Too all people suffering with peyronies I think video games is one of the healthiest ways to blow off steam, relax, escape, and take your mind off of the bad while in the acute phase or in chronic.
The reson it's different than watching tv is when you watch tv your mind can wonder, when you are playing a team based game your mind won't wonder as much because you need to focus on the objective in the game to help your team. And the conversations you have with your friends will be less sexually drive.
Example: you won't be discussing which chick your friend banged because your worried about losing a tie game.
Your conversations will revolve mostly around the game. I've met some really cool people online that I've gotten really close with. One of them was a football player who has became paralyzed from the neck down after a freak swimming accident. He jumped into his lake at his lake house but somehow a inflatable raft moved in the way while he was diving. Luckily he has regained mobility and now is paralyzed from the waist down. But he gets on there and is one of the happiest people I know so he's very inspirational.
Often times when I watch movies and tv shows I get bummed because of all the sexual innuendo makes me feel sad that I'm "missing out" or whatever you want to call it.
With video games you can be a war hero, a skateboarder, a truck driver, paintballer, gangster, detective, ghost buster, race car driver, astronaut, basketball player, soccer player, you can virtually do almost anything. The nice part is you are doing something and for me it was easier to do this and more enjoyable then go out to bars and visit friends. Now I'm finally feeling more comfortable to but while I was isolating myself this kept me sane. If you can avoid isolation do not isolate it's hard to come back from. I'm working on it baby steps. But video games play a big part in me staying happy
In my day I grew up with Atari pong and then Coleco Vision. They have come a long way since then :)
I love gaming. So relaxing. So much fun.
If it's retro games, NES, SNES, GENESIS, etc I'm in! Yes, even Atari 2600 will do!
Hell yeah! Although not retro I've been Recently have been playing "ace combat 7" it's a dog fighting game (fighter jets). They maverick's plane from top gun and the planes from the new top gun
I'll tell you I certainly do think about peyronies when I'm traveling at a virtual mock 6-7( 1 mock = 725 mph) upside down
Great story mode 10/10 would recommend Que "danger zone" lol
For anyone that can't get a hold of counsels due to high cost of country taxes I would be willing to order one for you and mail it provided I am venmoed for that. I really do think video games are a valuable tool for peyronies especially young patients plus if I don't want to go out my friends think it's cuz I'm a nerd not that I just wasn't feeling good socially.. I would only do that for you obviously with pay pal in case of fraud attempts
