Hey man np! It’s tough. Even after May 2017 I’ve relapsed multiple times until recently. It’s not easy. Why? You’re fighting your brain. It’s tough medicine, but that’s the treatment. Like chemotherapy to cancer. Nasty side effects, but 10+ year remission?? I can’t hate on that lol. You can touch your penis. Just don’t edge or fantasize. I mean sure, a hot girl/gf can cross your mind momentarily from time to time. You might even get aroused from it. But what I do is that I try to think about something else quickly. Your brain needs to heal. You’re teaching your brain something new. Your brain can learn many behaviors if you force it to learn, whether good or bad.
Got you. I have been wondering about that for a while now, and I could not seem to have find a solid answer, or hypothesis about it. Thank you for shedding some light. doc. I am sure a few other members might have the same question.
Congratulations on your success! Today is my 200th day without fapping, and its still a struggle some days, especially because I live alone, have a girlfriend but we aren't sexually active at all. Ive noticed differences in social situations at work with women and in other places . I'm nowhere near as shy and my self esteem has gotten much stronger. But it's still a struggle some days.
I am not fapping but i can't seem to beat the edging. I unintentionally touch my penis time to time especially at night
Unintentionally? No problem. You’re getting back to normal. Let the natural stuff play out, but don’t force it.
Omg what you said was an understatement!!! I’ve never been so depressed in my life. If I wasn’t asleep, I would lay in bed all day. I knew this wasn’t me because I’m a very positive and outgoing person. It was all just so weird, I couldn’t explain it. It was so bad that I decided to see a therapist. ED drugs work less than 25% of the time, no matter how much I took. It’s in the BRAIN. That’s really what PIED is. Right now (I guess to give an update lol) I’m doing great. My gf and I are having sex regularly. More importantly, I’m myself. I look at who I was from May-Dec 2017 and I’m like I dunno who that person was. As I’ve said, the best treatment is to take care of yourself and have patience. Squash any beef you have with your partner (arguments, etc). And (like my case), sometimes recognizing that you and a partner are not compatible helps a lot too. It’s all about the mind. Assuming that there is no medical reason for ED, it is in the mind. It’s as simple as that. And if it’s in the mind, you CAN heal. That’s how I see it. Because I did. I’m cured.
Thanks buddy! I felt obligated to share my story. I couldn’t have done it without the NoFap community.
It’s the inability to get and/or sustain an erection for the pleasure or satisfaction of both partners. The cause of this can be physical and/or psychological. Treatment has wide variety - it is a case by case basis.
