Are these problems common while PMO for a long time?

This is correct. Your issue with struggling to get an erection and ejaculation quality are both based around PMO. The more you PMO the more likely you are to desensitise your brain. Your increased struggle to gain an erection is your brain needing stronger and newer stimulation to achieve an erection.

NoFap is about resetting your brain to its original sensitivity level so that you can gain an erection with ease. However, if you continue to Fap to porn regularly, you risk losing the ability to gain an erection with a real partner. My advice would be to carry out a 90 day reboot to start with. There is no telling whether a 90 day reboot will do the job, 90 days is just the precursor target for those starting out. You may find it takes less time to recover, but definitely get yourself on a reboot before you do anymore damage.

Helpful information is available throughout the forum, feel free to ask any questions!

 

Damage may not be the best word, but if you continue to masturbate to porn in the way you have been you risk making yourself impotent. Meaning unable to get an erection or orgasm. The fact that you are able to achieve an erection with much effort shows that you are not at that point yet.

 

He means that the PIED will only become worse and harder to re-cover from over time. If you continue the regular PMO, this will only get much harder to break away from into your 30s and 40s. At some point, sex with a REAL person will be difficult at best. That's what PMO does - it destroys your ability to get aroused by a REAL person. Even someone you love dearly. The addiction over-rides that feeling absolutely. And then you have other off-shoots from that feeling - depression, shame, guilt, feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, self-hatred, etc.

Bottom Line - The more years you spend with PMO, the more difficult the recovery is. And it will severely damage your relationships, your career, and your dignity. It gets worse. Like any addiction, it damages your brain. Think about that sentence.

Watch the video on YouTube "Your Brain on Porn" by Gary Wilson. It explains what happens to your brain after years of the porn addiction. It's a real "wake up" video.

Best to you, friend.

 

Don't feel bad, trust me if we all knew this before we all wouldn't be here!

Well done on realising and taking the steps to stop. At least now you know and can take the necessary steps to end your addiction and improve yourself.

 

You are 19 , don't be sad , you are young . You have all the time to improve.
Many notice it when it's too late.

Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.
So if you have any temptation , is okay to masturbate if you can't handle the stress , but don't porn anymore.
No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines.
If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.

The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist

 

Agreed with above. Do a little research and understand what is happening inside your brain and why it is happening. Understanding the science to the addiction is valuable info. I found it imperative to my start of all this.

I am experiencing flatline right now. But I'm not panicked. I didn't expect it NOW, but I expected it at some point. I was already informed of what it was and why it happens....so, I'm ok with it. And I'm absolutely confident it will subside at some point.

One of my biggest weapons in my battle with addiction is my confidence. I've read A LOT on the addiction. That reading has informed me and prepared me for what comes. With that info, I feel confident. It's the old adage "Knowledge is Power". It's the same thing. I feel prepared therefore, I feel confident.

I remember when I took a Communications course in college years back. We had to do some public speaking. Students were mortified, and some actually had panic attacks. Public speaking is terrifying for most people. I was scared, but NOT in any real panic. But what did I do? I listened to the teacher who said, "If you are prepared, you are ok. The ones who fall apart completely, are the ones who are NOT prepared". So....I "prepared". I PRACTICED. I visualized. I prepared. And from that preparation, I became confident that I could do the task at hand...well. And I nailed it. Absolutely NAILED it. Why? I was totally prepared and confident from that preparation. You HAVE to prepare.

The knowledge (from the teacher) gave me the idea to prepare, which gave me the confidence to succeed, which gave me the victory.

Life is all about these simple concepts. It really is.

 

You are welcome brother,i am in the same boat with you,and majority of pmo addict for a long run experience the same problem,the condition is called porn induced erectyle dysfunction,there are thousands of nofappers that claims the return of normal sexuality,arousal,erection,orgasm,etc after abstaining from porn for 90days,but extremely addicted victims need a year or longer,abstainance from porn for some period of time is known as REBOOTING

After rebooting you must try REWIRING,i.e start a regular sex with a girl,it is said that the first sexual encounter may show a percentage or degree of ED,but will vanish after may be 2 month

WARNING you must remove porn,porn subtitute,and masturbation from your life,avoid edging,get rid of dirty thought through meditation,

Thanks

The key in your question is the word 'arousal'. The moment you become aroused is the moment your brain begins the process of releasing the chemical dopamine into your system. So by porn we basically mean anything that will trigger you or cause arousal. Tough I know.

If you want to be strict and to the point, I would go for a hard reboot, which involves no Porn, Masturbation or Orgasm. Maybe start with 90 days and see how you go. That would be quickest route to fixing your erectile problem.

 

It's not a problem . But be aware, in first weeks you will be more sensitive about these contents.
Everybody knows when he is exaggerating. For exemple to see lots of youtube video of sexy girls , to replay the video . If it's not casual unwanted event.

The mind could trick you. For exemple in my first weeks , i wanted see movies with sexual scenes. I thought they were just art ...
In early times, better to avoid many stimuli, you are more sentitive

 

actually i try to masturbate without porn but i canot i always need porn for an erection even though i canot become erect except after manual stimulation (i get morning wood occasionally and i get erection to my gf but ot goes away quickly)

 

Brother if you find social media accounts triggerring you in any way then deactivate all the accounts,that was what i did too,i am now 74 days away from pmo,it is difficult but try it,i know you will think countless times before trying it, but trust me and try it,

If you can carefully study your triggers and how to manage urges then you can be freed from pmo,hope this helps

 

if the situation is so hard , go for hard mode with No PMO

 

it seems tgat porn is no longer exciting however i need to watch it

 

why?

 

because i always do
even if i decided to stop it i always need it for some joy maybe?
