Hi all, Been rebooting now for 10 months, in which time I've gone leaps and bounds in recovery and have been able to have successful sex since suffering from PIED over the last few years. Two days ago I decided to test myself to see if I could get hard by myself but went a bit further that I feel I should have and ended up relapsing. The past two days I have felt in full on flatline and back to having PIED despite this being my only relapse in 10 months. Whats happened? I didn't think it would hit me this hard and I hadn't even watched porn? So I'm very confused.
I know it's the cure. I was cured, well at least so it seemed. What I mean is that does this one relapse mean I have completely reset everything. It sure feels like it right now. Also, I didn't relapse to porn, just touch.
How did you relapse if you didn't look at porn? Or do you feel like you relapsed because you went back into flatline? Did you receive any mental or physical improvements while on the NoFap streak? I'm just curious.
I masturbated so I relapsed. And now I'm back in flatline, shrunken penis, brain fog, the lot. I thought you could masturbate without porn but apparently not. I've been PMO free for 10 months before this...
May I ask, when you orgasmed to touch was that orgasm feeling weak or was it stronger? Just curious because you didn't look at porn for months and I am just curious for my own personal knowledge.
No way, I won't do it. So it was stronger? That's good! Was it stronger than before you started the streak?
No no, I understand that's not good at all. You misunderstood what I said and meant, I meant that the orgasm was stronger since abstaining.
I would guess the pathways are still inside the brain. Many do say addiction, even though lots of symptoms have healed, will continue to take two years possibly. Having sex I have heard people say shouldn’t cause a relapse but you never know. As far as 10 months that is exceptional but you possibly need more time for the head to heal the pathways. It’s great that PIED has gone away for you in the past. I do not know your years under addiction but I’m around 15 years and in flatline with PAWs lingering at four months now. How many months for you before you actually saw increase in libido or spontaneous election ..??
I do not understand why orgasm put you in misery in reboot. But it always does to me. I used to have a lot of 60 days streak in a row. I could watch porn and still watched porn and still felt normal. As soon I MO, I'm back to misery along with harder withdrawal symptoms.
Did you fantasize ? Or did you think of washing your car when you masturbated? Because fantasizing to porn reels in your head is just a watered down version of porn and accesses the same neuropathways.
I took me 3/4 months before my dick started to work again. But that was no porn, masturbation, absolutely zero! I'm back with PIED now though... Quarantine has killed me
Hello mate, hope you’re well. Ive just been reading your Post of when you relapsed, great effort getting to 10 months! How are you feeling now? Is your pied still there? The reason I am asking is because I relapsed after 104 days, and it took 2 weeks for the flatline to arrive. It’s a bad one. Prior to my relapse I was feeling so good in body and mind, my flaccid penis was looking thicker, but now it has shrivelled back up to how it was when i was fappin all of the time. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hey mate, It's been sporadic. I've mainly been having sex with Ed pills as I relapsed hard the last few months of lockdown. Managed to have sex on day 17 of my recent 20 day streak which is still ongoing. Difficult to get hard at times. Don't really have morning wood. Sex seems to have put me into a flatline again too.
