I noticed recently that when I masturbate I can only hold a good erection for about 5 minutes before i start going limp. I have gotten to the point where i ejaculate limp/semi erect sometimes. What is causing this. Please help as I am completely desperate. How can I know if this is organic or psychological?
Usually once every day for the past 9 years around. I used to be able to fap for hours but now I begin to lose my erection after 5-10 minutes. It is honestly terrifying. Any idea what is going on here?
Honestly it’s PIED. I know you want a different answer but that the cause. Everyday for 9 years is a lot of jerking off. My dick would have fallen off.
I would rather believe it is PIED than a physical problem. Believe me 100%. However I have been reading conflicting studies on the subject matter,if I could solve this by not fapping it would be a god send but many say it is all a placebo.
I have clincal depression and take antidepressants where a major side effect is ED. My ED is medication induced but even a little porn aggravates it. The pills haven’t worked for me. NoFap hard mode and 5 grams of L Arginine a day have brought my dick back to life.
Studies don't always tell you what to do as an alternative. Loads of things don't have a solution,problem is that placebo is powerful.I read that only around 10% of ED is psychological. NoFap started as a meme on misc and now it turned into two huge forums. I honestly do not know what to think and want nothing more but to get my beautiful erections back.
The placebo effect is psychological, not physical. So even if NoFap only works for someone as a "powerful" placebo then that person was clearly suffering from a psychological problem. Not sure where the 10% comes from. Remember: 57.3% of all data is simply made up. In your situation I would refrain from Fap for at least as long as it took to experience morning wood. That will show that the plumbing works just fine, and it is a psychological problem. Leave the little guy alone. Give him a break! After working non-stop for 9 years surely he's earned himself a rest.
I experience morning wood but its floppy. I can rarely get a 100% erection.If that makes sense. I am still super horny but cant get a proper wood!Looking for help urgently.
That's not morning wood - it sounds more like morning pulp. Your symptoms are classic PIED. I'm afraid there is no fast solution to a problem that was 9 years in the making. Leave the little fellow alone. Then see what happens. If you keep playing with it trying to get it to "work" it will most likely only make it worse. You shouldn't flog a (nearly) dead horse. Try the 30-day NoFap challenge. Then see how you feel at the end. If these other studies don't offer any solution what else are you going to try?
Could be psychological.It makes no sense I can get a 90% hard on when I start fapping and then it goes away before I can finish or I finish with a semi. I want to know what is causing my problem because honestly I need some pussy urgently.
I understand but why does the strength of my erection lessen ? That makes no sense! I cant get an erection without touching the wood.
What answer are you searching for? Most of us in these forums are speaking from personal experiences not pure academic research. At this point I suggest you either do the research or see a doctor.
Your issue is a classic PIED symptom. I had the same thing. It's much improved now after a couple of weeks of no PMO and I still don't M. If you haven't seen this from Your Brain on Porn yet, check it out. It goes into quite a bit of detail on the processes leading to PIED and the symptoms from PIED. The problem doesn't come from your penis, it is from physical, chemical changes in the brain. I get that you probably don't want to stop M for a while, but it is very likely the only way you will get past this problem. The good thing is it's free and it will work, you just have to want it badly enough to do it. Good luck with it!
Because you have become desensitized through excessive PMO. You cannot maintain your level of excitement for as long as you could because your mind has maxed out on dopamine. If you continue to PMO then eventually it will not be able to become hard at all. But don't worry - this can be reversed. Just not overnight.
Maintain the level of exitement? Honestly I know quitting PMO is only hard for the first week,what I have raid about venous leak is that sometimes you need to maintain constant arousal since the blood escapes. Like I said,aslong as this isn't something physical I am a super happy man. Not that I am rejecting peoples advice here,but I do want to play a bit of devils advocate before I chalk this up as a victory and get to work.
