    Fear of "use it or lose it"
    I am 44 and I started to think about no fab because of ED. I went 18 days without, I felt more energetic no falling asleep on desk and clearer mind, but did not felt any urge to have sex. I see my gf once a week. My question is for older men like me, is it possible to lose sexual power if we don't exersize penis with masturbation? I need input from older guys who went through this. Thanks

    I'm not an expert, but I don't think it's possible. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way biologically. But again I'm not an expert, maybe someone else on here understands the science involved...

    I'm only 21, so don't have age relevant experience. I really don't think you can lose power through not exercising the penis; it's not a muscle so doesn't require stimulation in order to retain strength/size. Urges will come back, don't worry. I'm a healthy young man and my journey with nofap started when I was 17; it took me almost a year of recovery before I was truly interested in real sex.

    I'm sure that the recovery of your ED would depend on the underlying causes; if it is due to PMO and desensitisation then your ED will improve with time. If it is due to cardiovascular issues associated with age I guess certain lifestyle changes will help you. I'm not sure, but I imaging aggressive M must damage the blood vessels of the penis, which no doubt won't help.

    Long story, but the decrease in sex drive during the abstinence (I think especially starting after two or three weeks) is absolutely normal. This is one of the biggest reasons people backslide and try if "it" still works. As I said its a long story. Therefore I can highly recommend yourbrainonporn.com (if allowed to post). Contains all necessary information.

    Keep it up...

    Hi aziz, I'm 42 and PMO has been a huge part of my life and has completely invaded my sex life in multiple destructive ways. I have gone almost three weeks hard mode and I think that whole "don't use it, lose it" talk is a bunch of bullshit. I just feel that strongly about it. "Using it" is what got me into this mess in the first place. I used to tell myself I was doing it so I could be better prepared for girls, last longer with them, go harder like a porn actor, and all sorts of other ridiculous excuses my brain Could come up with.Next thing you know, I got issues in the bed and can't think of a singal coherent or non porn related thought while I'm with my girl because of all those things I thought were making me better. Of course I did it to excess, but The only thing "using it" did was make me a lousy lay.
    I feel absolutely better physically, and infinitely better mentally since I stopped "using it". I'm seeing my girl in about a week and I can tell now that I can't wait to jump right into bed with her. Never felt that way in my PMO heyday. Thats how confident I feel at the moment because I stopped. Maybe I'll flatline (I hope not) but I cant go back to masturbating.
    After reading all of the success stories from other members, I'm convinced beyond a doubt that this is the only way to go to get your body, mind, and soul back. I'm not worried about losing it as long as I stick with the program. Quite the opposite is true for me, if I try to use it I'll be right back spiking up with the porn needle. Good luck man and I wish you success with your challenge!!!
