    Hi, I have been in a healthy relationship with an active sex life for past 3 years, since last 2 weeks I noticed that I am not able to get an erection, it doesn't get hard enough even when I tried masturbation. I am 35 years old with no underlying health conditions, I used to watch porn and masturbate once before sleeping and had been doing this for some years now, do you think it's gradual PIED? My gf says it's due to Corona lockdown, anyone else in my situation?

    First,Congrats on joining the forum! No doubt it's the best decision you've made for your situation.
    Second, it Sounds like a classic case of a PIED. Do yourself a favor and quit porn FOREVER for good. No masturbation as well! Take a rest from having sex with your partner for at least 30 days in order to let your brain rewire and reset. Your brain's reward center has to refresh and it takes time. If i were you i'd consider talking to your partner. You might be surprised of how she'll be happy to help you and be patient with you. tell her the true reason why you cant function or you can tell her that you can't function due to some private issues. I bet it'll release some pressure. Know that Nofap will help you only if you help yourself. Also know that you're not alone, There are way too many people here with the same case as yours including me in the past.
    I suggest you to check out this link: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/porn-induced-sexual-dysfunctions/
    I bet you'll find useful information and learn about your situation. Read some Success stories, It's always good for motivation!
    This is totally reversible with high will power and patience!

    I hope it's PIED and not some dangerous physical thing down there, I can't seem to stop worrying about it. I am shocked at the contrast in situation so soon, a month ago I would get hard just by cuddling with my gf and now I notice that even when I get erect it dies down in a few seconds. Did you have such contrasting experiences?

    I did. You're describing the exact symptoms that PIED has. You have to realize that porn is a deadly drug and it's crazy how it effects the physical changes in the brain. Quit porn dude, Why do you need porn when you have a GF anyway? Why risking your love life? Do it for your own and your gf sake.
    That's why i said you should give yourself a good amount of time(at least 30-90 days) without any kind of stimulation(no sex as well).
    Let your brain rest for a while and then try having sex with your gf.
    You have nothing to lose anyway, Right?

    Thanks for the support, I have gone through my first 4 day streak without any porn or sex and it feels horrible as my mind keeps thinking about it all the time :/, what should I look for as signs of recovery in order to encourage myself? Also how do I rule out any physical problems down there? I keep reading of people being diagnosed with a veinous leak and I am worried what if I got that through all that wanking ?

    Day 7- been 7 days since i started my recovery, straight off I must say there is a wealth of helpful material on this forum. Things that I used - kegel exercises, zinc and vitamin d supplements and some general exercises are helpful additions to your routine. I also had a frank chat with my gf and she agreed to help with my plan. In terms of some actual results well my morning wood is back so I guess I am on the right path , I don't wanna get too excited and make sure I do my 30 days but things look encouraging so far
