    Hello,

    I'm a 27 year old male who is experiencing an addiction to porn, and I believe that I am suffering from PIED. I have been watching porn for over 10 years, with the last few years (since a very bad breakup) straying away from the basic lighter stuff and getting into harder not your typical porn content. Over the last two years I haven't really been able to get a proper erection and I've gone to the Dr about this who advised me that it's all psychological. I was prescribed some viagara which did the trick when I was sexually active. I haven't had sex in 7 months and the only way for me to get hard is porn.

    I haven't masturbated or watched porn for the last four days and I haven't had any form of erection.

    Can someone confirm if this is indeed PIED?

    How can I get back to normal and start having proper erections again?

    Any tips or advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Your New Beginning.


    Although you would need professional medical advice to confirm a medical condition, your description of PIED seems to be accurate. You have acknowledged the porn addiction. The question is if you are ready to put porn behind you?

    A reboot is the method to get back to normal, and quitting porn is the way to stay normal.

    This is YOUR recovery and you must own it. You may be familiar with other addiction recovery programs. The first 90 days of these programs require meeting everyday for the first 90 days of recovery. I suggest visiting and contributing to NoFap each of your first 90 days. Glean wisdom from the strong, encourage the new, and be wary of those who are negative and make excuses. Add the words of your journey to those of others and help create this wonderful narrative of transformation. I have made my NoFap time a replacement for all web surfing and social media. Be wary of depending on technology like counters and web filters. Understand that the battle is between your ears more so than between your legs. Each time you are tempted to go to that foul place, you must remember the man you are working to become, and then choose to be in control. Do not allow porn to steal another second of your life.

    Invictus
    William Ernest Henley, 1849 - 1903
    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul

    Be Strong my Friend.
