Well Im on day 15 and it was not easy getting here. Not sure if NoFap is bullshit or not, I choose to test myself and see the results: Experiment One: Shower naked on facetime for wife. Result: She showed me a little skin, I was slightly aroused by didn't get a full erection. Experiment Two: Looks at a few seconds basic pornography (I.e close up of penetration, attractive women) Result: While the scenes looked interesting, I didn't feel any dopamine release nor was I really being turned on. It felt forced and I closed it feeling no different then I started. Experiment Three: Attempt to get a full erection. Result: Partial erection achieved but required an aggressive amount of stimulation. First I shook it a bit with no response then smacked it around and rubbed it on palm... Nothing. Finally I just lubed up and cranked it and felt the first shot of dopamine (after 10-15 secs) I stopped and analyzed my pathetic erection. I wasn't even turned on. I watch as it quickly shrivel back up. Physical stimulation alone provided me nothing and I was shocked at how difficult it was to achieve an erection and how even once I had it I didn’t crave to continue. Experiment Four: Look at a few seconds of nude transsexual women. Results: Instant arousal requiring intimidate closure of images. 15 days has had zero effect on my attraction towards TS. Analysis: I will say this up front that transwomen are burned deep into my brain, there is no question in my mind, it is not going to go away in 90 days or even 365 days. Standard porn in and by itself doesn't turn me on, rather a state of mind or desire to be turned on is what triggers me. What shocked me was the fact that normally I could easily get an erection from just thinking about masturbation or touching myself, I also figured watching a little porn would at least give me a stir. No arousal occurred and I didn’t feel the need to chase either. My sex drive is dead. Now I had a lot of fun giving my wife a sexy show (at least I thought it was sexy) she gave me a few flirty flashes and it caused me to get a little aroused. This is a good thing. Final result after 15 days: NoFap is working, I have no desire to watch porn or masturbate. My arousal level for my wife is growing and I hope that it’s easier to get an erection around her as it was very hard to get myself started. Transsexual women will always blow my mind and its best to just avoid it so I don't agonize/lust over them. I will continue PMO till I see my wife next month and transfer over to PM only. I hope that with the reduction of desire for PMO I will redirect that lost energy back into my wife sexually. It is working.. (Note: I don't consider this is any type of relapse. It was a successfully experiment and proved to myself that NoFap works. My next test will be when I have my wife in my arms, Ill report the results.)
You have the same symptoms that I had. Your right it's porn induced ED. For better results, I feel it's best not to test by P or M. I recommend just going on the nofap journey. I actually did what you did before with disappointing results. I felt my dick has died because I wasn't sure whether it's porn induced or not. I also tested with p and m. Eventually I made a decision to do the nofap thing. It was scary because my dick was dead for 3 weeks, I wasn't sure if it was PIED and then I started getting porn urges. My penis was erected and I want to P and M. I then went into flat line. Flat line is the best as your recovering. It means more dead dick. Which ever road you choose, good luck with your experiment and wish you a super hard erection with your wife
I never really had an issue with this in the past, i just had very little desire to have sex with my wife. I hope I come back endlessly hungry and hard as steel, because if I dont.....
