37 year old, PIED. Second attempt to cure - DAY 19

Hello friends,

37 year old porn addict with PIED. This is my second attempt to fix my ED. Last time I made it to Day 90 without PM but I O'd a few times thru sex. Unfortunately I thought I was cured and 10 days after the 90 day mark was back at it watching porn. Two months of porn and my PIED has returned. Penis is once again flaccid, no libido, flatline, the works basically.

I am at Day 19 of no PMO today. Been in a major flatline since day 1. Penis has been flaccid, shrunk and absolutely no libido. Very frustrated despite knowing the process. This time my goal is not 90 days, this time its not PM for life. I want my natural erections back!!

 

Thank you! Flatline is such an unpredictable beast. So different for everyone. I go into flatline the day i stop watching porn. For you it didnt hit you until the 40 day mark. Stay strong!

 

I was able to get erections without touching myself which had become the case but I didnt always get as hard as I used to and because of that I got PA. I also noticed PE almost every time (couldnt last longer than 30 seconds) and DE a few times too, very strange. Also my recovery time had not reached normal levels yet. My libido would stay down for about a day or two every time I had sex. I was not taking any meds or supplements and dont plan on it this time either.

In hindsight, would say I had cured the arousal part but had not returned to a normal state yet. My penis had become too sensitive or not sensitive at all. I wonder if others have experienced this?

I made a mistake by thinking I was cured and have realized 90 days is just an arbitrary number. The ONLY cure is staying away from porn for life!

 

I have/had it bad. I dont how to categorize it but my penis was completely flaccid, major shrinkage and lost all sensitivity. I couldn't stay hard unless I was stimulating myself constantly.

 

Hello friends. Day 47 today and feeling much better then last week. I have seen some major improvements in the last week.

My penis is no longer completely flaccid. Slowly gaining sensitivity again. Last week I was super depressed because I looked at it and it was probably an inch long and felt like nothing was even there. It has grown back to about 3.5 inches. I am starting to get hard now if i touch it a little. Also, I had sex on Saturday morning, Day 42. This girl I see every now and then and have had sex with in the past initiated the whole thing and I got 90% hard. It was good, not amazing but I was happy I managed to stay hard throughout (about 5 mins). The other thing i noticed is after I was done, my penis still had some life in it and I felt like with a little bit of a push from her I could have gone again. This hasnt happened in years now so obviously that was a great sign.

Overall I have had a week of progress. The only bad day I had was yesterday and I think I know why. I was thinking about sex, fantasizing and trying to force myself to an erection throughout the day. I fantasized alot during the first 30 days of the reboot because i thought it would help but honestly feel like it is almost the same as watching porn except you create the fantasy in your head. I stopped doing that and that has been a game changer for me personally.

Im still far from being cured but the fact that i can get erect with minimal touch is HUGE. The way things were going the first 40 days I honestly thought i would be in a flatline for at least 90 days. Slowly creeping out an seeing some light at the end of the tunnel
