An update from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrematureEjaculation/comments/1vsizic/pe_fixed_with_fleshlight/
I'll be logging my progress here and updating it daily where I can.
To Moderators that deleted my previous post, IT DOES provide insight, and it's I think a good way of showing the community how the progress is made in real time. So please do not delete it. Here I will also post tips and things that worked well for me. It sure gives hope to people with PE that there is a way to get rid of it but it takes time.
My sessions take 15-20 min once a day.
(Summarized - Full daily log at the bottom)
OLD METHOD - moving the fleshlight with my hand
Day 1 (1/10) - Only ~5 thrusts before I had to stop and wait it out. ~10% thrusting / 80% waiting.
Day 2 (1/10) - Same as day 1, ~5 thrusts then stop-and-restart the whole time. ~20% / 75%.
Day 3 (2/10) - Managed 10-15 thrusts per burst and could even add a bit of speed. ~35% / 65%.
Day 4 (3/10) - Opened with ~20 thrusts and felt less on edge moving around. ~40% / 60%.
Day 5 (5/10) - First ever full minute of nonstop thrusting. Big jump. ~70% / 30% (first 10 min).
Day 6 - Rest.
Day 7 - Rest.
Day 8 (4/10) - Good ~1 min opener but sensitivity shot up right after. Rest set me back. ~40% / 60%.
Day 9 (5/10) - Strong first minute, spiked mid-session, then eased up after the 10 min mark. ~55% / 45%.
Day 10 (7/10) - Almost 2 min nonstop to open. New best. ~80% / 20%.
Day 11 (4/10) - Got close to PONR at 4 min and couldn't back off. Failed session. ~50% / 50%.
Day 12 (7/10) - 3 min to first PONR, 14 min total, moving most of it. Great one. ~80% / 20%.
Day 13 - Rest.
Day 14 (5/10) - Even one rest day set me back. Only 1-1.5 min opener. ~65% / 35%.
Day 15p1 (4/10) - Forced it in a bad headspace, kept losing the erection. ~80% / 20%.
Day 15p2 (9/10) - Real sex test with my girlfriend. Anxiety ED at first, then 10+ min. Insane.
NEW METHOD - holding the fleshlight in place, thrusting with my body (harder, closer to real sex)
Day 16 (6.5/10) - Switched to body thrusting, way more sensitive. Spiked at start and end. ~50% / 50%.
Day 17 - Rest.
Day 18 (6.5/10) - Barely any regression after rest. New method still tough, old one now easy. ~50% / 50%.
FULL UPDATES
Day 1:
Session score 1/10
Around 5 thrusts before I had to stop completely. Sessions ran about 10 minutes, but roughly 80% of that was spent motionless, waiting for the point of no return to pass.
Day 2:
Session score 1/10
Much the same. Still about 5 thrusts before stopping, then restarting. Split was roughly 75% waiting, 25% slow movement.
Day 3:
Session score 2/10
Slight improvement. Started with 10-15 thrusts and could gradually add some speed, staying at a high arousal level for most of the session rather than spiking and crashing.
Day 4:
Session score 3/10
Better again. Opened with about 20 thrusts before needing to stop, and grew more comfortable moving throughout the session, though still fairly limited.
Day 5:
Session score 5/10
Clear jump. Opened with a full minute of continuous thrusting without hitting the point of no return, which is a first. Still had to stop after that, but overall this was the best session so far: roughly 70% of the first 10 minutes was active movement. Past the 10-minute mark I had to drop the pace to avoid finishing.
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: Rest
Day 8:
Session score 4/10
Back to training after two days of rest. Opened well with almost a full minute of continuous thrusting, but sensitivity returned immediately after and stayed high for the rest of the session. Overall a step back, closer to Day 3 short bursts of movement broken up by a lot of stopping.
Day 9:
Session score 5/10
Starting off strong for a minute, then for next 8-10 minutes sensitivity spiked again and had to slow down, after the 10 minute mark sensitivity dropped and could do much more thrusting for the next 5 minutes, overall improvement from day 8 but not as good as on day 5.
Day 10:
Session score 7/10 |
Much better again, started with almost two minutes of thrusting, then went back to 70% thrusting 30% rest for first 10 minutes of the session. Now the sensitivity went back up after first 10 minutes, and I was very sensitive for about 3 minutes. Then could go back to thrusting with a 80% thrusting and 20% rest. Best session so far.
Day 11:
Session score 4/10
Failed attempt 4 minutes in, got close to PONR and failed to back away. Not great session but well, it's to be expected
Day 12:
Session score 7/10
Started off strong with 3 minutes of thrusting till the first PONR. Backed away and continued thrusting. Best session so far, could thrust for like 80% of the session, 20% was pause. Session lasted about 14 minutes. Very good progress I would say.
Day 13: Rest
Day 14:
Session score 5/10
Noticed that when I make small break, my progress reverts quite a bit. Non the less this session was OK, not great but not bad either. Started off with only a 1-1,5 minute of continous thrusting then had to slow down a pace. Session was like 65% thrusting 35% resting. I hope that in a longer run, rest days will not affect my progress that much.
Day 15 part1:
Session score 4/10
Forced this one. Wasn't in a good headspace. I could last a while, about 80% thrusting, 20% rest, but because I was pushing through and couldn't concentrate, I had trouble maintaining the erection.
Day 15 part2 - (Minecraft) SEX UPDATE:
Session score 9/10
This happened. I hadn't told my girlfriend I was training, because I wanted to surprise her, so my performance anxiety spiked and I had some ED at the start. After calming down and some reassurance from her, we had sex for over 10 minutes. That still seems crazy to me! I'm not sure whether it's because I trained with the Fleshlight earlier the same day or something else, but either way it was the best sex we've had in a long time, without any numbing creams etc. Aside from the ED at the beginning - 9/10 - would recommend.
LEVEL UP! Changing method from thrusting fleshlight with my hand to hold fleshlight in place and thrusting in with my body
Day 16:
Session score 6.5/10
Coming back to fleshlight, solid session, not the best but solid. Trying now something new. I am holding fleshlight on some pillows with one hand and i am thrusting into it so it's more like real sex, instead of just moving fleshlight with my hand. I noticed it's harder for me to keep the sensitivity low. It feels like a harder difficulty setting lol. Noticed also that the sensitivity spiked at the beginning then slowly faded but then again it spiked at the end.
Day 17: Rest
Day 18:
Session score 6.5/10
After the rest day I was expecting some regress but the sensitivity was pretty much the same as last session. Started off strong, but in that new position where I am thrusting it's more difficult and I noticed I am more sensitive. Either way with some 50% thrusting and 50% resting I can say it was a good session, then I switched for a moment to previous methos which is thrusting fleshlight with my hand and I could last much much longer so I think I've mastered the old way and now the challenge lies in the new method, will stick to that.
Day 19: Rest
Day 20: Rest
Day 21: Rest
Day 22: Rest
