    Okay, not too long ago I wrote a post on how I thought I might have PIED because the first time I had sex I could barely get it hard.

    A recap on that post: I'm 21 now and currently physically (sportive) and mentally (confident person) in good shape and don't drink/drugs. I've started PMO 2 years ago on and off (watching normal porn nothing crazy or weird) and never had any problem getting it hard. long story short I met a girl I really liked, we had sex but I couldn't get fully hard (had a semi then went soft.. after sex while cuddling I'd get semi multiple times).

    so after that event, I thought I had PIED and of course, I did research about it whether I have or not and i came across a video on to Test whether you've PIED or not

    He mentioned if I can PMO but can't MO then you have PIED but if you can PMO and MO you just have sexual performance anxiety. I know I can PMO easily simply from past experience so I didn't try that (don't wanna reset) but I tried M and I easily got a full erection.
    I don't even think I'm addicted to porn because I only used it while M'ing (I never watch porn unless it's for fapping)

    Do I have PIED or was it simply performance anxiety because it was my first time? again, I really like her and wanna get serious with her

    I'm no psychotherapist but do you have a hybrid between PIED and performance anxiety - i.e PIED anxiety? Could your acute awareness of the PIED syndrome be the source of the anxiety? So there's no actual problem, just your mind needlessly worrying that there is?

    How do you feel when you're with this girl? Do you feel totally relaxed with her when playing around? You mentioned feeling generally confident.

    Yes like I've mentioned I'm pretty confident in general and around her and TBH like I mentioned I don't think I'm addicted to P or M because I don't crave it and it certainly doesn't control my life (I choose to PMO instead of feeling compelled to PMO). I'm currently on my 7th day PMO and I haven't had any urge to PMO/MO/M (I'm not finding it hard as some people may find it). The more I think about it although I may think I'm confident it probably was just performance anxiety since it was my first time.

    But hey maybe PIED anxiety could be a thing... Who knows

    But it won't stop me from continuing doing 30 days no PMO

    If you can get a full erection with just your imagination and no Porn. Then you don't have PIED. As long as when you're using your imagination you're not thinking of a porn type scenario.

    It sounds more like performance anxiety to me. Although I could be wrong. It could be that even though you're not a heavy user of porn, your brain still might want more... porn releases a lot more dopamine than just a girl lying there.

    Either way it's better off that you ditch the porn. Porn has never helped anyone.

    yes, I got a full erection with just pure touch stimulation and not from the imagination of/or watching porn. So it's safe to say I don't have PIED and it was just performance anxiety.

    You're 100% right, porn has never helped anyone. therefore, I'm never going back to it. I'm only going to O with partner from now on

    I'm also very curious if you ever found out if it was some form of PIED or "just" performance anxiety?

    Regarding full erection from pure touch stimulation, does that include no fantasizing AT ALL? Or just no fantasizing about porn? For instance, if you had a sexy scenario that happened in real life and you think back to that moment, is that counted as "porn fantasizing"?

    Also regarding full erection, how long do you maintain it if you stop the touch stimulation?
