    I'm on day 73- I have a gf. During the entire time I have never been able to get it up with her. Just as a test this morning I put on a porn video... I felt a little bit of an urge but couldn't get hard at all. Not even a little bit. Also I haven't been getting morning wood too much. I'm wondering if I permanently damaged my dick during my teenage years when I masturbated with a flaccid penis by squeezing it between my thighs. I was able to masturbate many times a day this way. Do you guys think I should give it more time or go back to a doctor? Thanks

    When was the last time when you get really hard?
     
  3. More time. It is well know that the younger you started with internet porn+masturbation the longer the reboot can take. 90 is an average number. I would not start thinking about this till you see no results by 120.

  4. It looks like ur brain have been used to flaccid faping.I think ur brain and ur body needs more time to rewire.you should wait some more time as somepersons required more than one year to have strong erections.Don't watch porn,wait atleast till the time when u start experiencing strong morning woods.

    Earlier this year after maybe a 3 week streak of nofap I caved and jacked off the normal way. I really only got hard after manually stimulating myself though. I wouldn't say it was 100 percent, but definitely a decent enough erection. I never am getting morning wood though and can't even get it up enough for a blow job. I think I'll give it til march and then go back to the doctor. I'm just worried because if he says nothing physical is wrong he might give me vi-gra and I don't want to become dependent on that

    You may need to think about it for yourself rather than going with the opinion of a doctor or just popular opinion on the forums with a short little message like this. Both sources of advice have drawbacks, the doctor may believe PMO is harmless, and the people on the forums are not medical experts and don't have enough information. If you need to figure out a part of it on your own but always just ask someone else should I do this or that you may never know.

    You make a good point. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences or knew enough information to be able to help. From what I hear if I have little to no progress after around 120 days it might be time to go back to a doctor
     
  8. Actually u r in a flatline. A person in nofap streak often experience random flatlines that is interval flatelines till the time he recovered fully.Read the quoted post it will explain ur condition .

    But no erection AT ALL? Like not even a little?
     
  10. Bro don't take tention, i myself has streak of 1 month orevious year and this happens.Be patience, but do not relapse,if u do start masturbating then what u think u will achieve ur erections back, no it will slow down ur process.Seeking a doctor's help is not a problem go and have a checkup to doctor but do not take vigara atleast.

    Do you think that when I briefly checked porn this morning it will set me back? I honestly didn't really feel a huge dopamine high and turned it off after like 10 seconds and didn't edge

    Try a 90 day hard reboot.
    PIED does not go away over night.

    I just want to echo what everyone else has said. Your dick isn't permanently messed up but it's really hard to know how long it will take to recover. Don't freak out though, it will get back to normal eventually.

    I would also recommend hard mode for a while. It seems that trying to have sex or any kind of orgasm can slow people down and make the process take longer

    I can't even get a blow job my dick is literally not moving at all. Sometimes I feel like there's a little soreness in it and it retracts but a doctor saw me this summer and said I was fine. Being at day 73 shouldn't I be seeing some progress? The only potential lapse I had was barely viewing porn for like 10 seconds

    Just search this forum...very, very common dude. You're in the flatline period and that can mean extreme numbness and complete inability to get any kind of erection. "Progress" is different for everybody. You might be about to turn a corner or you could be stuck like this for several more weeks or even months. It's a nonlinear process and you will likely go in and out of flatline for a while.

    Just try not to freak out as hard (or soft) as it is. You're on a well worn path, many others including myself have experienced what you're going through right now and have come out the other side.

    Just go hard mode, exercise, treat your body right and try not to stress out. I would highly recommend meditation. Other than that there's not much you can do right now. Just be patient, bro.

    Thanks my dog. I've noticed some random soreness at the base of my dick that's off and on. What to make of it?
