unable to rewire to cure PIED

Hi everyone, a short introduction about myself: I am a 16-year-old young man, a virgin, and currently I'm trying to cure my PIED and porn addiction of about 4 years.

I've read up many stories and facts about rebooting from porn addiction. Many stated that complete abstinence from porn and masturbation can help "rewire" the brain and get back full erections. Well, I have had pretty good erections from around day 20 to day 24 before relapsing on day 25. But after that relapse, erections are all so mild and can't stay erect for more than 10seconds. This has been happening for the past 1 week.

Well, it's day 8 now and I'm planning on making it to 2 months. But here's the real problem, how am I supposed to rewire my brain to get erections to real sex partners if I don't even have a female friend? And no, it's not because I can't make friends, but because I don't have any chance to. You see, I'm currently studying in an all boys school and is still stuck here for 1 more year. I really regretted my choice on choosing an all boys school since I literally don't have any chance to make female friends. I've been in this boys school for the past 3 years, and it's then when I started having a more serious porn addiction since I didn't have any girls to talk to. And in short, the past 3 years my life was utter shit.

Well, I'm finally in my last year of this school and I'm trying to recover from porn. But the question remains, how am I supposed to rewire to real sex partners? Is complete abstinence from porn enough to cure my PIED? Or do I need some female friends to help? If so, how am I supposed to meet new girl friends given my situation?

Just to add on, I think making friends with girls ain't all that hard since I have a rather decent look and I'm becoming more confident due to my reboot. I even have like 1 rather cute stranger who I meet almost every weekday in the train that appears to like me. It's just I don't know how to approach her.


Your suggestions and help are really needed.

Thanks!

 

Thanks @HopefulChristian for the info.

I guess I wasn't clear enough in my post. You see I do know that abstinence can do great things, but I'm thinking it alone will make rebooting very long for me since I started all my sexual encounters with porn so I have literally no experience or memory of having sexual encounters with a real life woman, so how am I even supposed to rewire?

" On the other hand, sensual contact with a real person can be beneficial, as long as you don't fantasize about porn. In fact, some guys engage in gentle intercourse, in which they avoid getting close to the edge or orgasming. This sidesteps the chaser." this is from yourbrainonporn.com.

I think what I learnt from reading that long article is that yes, abstinence from porn first and then you need to rewire to real partners or just simply, actually get sexually excited to real life women. So I was basically asking whether or not you nofappers thinks this is true and whether a girl, just as a friend, can help me a lot through this rebooting process.

Of course, just to let you know I'm willing to spend the rest of my year tackling porn if I need to, but I just maybe want to find a faster and maybe more efficient way.

And sorry maybe I shouldn't have stated the "looks", its just that now I can finally accept myself for who I am and how I look like, rather than picking out every small flaw I have and thinking I'm ugly for the past 3 years. That's probably one of my benefits I already got from nofap and I'm proud of it. And confidence doesn't necessarily mean you won't have social anxiety with women, like for my case its just purely lack of interaction and experience that made me a bit afraid to talk to them, and that is what I'm trying to work on now.

Let me know what yall think, thanks!
