    I watched my first porn movie of 20 seconds after 90 days of my reboot just to test how I will react.
    I did not edge or did nothing, it was all because I wanted to test.

    I got 30 - 40 % erections, and for 2-3 seconds I felt a surge of excitement like I was watching porn for the first time but then it Went away, and Then I thought,
    damn - it doesnt excite me anymore, i should just turn it off.
    And then I turned it off.
    Do you think I need more time for my dopamine receptors to reset?
    Will I be completely healed and cured and will my dopamine receptors completely reset?

    YOU SEE?
    THIS IS CALLED DOPAMINE RECEPTORS UPREGULATION/ RESET.
    You are on your way to recovery, but the recovery has just begun, it will take a lot of time. maybe around 3-4 months or maybe even longer but you will get cured since you felt that excitement and you had partial erection.

    It's all good , just hang in there :)

  4. I think you should just forget about porn and time for your receptors to reset. Just focus on being yourself and maintaining a natural state. We were not created to sit at home all day watching porn and jerking off anyway. You will probably know the answer to your question when you have the option of sex or other rewarding events. Dopamine is not only generated during sexual activity. It is known as a reward or motivation neurotransmitter, that is also generated when you get an A for an exam or got a promotion from years of hard work, for instance. Hope this helps.

    Cheers.

    I don't care how long it takes as long as I can be cured of ED
    Today i saw some hope as if i felt the same way when i first watched porn,
    Same rush for 2-3 seconds but then exact same feeling as my brain said,
    I know this shit and erection went down :(.

    My purpose of nofap is to cure ED ,
    Do you know how it feels when you can't get it up infront of yoir partner?
    The guilt and embarrasment associated with it and not feeling like a man.
    I am doing other things in life, taking care of house and family but i also wanted to test my erections since i have put 90 days of effort in nofap..

    Is this psychic phenomenon that almost all dudes suffering from flatlines, withdrawal symptoms, partial erections LMAO.
    As far as your situation, yes you are improving,
    30 % erection for 3 seconds mean only one thing - YOU NEED MORE TIME IN REBOOT.
    Your brain is rewiring but it needs more time,
    Your dopamine receptors are coming back to life and are becoming more sensitive but you have to understand that its a very slow process, it takes time and a lot of patience.
    Now, don't test your penis before 90 days now, enough with testing.
    Now you know, you are going in right direction, you are healing, give it 90 days and im sure you will atleast have 60-70 % erection for a minute or two,
    Thats the least, it can be 100 % aswell but im just giving an estimate .

    I get your point and i will wait for 90 days but don't you think, even after 100% healing, it will still not stimulate the same way it once did?
    I dont think i can maintain am erection while watching porn for more than 5 minutes like i used to when i first started porn,
    I dont think i will ever reach to that stage :(

    What makes you think like that...?
    Strength of erection and how long it remains erect is directly linked to constant dopamine supply,
    The more dopamine relased the harder the erections and the longer the erections, and when your receptors block dopamine because of desensitization, erection goes down.
    When erection is going down, it requires more stimulation like pussy or hand, that will raise more dopamine and keep erection, you getting the point?

    And what else do you want 5 minutes erection? I mean you will penetrate your partner within a minute , why you need 5 minutes of rock hard erection? Thats absurd.

    It might be true that you might not get 100 % sensitivity of your receptors but who cares? You will have enough sensitivity to give satisfying sex to your partner, i guarantee you that,
    Although i still think, you might get 100% sensitivity but im not sure.

    I get it, so physically im fine but its all about dopamine and receptors
    Will i get 100% erections in 90 days now?
    And yeah, im happy if 100 % erections last only for 2 minutes , that will do the job,
    To completely get 100% sensitivity back, do i need a year of reboot?.

    It is a process, yes you might get 100 % back in 1 year but you may not aswell,
    no one can give you accurate answer to this question, after years of dopamine abuse on your receptors now you want a QUICK FIX? it doesnt work like this,
    you have to put it in the time, I would say 14- 18 months is usually the time when most guys get completely healed with hard mode no PMO
    Some are lucky to get healed in 1 year , it also depends on your age aswell,
    you are recovering fast, so yeah around 1 year , i think you will be completely healed but no one can give accurate answer, you might get cured at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or 12 months, no one really knows
    you just have to wait and focus on other things, you can't put your life on hold because of NoFap, keep doing other things, and brain rewiring will take its care.
    Keep calm and have patience , nothing in life is a QUICK FIX, you developed this addiction for years, you can't undo it in weeks or months, have patience.

    This discussion is getting really interesting...ummm
    @Hungry_Shark How would you know that you are cured, maybe in 3 months you can have 100 % erections for 2 minutes and then your boner goes down, is that normal?
    Or, should you continue to do nofap, unless you have 100 % erection for 30-45 minutes, would that be normal? and would you then consider yourself cured? and resume sex after that?
    I mean, whats the benchmark to see if your are cured of ED or not, or is it getting random boners while looking at hot women?

    YES, according to me thats when you are cured, and until you reach this stage (100 % erections for 30 minutes) you are not cured, you are healed but not cured.
    100 % erection for 30 minutes is ideal but very difficult to achieve although many guys have success stories that say that they can retain erections for as long as they want, so its not impossible but certainly thats the ideal we strive towards. :)

    This is really informative discussion, I am getting my sensitivity back though, but I still can't get over my withdrawal symptoms and you guys have begun to have erections just by thinking about sex,
    Im getting demoralized :( :p
    But hey, im not gonna back down, i will fight and will reach where you all are.. :p
    Goal - having an erection without touching my penis and keeping it as long as i want. :)

    That might take almost an year to recover or more than that to get those results,
    I guess that should be the goal of everyone, anything less is just cheating your hard work that you did for so many days,
    However, getting partial erection by thinking or feeling horny while seeing a real woman is actually you going in right direction and that's the key,
    once you are on this path, you will eventually get cured, now, its just about how long it takes for you to get cured :)
