OK so I figured it'd be good to make a scale of sorts where people suffering from PIED can post their current erectile strength and how it's changed over their reboots or relapses... So how HARD can your penis get? (be it with P0rn or Masturbating or with a real person), what score are you? 1- totally flaccid and soft. 2- Still soft, but that 'fuller' and slightly larger flaccid penis 3- a very weak semi. Like where it starts to rise a bit 4- a semi erection. However you can still bend it in the middle a fair bit. 5- a semi erection. You can bend it but not much. A blowjob or sex would be possible but embarrassing/unsatisfying. 6- getting harder. But you still wouldn't be proud to call it an erection infront of someone... putting a condom on would be tricky. There's be too much wriggle space inside. 7- 3/4 of an erection. You can have sex and have fun with it but it's a shadow of it's full potential. Taking a proud dick pic would not cross your mind! 8- Almost a proper erection. The head is half exposed (if you have foreskin) and it feels rigid enough for most sexual situations. You'd settle for this erection just to lead some kind of sex life. But you know it's not as hard as you know it can get. 9- Hard. Basically a full erection but perhaps the foreskin isn't pulled back entirely over the head (depends on the penis of course!) 10- RIGID. The hardest a penis can ever get. Everything is stretched out and expanded to it's limit. The best erection! 100%. You feel like a king again.
I went from a 10 to a 1 overnight almost two years ago. Literally! Depressing times... I then had months of 3s to 5s with the occasional 8. In these two years I've had a very random 10 about three times. Not when masturbating, but in the morning. TWO YEARS! :/ I had more sex in the last year however and ranged between a 7 and a 9. This was usually only possible after not masturbating for a week or more.
over the last two years? loads of relapses! Tried hard mode only a few times. I'm best at not orgasming. that's the easiest bit and also the bit I think does most damage. I don't actually think watching porn is damaging if it's doesn't arouse you (not that I do that!)
I'd say 6 to 7 before I began my current streak. Now I'm in a flat-line so the score would be more like 1-4. The issue is that even with 7, I couldn't enjoy sex due to lack of sensitivity. I think that with a higher EQ, I will be able to address my DE issues too.
After successful reboot I got my rock hard erection back. And I do mean rock hard. Like 10 out of 10. All thanks to NoFap
I'm with most of yo all at the score of 7. This is hard to tell really though since I last had sex in late October and that is a while from now. Since doing Nofap it has been not seldomly getting hard in mornings and nighttime (freaking cat keeps terrorizing me...) and sometimes gets semi-hard, I would say those semi-erections have become a lot more frequent since I started doing nofap in late December last year. I find it very positive. It seems to keep strong for a longer period of time as to touching it aswell unlike before when it got soft very quickly. I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome since experiencing PSTD for several years (about ten-twelve with better mental healt periods in between, shorter) so I think it will never be a ten unless I find the adequate help I need and require. For now with Nofap I would settle for it being an eight or maybe nine at best, and I really don't care anymore if the ladies are impressed or not. I mean I spent so much time trying to please them and it has given me jack-shit, they should be happy to be getting anything at this point as far as I am concerned.
A 7 is enough for sex man. I mean you can make it work at the very least. I'm on the same boat as you, except the PTSD part. We've done everything in our power for the ladies. When you tell the girl you love about it, she'd be proud of you and support you for it. At least, the one who loves you in the long run.
The past week, Ive had 7-10 ... as soon as I do any kind of physical activity, it goes down. Im sure Im waaaay out of shape. Im sure some is hereditary. I know my dad had issues at 35. Im gonna work out again and get better in shape before I see a doctor.
You used the expression "rock hard" and I've seen other people say the same. I don't think I have ever felt that. I can't ever remember experiencing a 100% erection in my life. How literal is it? Does a fully erect penis lose all flexibility?
I had one of those 9/10 this morning having a dream about a celeb crush I have. As soon as I fully woke up, it was gone. Bummer. Ive heard having trigger dreams is possible / common when going nofap... at least I thought I read that here.
Well, I can't talk for others, but in my case it's quite literally Rock Hard. I don't think I've had erection this hard since I was in my 20's which was almost 20 years ago. I strongly believe that when you complete your reboot, you'll have it too. Stay strong Bro! EDIT: Plus it seems like I've gained 1 or 2 extra centimeters because of stronger erection. But I haven't measured it, so I can't be sure, and I'm also very biased on this matter
