I’m beginning to accept this is a problem I’m going to be stuck with for the rest of my life.
It’s just not going to go away.
I feel like a Darth Vader. A slave to a terrible master.
A penis that won’t work without its life support system and at the mercy of a for profit 3rd party - for the bliss of a more natural erection.
I think I will exhaust every professional solution that exists now, but I am no longer optimistic.
Being exposed to porn at an early age and PE at 17 was the single worst thing that has ever happened in my life.
Let me begin by saying Plasticman that I have also walked in a similar pair of ‘impotence shoes’ so hopefully you will hear me.
My friend I hope you do not mind that I have paraphrased quite a few of your highly inflammatory self-critical statements you have made about yourself from your last post. I have done this to try to highlight to you just how dangerously powerful your thoughts and words can be. I know this is your ‘truth’ from where you currently stand. But please hear me when I say they are not THE truth.
Please re-read these quotes again and then imagine you are reading them like someone else said them. I am sure if your friend (insert name here) said these things about himself, you would not only support and encourage him. You would also tell him to not say those things about himself because it is simply not possible for them to be true (e.g. you are clearly NOT a slave)
Lets look at the facts.
1) You have a degree of impotence.
2) You know from a medical standpoint that impotence is not only treatable but absolutely curable.
3) The fact that you are young and otherwise healthy will make successful treatment that much easier
4) You are currently using against yourself and your well-being, thoughts and words that are actually inflaming your problem.
The fact that you are saying negative things about your situation is understandable as ED is obviously one of the most confronting of all male problems. Just be aware that every time you make a negative statement about yourself or your current problem, you inflame it.
At first blush it may not be easy to suddenly stop saying those things about yourself but that should be your first aim. Remember the expression ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ and then look once again at your quotes. Stop saying those things about yourself. They do not serve you as such words never serve anyone.
Try these quotes on for size:-
It’s my birthday today and today I begin my life afresh.
I am seeking assistance and treatment to ensure I have powerful erections whenever I choose
After all of these years, I have reached the point where I’m completely humbled by my determination.
I now accept that for me anything is possible for the rest of my life.
I feel like Luke Skywalker. A master of my life.
I have a penis I can be proud of and I own the bliss of natural erections.
I am seeking a professional solution that will empower my optimism every day.
Finding Thunders, and getting the help I needed was the single best thing that has ever happened in my life.
Happy Birthday Plasticman
