Daily urge to fap but facing ED Like symptoms (Need help)

ChrisPaul: I only have 7 days, because only last week did I conclude that masturbating with porn was causing my problem. I tried a number of other things first, which I won't go into here.

I look forward to us both regaining our health. I'm not sure I'll talk about NoFap to everybody I know, but I do have an early-teen nephew who should be given some clues - or at least his parents should.

 

Yep, if I got my e.d at the same time I was on Propecia I might be on that forum, but luckily I had already stopped for a few years before it happened.
I've had this same feeling as u many times.
But the one truth for me is too many orgasms really hurt my libido and performance. The fact that I am a porn addict doesn't help.
So either way this is the place I need to be and hope for the best.

 

Drug testing.... is very dubious. I think they look for side effects for 6 weeks, on drugs that are then prescribed forever. The researchers are mostly owned by Big Pharma.

Stress and Anxiety can certainly contribute to ED - I've nearly gone limp on a woman because thoughts of work intruded, but luckily I was able to chase those away.

Given the experiences here, for any given ED patient who uses video porn while masturbating multiple times per week, I'd now suspect porn first. Especially because if he's using porn to masturbate, he is most likely able to have an erection then - that pretty much excludes physical causes.

The proposed cure costs nothing, and can harm nobody. UNLESS the guy is reporting other issues with stress and anxiety, e.g. not sleeping, not eating, stuff like that.

 

Were you having any ED issues when you started that 6 week streak? Most people don't go NoFap just for the fun of it.

 

If you are getting an erection it's a good sign. Means that physically you are able too.


1. How many times a day do you fap?
2. Do you watch porn when you do it?
3. What is the pattern? You just click around or stick to one video? Try to switch to some rough prob to see if you still going to lose an erection.

I am not saying that you do not have medical condition, I am not a doctor but porn does affect your brain and rewires it so you need more and more excitement. At some point it's not enough and people go into fetishes like watch BDSM,...

 

This isn't just some quick fix lol especially for those who have pmoing for the longest and treat NoFap as a means to an end then you will never really get the benefits of the process I don't know when and if my erections will come back but I know fapping and porn isn't even an option and only hiderance not only to my physical but to my mental as well

 

what does de-sensitized your brain mean?

 

The constant novelty and stimulation from porn makes your brain less sensitive to normal arousal cues, such as being naked with one woman. Since the impulses for erection arise in the brain, you get to the point where your junk doesn't work with "just" the stimulation from a woman. At least that's what happened to me.

 

OP: Search for PIED, Reboot, Flatline, Chaser effect. Your Brain On Porn. Reboot Nation.

Etc, etc...

Educate yourself on this stuff and you'll be better armed for your battle. And you'll win!
