Was I on 100%? Not completely. I'd say around 90%. I managed nofap to around two weeks at most (no porn was not a problem however). Weight training was OK but never anything like before, when I'd go for like 4/5 days a week. Now I did 2 days. No energy I guess, but forced myself to go regardless.
The only thing I didn't do was the bathmate. I got two models, followed your advice but both of them hurt me too much, even with just a couple of pumps (shooting pains through my penis), so I decided against it after using it a couple of times a week for a month or three.
I stopped somewhere in February this year.
I know you're gonna say I had to do 100%, but with respect, if 90% for a year doesn't make much difference, I doubt 100% (and pushing through the pain of the bathmate) would.
I'm not like you I suppose. I always admired your positive energy. Even though I'm still here, which I consider quite an achievement. I really tried, but seeing the tissues of my genitals destroyed every day for the past two years, despite doing my best to cure myself, is too much for me.
Because of this, I'm in a terrible spot and this disease is getting the better of me.
Maybe I need more time and consistency, as you so often put it.
Anyway, this is just my experience and I won't bother anyone with it anymore. If I ever do get better, I'll let you guys know for sure.
PS I want to reiterate to anyone reading that you should just do the protocol, as most seem to fare well on it. Don't let my experience drag you down (for which I apologise), but my experience is what it is. I won't censure it.
