9 Years no porn - Been in a flatline since day 1

Have you ever tried taking high dose Vitamin B6?

 

Do you still have sexual/fantasy thoughts? I know some people still have PIED after quitting porn because continues with fantasizing which reforces the same neural circuits in the brain. As you know your brain doesn't knos what is real or imaginated.

 

My longest period without orgasm was about 2 months and about 1 week.
On the last day of this period I felt what I hadn't felt for years ... life in my dick ... It was like before I didn't feel as lifeless as usual. My girlfriend visited me and of course I had sex ... and it s all over.
For me, sildenafil helps a lot, but once it's really ok, other times it barely works even with the maximum dose. It's very interesting what happened to sildenafil in my case. The first time I used 50 mg, I felt my cock crack 110% erection, I reduced the dose to about 30 mg, it worked very well for a few weeks. Of course I started having sex every day, I thought I found the solution, 3 orgasms a day ... then it started to have no effect and after 3-4 weeks even with the maximum dose it barely worked.
I had to stop just not working anymore ... I took a break for about a month and it worked again but with a dose of at least 50-70 mg. That's how a year passed with sex 2-3 times a week but it was too much, last year it didn't work even with 100 mg.I took a break again for about 1 month and it started working again with the 100mg dose, sex 1-2 times a week.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, ed drugs does nothing but exhaust you even better, and the fact that at some point it doesn't work at all happens due to the total exhaustion of sexual energy.
I agree with your theory of orgasm during the flatline period.
Moreover, I think I have the explanation ... all of us who have erection problems due to pmo, have taught our brains with something that is not in its place ... orgasm with soft dick !!! Our brain has learned this and considers that an erection is not necessary for orgasm, so it disconnected the system and took it out of the equation. The brain just wants an orgasm, hi wants dopamine.Whenever you have an orgasm with a soft or semi-direct dick, do nothing but strengthen, train.. the defective circuits in your brain, as no erection is needed for orgasm. It is also valid when you use ed drugs, in fact without them your dick is soft erection is not a natural one is maintained only by drugs.
Lately I have reduced the sex to 1 per week, even less once. Another strange phenomenon occurred, most of my life I had delayed ejaculation because of pmo, took fantasies during sex to reach orgasm but no erection problem until 4 years ago.
Now that I have rare sex, I struggle not to ejaculate, I just start having sex and he wants to ejaculate very quickly even with a soft dick my brain want orgasm !!
I would like to try a period of at least 6 months without orgasm ... but I don't know how I can do this with my girlfriend.

 

I have same symptoms... 5 years... Including sleep problems,
And something strange ... restless legs syndrome ....all of this sympoms leads to a dopamine problem...all apear simultaneously of crash erection system in 2015... Not enaugh for nervous system..? .may be the explanation for the lack of spontaneus, nighty erections.

 

Now i try 6 months of hard mode, today have 3.5 months... I dont feel any changes... Morning wood sporadic.. 1 time/ week.. Flatline... Dead dick at daytime nighty erection by night but ... No libido... My dick is like a dead meet without any feelings.. I dont now how its out this situation.

 

Can you guys give me your SHBG-levels? I have taken more than 10 hormone test the last few years and my SHBG is consistently high (average 60 nmol/l and the most recent test was 74!).

The reference ranges for HEALTHY YOUNG MEN are significantly lower than the general population!

This has led me to have normal Total Testosterone but low Free Testosterone. I am waiting to establish contact with a doctor who knows what he/she is doing, because all the doctors so far have not been able or willing to discuss this.

 

