My story in a nutshell is typical: I got ED (Erectile Dysfunction), and while at the beginning the magic pills worked and worked great, after a while they stopped working. Period. So, I tried most everything and... nothing worked. So I thought that it was PIED. Was it? I don't know. All along I thought it had to do with my diet; you see I had started working out, lifting at the gym, and I switched my diet to a very high protein diet. Well, once I decreased my protein intake things got a little better, but not great and not predictably good; I would have ups and downs (pun intended) that I could not figure out what was the cause, one way or another. Then, there was the summer of hell, summer 2018 where I changed job, moved, sold my house, bought another house, got sued, sued someone, house purchase fell through, bought another house, lost my job, got another job. So, in the middle of all of that, I started skipping days at the gym, from 5-6-7 times a week at one point I went 2 full weeks with no gym, and these days I go every other day. My diet is not as clean as it used to me, more saturated fat from red meat, less overall protein, more carbs and some refined carbs. Still a relatively healthy diet but not as strictly 100% healthy as I had been; and . . . surprise surprise.... my ED is gone! At the worst, during my healthy diet and frequent workout, once I was not able to have sex despite abstinence of 7 days and a stack of 2 magic pills (V + C), while also being on a daily 5mg C. These days I have sex practically every day with no magic pills whatsoever. I get random boners, I wake up with a very hard erection; everything is as if life has rewinded to 10-15 years ago. I still watch some porn, you know, just for fun, but not nearly as much as I used to. Did that help too? Probably, I am not sure. And I don't fap as much as I used to, I do prefer sex, even when it's hard to wait till the end of the way because of work. I also have a new girlfriend, this one is very cute; not as flashy as my prior girlfriend but very cute indeed with a nice body too. So, there it is, my story. Don't fap. Don't PMO. Workout but not too much. Eat well but not too well.
Hope you don't mind me asking but when you had ED was this with a significant other or were you single at the time? Just asking because i had some ED issues in the past when i was single but me and my ex waited a few months before we had SI and i never had a single problem with her for 5 years. I am single again now and shitting it that i could get ED again
I have pied. Nightmare!! Currently 63 days hard mode and it seems to be getting better/stronger erections coming back etc
