Dead dick or hypogonadism

If you are conditioned to the hyperstimulus of porn, you will find yourself less aroused, and less often, when you stop looking at it.

Keep away and you will get better. Don't let concerns about fewer/weaker erections tempt you back into looking at P 'just to check it works'. It still works the same as it did before. The porn is the poison, not the medicine. Over time your erections will become stronger without the need for such extreme visual stimuli.

 

I didn't have this problem, but I've read enough posts on the issue to recognise a pattern. Keeping away from porn works. Keeping using porn causes erectile dysfunction for some people.

 

I had PIED and it takes time. Now, 16 months sober it is so much better. You can see results in weeks if you are diligent.

Half attempts, get you nothing.

It was the thing that caused me
to stop P and explain
it all the my wife.

Stop P, don’t touch yourself down the except to keep clean. Read everything you can, listen to pod casts on this.

It goes away in its sweet time. Read up on Karrezza which may in time be helpful to you.

You are in the right place;
Good work finding your way here.

 

You can loose your horniness,
Or at least the ability without further increasing P variety.

I think I was still horny, but without the ability much.

Abstaining from PMO complely is the start of Re introducing normalcy and may likely include flatline non horniness.

May not be able to get and or maintain an erection. Really sucks, huh.

One avenue is to see a doctor for other underlying issues. Blue pills delay the inevitable, I’m told, but I never resorted to those.

Let me know if you have
more questions.

 

Yes. It does not react to normal sexual stimuli. P is so over the top unnatural. The body attuned to that, as my understanding.

It can re attune if you rewire, reboot, abstain. It’s hard to do, but doable.

Half measures avail us nothing.

 

May have gotten random erections,
But far reduced.

Eventually morning wood returned.

Less than semi hard with M.
Or not much of anything

 

Before NoFap.

NoFap was the beginning of my understanding of this and the beginning of recovery.

And Ybop.
Your Brain On Porn.

 

Since I joined NF, No P or M.

1/1/2018 as my counter notes.
Really 12/28/17, but it seemed easier to go with the first.

I’m married and told my wife within a week of sobriety.

This is a huge paradigm shift in everything and it takes
all your effort to mobilize.

I do not entertain P thoughts when they intrude and they do intrude all through the day. It gets somewhat easier with time and practice and support.

Avoid/no movies with sex scenes or certain actresses. Avoid/no ogling.

Don’t beat yourself up.
Our society loves P,
but we don’t have to.

Progress not perfection.

It’s easier to abstain 100%,
than cut back I think.
