Frustration

Hi @Amz2 thank you for sharing. You're in the right place my friend. A few things to consider, but first, try to relax. The stress you're putting on yourself, while understandable, won't make the issue any better. In fact, it will only make it worse.

I have what is called PIED or Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction. It was the primary reason for me coming to NoFap (I've since found other, more important reasons). It's caused because my brain has become so used to the stimulation I would get from porn that sex with an actual person wasn't arousing enough. I'm not saying that's what you have, but it could be a possibility.

As you probably know, this problem with erections happens to every guy sooner or later (even if they never admit it). It could be that it just happened and the worry you're having over it is putting too much stress on you. This will cause it to happen again exactly because you're worried about it happening again.

It could also be caused from high-stress moments in life. Are you going through any big challenges now? Job? School?

Finally, and pardon the intrusive question, but do you have spontaneous erections anymore? Morning wood, etc. and can you usually get erect when you masturbate? This is an important question. If the answer is yes, then your erectile dysfunction is likely caused by stress, or potentially excessive porn and masturbation. Sometimes, when we masturbate a lot, we develop a tighter grip (on this site, they call it the death grip). This makes regular intercourse not as stimulating, so it's harder to stay erect. If you answer yes to the above questions, good! That means it is "all in your head" as in a psychological/stress related issue or PIED.

However - and here's the really important part - if you answer those questions no... You should make an appointment with your primary care doctor and discuss your erectile dysfunction. Why? When I went to mine, she asked me these questions. If I had answered them no, it could mean that there is an actual physical problem that needs to be addressed. You say you are healthy, which is good. But even seemingly healthy people can have problems. Total erectile dysfunction (as in you never get hard) can be a sign of serious medical issues.

Having said that, have you been in NoFap long? Have you been rebooting? I ask because sometimes when we reboot (abstain from porn and masturbation - and some, like me, orgasm, too) we get what's called a "flat line." This is where our penises stop working for a while and nothing turns us on. Flat line is considered a healthy part of recovery and eventually passes. It's also NOT a sign of any medical problems.

I know I've written a lot, but there's a lot to think about here. I wanted to reach out to you because I have had similar experiences and a good understanding of them. For the record, I am NOT a doctor, so you shouldn't take this as medical advice. Take it as advice from someone who's faced the same problem and is wishing you well. If you have questions, you can always ask. Either here or in a private message.

I hope things turn out well for you, man. I'm sure they will.

 

so P-Free i dont get morning woods but sometimes i do recieve a couple slight erections and when im with my girl i get slight erections but my penis stills feel dead when its not react , you think its PIED still?

 

I just saw your private messages and will reply there. It may be PIED, but I'll read your messages before answering that question.

 

You might be going through PIED disorder.

 

yeah i am
