▲ 14 r/POIS

Life with POIS since 2016

I’m 30M, and have suffered for the last 10 years. I have taken 50+ supplements and the only thing that maybe helped a little bit was omega 3, vit D, vit E and perhaps zinc.

I don’t watch porn anymore and I don’t ever masturbate. I only ejaculate during sex and it still makes me sick for days!

Porn and masturbation is worse, but sex with ejaculation still triggers POIS unfortunately.

I still don’t know the cause. I think it has to do with prolactin, dopamine receptors, GABA and maybe cortisol.

I get some relief with lorazepam (benzo), but it’s only temporary. The best cure after 10 years is still ABSTINENCE.

Is there something you have taken / tested that cures or helps you?

Dead Dick - No Libido

I’m an experienced retainer but on my recent streak of about 1 month, I can’t get sexually aroused.

When I’m alone, sometimes I’ll get random erections but when I’m with a girl, my dick is dead. No arousal while making out.

Has anyone had similar experiences? Is this normal?

Guard Your Eyes

Summer is coming and more skin is going to get exposed. Women start wearing light garments and thus butts, legs, feet and breasts are going to be more visible.

If you want to commit to this path and build a good streak you have to eradicate lust. To do so, the first and most important thing to do, is to: PROTECT YOUR EYES.

Don’t look where you aren’t supposed to look. Every time a hot woman passes by, it’s a test. If you don’t look, you will be rewarded.

This is called “rewiring” your brain.

Do it long enough and eventually you will build an IRON discipline and your mind will be purified. You will notice that women start to look just like normal beautiful people again. Anxiety will be gone, your mind becomes pure and you won’t think about nonsense all day long.

Lust is your greatest enemy. Stop looking at women in a lustful way, stop looking at girls on social media.

You will be RE-WIRED, RE-FOCUSED and RE-BORN.
