a new zest about him. I read somewhere that porn can be like an addiction - constantly looking at it to get the dopamine surge until you look at it so much your dopamine receptors fizzle out and it takes more and more just to get an erection normally.
Good luck to you!
Yes, of course, pfs is due to watching too much porn…
Cute sarcasm, dude. I didn’t say it was caused by watching too much porn. It’s also not caused by eating unhealthy foods, drinking alcohol, or lack of exercise, but changing ones lifestyle can lead to improvements in all of those areas. Look at all of the people who have improved mentally by following a clean diet. Obviously it isn’t a cure, but I do believe that there are lots of things that we can at least try to HELP our situation.
Did you really need to post just to be an asshole? Good luck in your recovery man, but just remember, it’s usually the people who try to make any positive changes in their lives who are the ones that are most likely to recover.
To add to this, jeff, you are very wise in your plans and observations. I have known for well over a year now that back to back nights of masturbation have always sparked periods of depression/bad sleep/anxiety/etc. for me. I have been spacing masturbation to every 3 or 4 days, sometimes once a week. Until two nights ago (when I wanked twice in two days), I was having a pretty wonderful week, all things considered. Was funny, talkative, and engaged in life more than usual. I stay active (fairly intense games of basketball twice a week) and still lift weights daily (never intense sessions, I just use dumbbells in my house, do push-ups, and do pull ups with my door gym) and it helps, without a doubt. Maybe I can’t speak of everyone’s situation, but those who struggle with depression and brain fog should really consider cutting back on orgasms. However, I will say it seems to be a double edge sword in that if I masturbate more, it tends to keep my libido up, but I feel worse. Which I think is why most guys here cannot decide one way or the other.
