soon ill hit 70 days, hard mode (no pmo). im not cured yet but the benefits are really kicking in. the short of it : 1-28 days : bad cravings, flash backs, had to fight the urge to PMO with a lot of resistance. this was the bracket where i always relapsed the most in the past. 28 - 38 days : mad boners and horniness, few if any morning/sleep erections and were always soft. 40-58 days : major flatline, no arousal, no woods - nothing. 60 - 70 days : nocturnal and morning erections are very frequent, some times almost fully hard, other times semi hard. horny levels increasing, sudden surge in erection quality. since around day 60 ive been able to enjoy things again, fog and depression are lifting and life feels real again. im also able to make eye contact with people and my social skills have significantly improved as has my confidence and self esteem. also flashbacks to porn and porn fantasy are almost non existent now. since beginning this years nofap i originally intended to make it to 100 days but i realized at some point that i had to cut porn out permanently and masturbation for at least 2 years. iam now shooting for 198 days of hardmode (no pmo). iam not going to masturbate or look at porn on day 198 but iam due to meet with my gf overseas in December so i will end up Oing for sure. last year i did 6 months of no orgasm but i still had relapses with looking at porn and masturbating. i think my longest no PMO streak was probably around 50-60 days. all in all, i rebooted for around 8 months last year. i was fully functional by the end of that reboot but after having sex dozens of times my ED returned.
You are really great. I should learn from you. You must have recovered a lot physically and mentally. I've been controlling my pornography addiction since 2013, but I didn't do well. This time I persisted for 58 days, but in a few days I had intimate kisses and hugs with my wife. These days I feel very bad, the brain fog reappeared. Sleep is not good. These two days feel the sexual impulse slowly disappears, I need to give a sexual holiday again. Bless you
I had a wet dream, went back to sleep and woke up with a 90-95% erection. Good sign things are improving.
woke up with a lot of erections in the middle of the night, 90+ % hardness...then finally as i rose from bed i had a firm erection. my most solid in months. erection quality is steadily climbing and nocturnal/morning wood is becoming more frequent and consistent. confidence rising and life is becoming more enjoyable.
This is awesome to hear mate. You're an inspiration. Can I ask, what is early signs of Ed? I've not really thought about it, I think I've been lucky. I'm curious tho. Like can u just not get it out, or not without p?
Thanks man. Depends what the cause of your ED is. If its porn induced then you'll get typical symptoms, depression, lack of focus, brain fog, short temper, standard drug withdrawal symptoms. You may find it impossible to get hard for a real woman but easily hard for porn. If your PIED is severe enough even porn wont get you hard anymore. Also in my experience morning woods and sleep erections were non existent when I used porn. My morning woods only returned during reboots. That to me is a sure sign this is all in our brains. Another less common symptom Ive had (i know some guys that have it though) is not being able to maintain an erection standing up or being able to get one whilst standing up. This problem went away eventually. It can also be caused by pelvic floor imbalance although that is a bit less common.
Well not sex in itself. See I had delayed ejaculation for the first 6 or so sessions of sexual intercourse then eventually I was able to break through and I started orgasming every session. After another half dozen or full dozen (no idea) my erections became weak again. Mind you I started thinking of porn during those sessions so who knows, that may have thrown me backwards. Either way, I clearly wasn't completely healed yet, despite having erections so hard I could use my dong as a battering ram. Like I say, things are not always what they seem.
Horny levels increasing, waking with erections every night now ( i wake at least 2-3 times every night, normal routine for me).
Still waking up with hard erections every day, a very good sign. I had a sex dream and almost had an orgasm but I managed to tell myself "NO" in the dream repetitively and averted a messy disaster.
Came down with the flu and didnt wake with any erections last night. Very odd...will pay closer attention tonight.
