    I am on Hard Mode for 70+ days. Still no morning woods, erections are weak and fade away quickly. No wet dreams, nothing. No urges to watch porn either, I am in flatline. You can read my full story, but quick story, I masturbated since I was 2,5 years old, watching porn since 10. Everything was ok, until I escalated to genres that mismatched my sexual orientation. How quick was your recovery? I think I will need at least a year to fully reboot. I feel completely asexual now, and I am very stressed when somebody talks about women and sex, because I know I can’t perform.

    I'm at 181 days and a similar situation. No erections, no morning wood, somewhat in flatline (depressed and tired as hell)

    I'm giving myself two years. If things haven't gotten better by then, I'll assume they're not going to.

    Still not going back to porn, ever, but may stop hardmode at that two year point.

    Just keep going buddy. Stay strong and NO PMO until things resolve.

    Best of luck to you!

    I was feeling down and just felt I need to share this. Thanks for support. I am not returning to porn either, but I am constantly thinking what I will do if nothing helps in 1+ years. Should I hire sex workers, to try to kick start my libido and wire to real people, or should I just continue waiting.
    A lot of people here say that wiring is a must, but when I was a kid, I was naturally attracted to women. I just don't support wiring theory and think it's best to wait until you have morning woods, and random erections.

    You just might need a lot of time. Have faith it’ll work out. Have you noticed ANY improvements?

    Yes! I was extremely anxious about things. That has improved significantly!

    I used to have trouble being around loud crowds, or in a very crowded environment. Now I can go out and stay relaxed. Very few things bother me when I'm around people. (I used to be very sensitive regarding other people's behavior)

    My wife and I are super close. Closer than we've ever been really. We fool around a lot, but it's really just me doing stuff to her. We're really in love.

    I just noticed you are 57 yo. How were your erection quality before? When did you develop ED? When did you discover pornography?

    Yes, I'm 57. Good health. 6'5", 195 lbs. Full head of non-grey hair. Ride a bike (or spin) almost every day.

    My erection quality had been going down for the past few years. Even with porn.

    I started masturbating at about 13-14 years old. Around 15-16 found some magazines, and it's been pretty steady since then. I've never been one of these guys that masturbated many times a day.

    The past few years I've been in an extremely, extremely stressful situation, and I think I was using PMO to try and escape from the stress. The PMO has been very intense, and escalating.

    I'm clean (NO PMO) for just over six months now, with absolutely no desire to go back to porn. Ever.

    I hope you recover. I asked your age, because in your case you have to recover faster, because you didn’t grow up with fast internet. Do you have penetrative sex with your wife? Does it affect the progress? Have you been watching only regular porn or escalated to weird genres?

    I’m 44 days in and totally flatlined. I know it’s going to take awhile. Never really into porn or masturbation. Maybe MOed 2X a week and not always to porn usually fantasy.

    Thank god I don’t have blue balls yet. That has caused me to relapse in the past. The pressure was just ungodly.

    Stay strong, man. I am 90 days in, and I think I am slowly going out of flatline. Have strong erections in the morning for a little bit. Every day it's getting better. Urges to PMO and MO are non-existent. Weird fetishes disappeared. Gay thoughts gone.

    Supposedly I'll recover faster, as I had experiences with women before PMO.

    I cannot get an erection (plus I'm doing hardmode: NO P. NO M. NO O.) so my wife and I do not have intercourse. We do fool around, but it's mostly me doing stuff to her.

    I did escalate in my porn watching. Especially during the five extremely stressful years. Again, I think I was using PMO to escape from the stressful situation.

    I'll stay NO PMO. I want to regain full erections and the ability to have intercourse and orgasm PIV.

    Best of luck to you!