What dose of tadalafil did you try? Have you tried Vardenafil? My situation is rather different, 48, pretty acute ED/PE leading to total lack of confidence with women leading to 10 years of literally not touching a woman. The fact that no woman wanted to touch me in this time made this rather easy 2 years nofap, absolutely as you describe, permanent dead dick, no morning woods, etc ... a few months ago i decided fuck this, i need to do somethign about this, nofap did absolutely nothing to address my issues so i decided i was gonna start seeing escorts, i needed to confront my insecurities, i absolutely suck at picking up girls, there are very hot women offering exactly the services i need to "practice" if you like, try and get some confidence so i can think about dating "real" women. Its been a bit shaky at times, but ive had some good experiences and it feels like a damn sight more proactive than nofap monkmode AKA sexual suicide mode. It absolutely did nothing for me except made my PE significantly worse.
Ive been experimenting with pd5 inhibitors, with mixed results. Have an absolute pharmacy in my kitchen draw! Ive noticed a few things 1) different brands of say generic sildenafil seem more effective than others 2) maximum effect for me seems to be 3 - 4 hours after taking it, so maybe try taking it earlier than usual or just pay attention to when it seems most effective.
To be honest, yes its possible you could shake up your medication and find soemthing that works better eg daily tadalafil, but they only treat the symptoms and not the cause, which is anxiety. I absolutely believe this. Worry about ED causes ED, its that simple. The thing you worry about manifests. Stop worrying about it and it will go away. Ah how do you stop worrying about it? Well thats when it gets tricky, but not impossible. Anxiety can be dealt with, there are effective coping mechanisms. If you can eliminate or at least minimise the anxiety, the natural arousal mechanisms, which i believe can never be destroyed, can start to function again and that is essentially my blueprint for overcoming these issues. But im 99% sure the origin of your issue lies between you ears.
Id also say be thankful you have a gal - its a damn sight easier to deal with these issues with a partner. A lot cheaper than my situation!!
You can fix this

 

My ED isnt porn related; no, in my 2 years nofap i relapsed maybe 10 times longest streak was about 6 months and i honestly felt no different than i did after 6 days or probably even 6 hours. T levels fine, had 'em checked a while ago.
I just absolutely disagree that the way to sexual health is to abstain 100% from all sexual activity. Its like saying the way to physical health is to abstain from exercise. It is illogical, makes no sense, i think its total BS - this is backed up by the huge number of people on here saying wtf ive been on monk mode for X months/years and ive got no libido, no erections, no morning woods etc...and i think , yeah you decided to implement a total sexual shutdown, and now you say youre not functioning sexually, well, isnt that a surprise...?

 

Well, you went 15 months, no improvement, youre on here saying youve been in a "flatline" for 9 years, there are DOZENS of guys on here saying theyve been on monk mode for months, years, no improvement.
Each to their own, ive very much adopted a "use it or lose it" approach. I see my sexual organs like any other part of my body, it needs regular stimulus to remain healthy. This is logical. It is illogical to say specifically going out of your way to avoid using any part of your body is going to somehow magically make that part of your body radiant with health and strength, i dont believe it. And as i said, there are more than enough examples on here that support my claim that total abstinence does not lead to sexual health.
Anyway, thats just my opinion. I self stimulate in the morning when i feel horny. I edge, mostly to fantasy, ocassionally to soft porn, because i need to work on my PE issues (which deteriorated massively during nofap, dont touch your dick for month on end, what do you expect?) Light M, no O. I see it as a "workout" and i feel my sexual health is better than it has been for years, a million times better than during the nofap dead dick years.
But hey, you guys carry on with your abstinence, its obviously working...right?

 

6 nmol/l. The reference range is 6.3 to 16. The doctors I have been to have only looked at total testosterone. I ordered the free test by myself. I seriously start to think that this have been a hormonal issue for a very long time.

Did you manage to lower your SHBG by taking boron?

 

Practice total celebacy but have great sexual health...??
I'm confused. Explain to me how that works...? If they are celebate how do they know if they are sexually healthy?
It's your path, if you honestly think that denying yourself joyful sexual experiences for years and years will "cure" you, and you believe this must be true because hey you "Reddit", well good luck to you.
I don't base such huge life affecting decisions based on "something I read on Reddit" I base them on my experiences and my experience of monk mode that my sexual health was DOA and there was ZERO evidence that was ever gonna change. So I've kick started my sex life, saw a very sexy girl (escort) last Friday who really turned me on, and for the first time in my life I was able to control orgasm and last as long as I wanted. I get hard thinking about the next time I visit her. I'm confronting my sexual insecurities and making huge progress and enjoying some amazing experiences.
Makes me even more convinced that it is only through actual sexual activity that you can improve sexual health.
Anyway I don't think we're gonna agree.
Good luck!
