    Hi everyone! I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this community, and I'm glad to be a part of it now. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

    I'll tell my full story someday, but for now, I just want to say that I've been watching porn and masturbating regularly since I was 12 years old. I'm outgoing, healthy, and very active, but my ED is having a tremendously negative effect on my ability to make and sustain lasting romantic relationships. I suspect that my ED is PIED based on the PIED test, but there's only one way to be sure, and I'm going for it.

    If any of you have success stories on how you overcame PIED, I'd love to hear them! Also, if anyone else is currently rebooting and has experienced it's sexual health benefits, please let me know so I can use it as motivation!

    Welcome! Abstaining from PMO has benefits at 3 levels:

    1. Physical
    2. Mental
    3. Spiritual

    While I usually focus more on mental & spiritual benefits, the physical benefits are also there. In my case it was not ED, but PE. And when I resolved not to PMO, I could control my erection > 30 minutes and did not ejaculate at all - even in an intensive session of sex with my partner - earlier I could not even hold for 5 minutes. [However, I personally wanted to abstain from sex also (am on Monk mode), so I reset my counter.] Anyways - that was the closest I could comment on how abstaining from PMO showed visible physical benefits to me during sex. All the best with your journey!
