Did anyone here actually cure his ED with nofap?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Jun 10, 2017.

  1. Hi, I am 21 years old and didn't try to have a healthy relationship with a women for the past 3 years. Everytime I tried to sleep with a girl, I failed. Because kissing, touching etc wouldnt do anything for me. After these experiences my social life was very sparse. Occasionaly I would turn down a girl because of my problem. I have no problem flirting with a girl or approaching her, but I do it just for fun now and not because I want to have sex with her. Would nofap really make that much of a difference?

    Great questions. I will say for sure that semen retention makes you more motivated with women. I have never made it past 6 weeks on NF myself but other people's stories seem to support it. I encourage you to give it a go.

    I'm 22 and experience similar problems. I haven't come far enough to guarantee you that nofap will solve the problems but I'd point you to the countless success stories of people curing their (PI)ED. We gotta work towards that goal man! Also I am bow seeing a sexologist/sexual therapeut. They approach things differently than us here but we work towards the same goals with different toolkits. Maybe you should see one too! Nothing to loose.

    But be prepared, there is a lot of sexologists out there that refuse to "believe" in p-addiction and PIED even in light of the increasing amount of evidence of it's existance.

    Good luck man!

  6. My ED has improved significantly since I started my reboot. When I first started it was just dead, lifeless I could not get hard anymore even with the most extreme of porn… Now I get morning wood again and I can make myself hard with just thoughts that arouse me no need for any porn. Seeing an attractive girl gets me hard as well. I can’t say for sure how its going to be once I start dating again but I will say that I feel so much better since I started this reboot. My libido is back I’m raring to go but I have another month at least to wait for 90 days :)

    Yeah, I can confirm that nofap definitely helps with ED. I had problems to stay hard, and within three weeks of nofap I would stay hard for much longer than before.
     
  8. Thank you guys, this made me feel more optimistic. I am on day 3 now and I didnt even feel the urge to pmo once in these days, dont know if this is good or bad, maybe its because I am in contact with other females now. But I am still anxious about the sex part, I cant avoid it forever, but at the same time, I wouldnt get an erection at my current state.

    Question: Is there anxiety envolved in your problem, like are you worried if it will "work" while making out? Because that alone could prevent you from getting hard.

  12. Yes some anxiety too. The girl I meet atm slept with me two times (without sex, just sleeping), I could sleep like 3-4 hours max and needed 2 hours to fall asleep. Interestingly, when we cuddled I got a boner, but if she initiates it, I dont feel anything. But touching solely or making out doesnt arouse me. Hard to explain. Ill see where it goes, she probably wont stay for a long time if I dont make a move.

    Ok, that sounds very much like an anxiety issue, especially because you said you got a boner while cuddling (so when there was no pressure). I see two options if you want to make it happen.
    a) make a move and talk with her if it does not work, tell he you have some kind of performance anxiety. If the pressure is gone it might work again.
    b) get a prescription for some PDE5 blocker. You might just need to use them a few times to get confidence back, than just the knowledge to have them as a back up might be enough to get you going.
    While I am experimenting with nofap to beat delayed ejaculation and not ED, I do think nofap could help with it. Even after a few days without fapping I definetly become more reactive to sexual stimuli. However to get full benefits you prob needs more time, and for servere ED (even if only psychological) I am not sure if the effects are strong enough.
     
  14. Thanks for your reply. If it is mainly anxiety related, isnt nofap counterproductive then? I experience a flatline very early, still didnt have the urge to masturbate (day 4).

  15. I don't think it's anxiety related. Here's why:

    I've experienced the exact same thing as you. You can read a brief background to my story in the link in my signature, but basically I once had a very high sex drive and no problems at all, and then after a period without women, trying to have sex again was problematic. PI-ED occurred, and the worry of it happening again was what caused my 'performance anxiety'. Certain other anxieties existed around not being able to get a full erection if I ever did manage to get one, such as whether or not I could perform well enough.

    I'm now on 25 days (story below) but I've gone periods before without PMO, maybe 3 weeks at a time, and those breaks seemed to have helped me. I don't know if it was just that I was feeling more positive and therefore less anxious, but I felt slightly more horny but definitely found it easier to get erect.

    In summary: what started as PI-ED triggered anxieties. Curing the PI-ED will go a long way to putting to rest those anxieties.
     
  16. Thanks man. I obviously wont stop with nofap, especially if it helped so many people with PIED. The girl I met doesnt have interest in seeing me anymore, I knew this would happen sooner or later, but its still sad. Now heading to day 5 and looking forward to an active day tomorrow.
     
  17. Day 8 now
    Feeling less emotional now in comparison to my first days
    Probably going to meet a new girl soon
    Flatline not reached yet

    My SO of 7+ years has suffered from ED our entire relationship. We were unable to even have intercourse successfully for months after we became exclusive due to his inability to get or maintain an erection and/or ejaculate unless he used medication. Since his insurance wouldn't cover it, we couldnt have sex nearly as often as we would have liked since the meds were $100 per pill. I had always thought it was due to his age since he is almost 10 years older than me. It's only been since March of this year that I found out it has been a problem for him for many, many years since he has been addicted to PMO since his pre-teen/teen years and is in his 40's now. We were trying to hard mode PMO together so that I could be supportive but since we have been working hard on our relationship and trying to connect, learning intimacy and vulnerability with eachother, etc, we have had intercourse a few times in the last 2 months. I can say he has benefited GREATLY from not masturbating, looking at porn, etc anymore. He did have a few issues initially with maintaining an erection, firmness, endurance, and stuff like that. But each time, he had less issues and if a problem did occur it was over quickly instead of spoiling the situation and causing us to give up. The last 2 times, he did not have any problem getting hard at all, nor in staying hard. He also lasted longer than he used to (was a bit of a minute man before) even though he said he has much more sensation now than he ever did and everything felt better for him, including O. I also noticed that he was definitely harder than I ever remember him being and much larger. Larger lengthwise and thickness. I imagine the fact that he is harder is what makes him larger but since I dont have a penis, I cant say for sure.
    So, in my opinion and Im sure my SO would agree, keep with it and dont PMO. The benefits are sooooo worth it! :)

    Hi man

    I had the exact same problem when I was 21 and met my girlfriend. Actually I had the same problem with every girl that I had a sexual relationship and went back with. I think part of my problem was both anxiety and fapping constantly.

    I stopped fapping and I found this helped, but I also found it was not easy. I think I had stopped for about 15 -20 days and I had flatlined. So I was still struggling to keep an erection with my girlfriend, but it was much better than before when I could not even keep it up.

    I have not yet achieved anything like 90 days. But one thing that really helped me early on was reading a book about giving women fellatio:

    She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman (Kerner) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000FC1PRK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_

    If I had a problem with getting it up straight away or it just did not seemed to be working, I would think fuck it, I can pleasure her other ways that she can enjoy. Once you have spoken to her a few times and talked about, you should get her to orgasm often. It is a good feeling in its self. Then if you still can not get it up rest assured that you have at least pleasured your girlfriend.

    After a few times that we had been together and I found I trusted my girlfriend. I told her about my problem and she told me don't worry about it and she liked my new skills that more than compensated for it.

    It took away some of my performance anxiety and me wanting or needing to finish. It became more about pleasuring her. Eventually my erectile dysfunction stopped, however it can come back if I relapse badly. But I have not suffered from it for pretty much all this year. I did suffer from not being able to finish for 6 months into our relationship, but that eventually subsided after some effort with NoFap.
