    This is in regards to PIED. I am not linking to the article as per the rules. but you can easily google it if you need to.

    It says watching too much porn can lead to erectile difficulties with a real partner because the more you watch, the more you need that type of scenario to get turned on. This happened to me when I paid for some pleasure but failed to get an erection. The best thing to do, according to this article, is to stop masturbating altogether.

    I tried no ejaculating to porn but even that was tough. I even rub and touch my penis from time to time. I fapped thirty minutes ago but would like to start sooner than later. but this will be tough because i really enjoy the sensation I get from watching porn. Depriving myself from that for 2-3 months seems really impossible for me.

    Says the flatline happens for weeks depending on the severity of the addiction. Mine is certainly severe. I've been fapping daily for years. The doctor assures that this is temporary.

    I know its hard man but push through! I was in your same situation 3 and a half months ago, fapping 2-3 times a day for years,thinking I couldnt even go a month without pmo. But every week it got easier and easier. Now at 105 days no pmo I dont even think about porn or masturbation anymore. Its all worth it brother just hang in there!

    Paying for sex is probably another reason it didn't work. If you don't feel connected to your partner you get more nervous and that can cause ED too.
    Not saying porn isn't the main cause but had the sex been with a girl you feel comfortable with and it may have worked.

    this may be a reason it didn't work as well. but i should get hard at the presence of a woman doing everything...

    thanks for the help everyone. i hope it works. but i'm scared that it wont. i want to pay again for that service when i deprive myself for 90 days.

    I am, its not 100% erection yet, probably around 40% but Its a lot better than it was 3 months ago when I couldn't get an erection at all. The quickness of the reboot is unique to each fapstronaut so recovery time depends on you and if you are rewiring during your reboot.

    Cool thank you. I have survived 2 and a half days. But I still try to get a morning erection when thinking. And I touch it just to make sure it's okay. Like a pet, lol.

    I wonder when it will get hard in normal situations with naked women. I'm shocked that it didn't. It's damaged really bad.
