Sup poiser's.
I'm a 19yo male, I had PIOS since I was 17, the symptoms developed massively when I was 18.
and today (19yo) I have finally discovered that I'm facing POIS as well, I couldn't help myself from posting this my first time I take it off my chest after years of concealmenting.
boy, such an exhilaration I felt after reading your posts, seeing people facing your same condition after years of wondering crying really gives me a massive relief.
I've never cried this much today in my entire life after discovering what I'm really facing, this forum is a treasure for me thank god there are some people in this earth experiencing what I have [no offense but at least it gives me a relief].
It's like meeting another human beings in after years of living alone in earth with no idea at all about what happend.
I started animating videos and multimedia stuff when I was 15 and I really was good at it, everything was going smoothly until I reached 17, after a couple of nights masturbating the symptoms started to appear, they were so swift and light that they wouldn't obstruct me, but months after months my progression in highschool, my projects for the clinets really started to reach a very low level.
low marks at highschool, low progression with my clients projects, pushing people back. until I realized that I have "symptoms", my researching skills were pretty low due to the POIS that I couldn't even found the disease name, I can't litrally function, during the survival period(the weeks I take until my body restore my fill energy) I was only able to eat and watch movies then go to bed.
so I convinced myself that my problem is definitely from ejaculation, after graduation I stayed at home for an entire year, trying to beat it in many ways I tried to create treatments by myself(shoelace around my dick, excercising, religion treatment, tricking my mind that it's fine) and telling myself I can cure it! there is no need for a doctor.
the only thing that partily worked is the shoelace, I use it during final exams and very serious events, I still use this method.
but I was only beating an endless nightmare, I was avoiding my father as much as possible because I was ashamed of what a person I became after the symptoms(lazy af).
I tried to explain to my parents what I'm facing they think I'm only exaggerating, I don't blame them actually, after all It's a rare disease.
the worst part of pois is that you can't even describe it to someone so he can feels you!, but thank god after I learned about POIS, I was able to explain to my parents in a professional way how I suffer.
Eventually after 1 year of staying home doing nothing, I told them the only way to beat this thing is to avoid MB as much as possible, I told them that during this year I tried everything (exercising, fitness, religion stuff) nothing worked, they told me to go to a psychiatrist but I was too pride about it.
I told them I can do this myself just give me time, afterwards I told them the only way I can abandon masturbation habit is to go study overseas alone, they tried to talk me out of it I told them if suicide is an option I would do it![due to religion matters we can't suicide], they realized how much I'm suffering finally and they approved it, I was genuinely thinking that the only way I can abandon the masturbation habit was to go through a living-hell [live overseas alone with POIS, with no experience what so ever on living by myself]
now It's been 3 months for me studying overseas It's not bad at all, but my symptoms are still the same, but I'm having less masturbating habits right now And I'm planning to continue with this.
which brings me to the theory that I was trying my best to test it but with no luck.
what if POIS'er tried to avoid any sexual habits what so ever for a 3-6 months or even a year, would the POIS vanish for ever?
when I first discovered I have symptoms I was in an incredible shock, the first thing came to mind is what If I just abandon masturbating for a long time then I masturbate again, would these symptoms just vanish?
since then(2 years) I only managed to last until 3 weeks with no masturbating, eventually after ejaculation I still have the symptoms.
so I want to ask you guys if you tested what I'm trying to test?
are some of you tried to avoid any sexual activity for a long long time[3-6 months] and ejaculated again? you felt any difference?
I really miss my golden days before POIS, everyday I think what a beautiful character I would become If I don't have this nightmare, or should I say Death Sentence!
I'm planning to make an animation film about the POIS after I cure my own POIS, after all, we need to show to people how much we really suffer from this, and what a simpler way to explain it through a simple animated film about it.
after today I decided to finally visit a psychiatrist, I can finally explain it so eaisly.
This is a historical day that I will never forget, it really gives me massive push forward after years of despair and hoplessness.
Here are some Pro tips that really helped me to abstain masturbation temporairly:wrap an armor around your penis.As for me I use: piece of clothing, long ballon, thick tape.
Basiclly start cutting the piece of cloth until it fits the thickness of your penis(you will eventually wrap it around your penis).
imagine a half sized cheque, this is the perfect size for it I believe
afterwards start wrapping it around your penis (try to cover the area from the bottom of your dickhead until the line between your penis and your balls), this will leave a space for your dickhead from the top, afterall it's a sensetive area
after the wrapping complete the wrapping by tape the end of your piece of cloth so it close around your penis
now bring the balloon, make sure it's a similar size to the piece of clothing, and wrap it as well, do the exact thing you did with the piece of clothing .
I chose the ballon and the piece of clothing because their surface are so soft, so they wont cause pain presses for your penis.
Congratulations! you just made a standard armor for your penis, the more layers you add the more it resistes an erection.
but you will have a small obstacle with peeing, sometimes it will hold back the urine while your peeing, after all you're technically choking your dick in a very gentle way
this way worked for me for weeks, but eventually my lust reachs very crazy level that I have to masturbate so I take the armor off and ruin my body for a week again.
pour cold water when you have massive erection.
this will get rid of your erection so quickly.
Q: do you think abandon any sexual activity for years to avoid PIOS symptoms is a better solution? or should I start to treat PIOS itself and enjoy sexlife?I would choose the latter of course, but it seems to be a long way to take, especially for me as a student who's trying to sharpen his skills I would probably choose the fastest and most guarnteed solution to avoid wasting time.
PS: it's been 3 days since my last ejaculation, now I'm in survival mode
wish us luck
