Hey guys... My story

been reading this for about a month but just signed up today. What brought me here was what I now realise to be PIED, which has hampered my relationships for the last five years. I'm a pretty good looking guy and have a pretty good way with women so I never find myself without but for as long as I can remember I have usually masturvated to porn too. I started masterbating and looking at porn and wanking from pretty young age. Lost my virginity at 14 and have never went too long without a girl to sleep with. I have always still masturbated tho. Sometimes up to three or four times a day whilst still having daily sex. So slowly but surely I started to get erection problems which I had put down to my then party lifestyle. I stopped partying as much but the ed continued to get worse. I stopped fapping as much but ed still there.

Eventually about a month ago I found this and started nofap. Definitely hornier and ED pretty much never happens now. Some issues I do have is that I am one moody bastard. I don't like my gf as much as I used to and i basically see her as a sex object now. Before if she didn't want to fuck cos she was tired I knew I would just fap after she went to sleep then go to sleep myself. Now I end up not able to sleep and get seriously pissed off with her the next day and just generally tired, moody, frustrated and angry at the world. Making me less productive and less likeable at work. Pretty much everyone and everything about my life annoys me. I think basically before I was just so consumed by dopamine that I stopped caring. Facing up to it now with this new mindset is maddening. I think that's part of it. Realising how much off my life I have wasted coasting and wanking myself off to increasingly specific porn.

Absolute worst part is I just relapsed today whilst my gf at work. She was too tired to fuck last night so I ended up having a wank this morning cos I was feeling really horny and frustrated and pissed off. Not brightest thing iv ever done. I'm starting Nofap again today tho and have signed up here to get a bit support should I get to stage of breaking again.

I'm 29 and live in scotland.

 

Hey man, after one month of NoFap I found I got an erection much easier and always maintained it. My gf is up for fucking most nights but maybe a couple of times a week after she's had to work long hours or deal with random chick shit then she isn't and just wants to go to sleep which is kinda understandable. The prob is if I dont cum at night then I take ages to get to sleep and then wake up really moody and frustrated. How you guys get to sleep on nights you don't fuck?

The other thing I'm kinda worried about is that it's really putting a strain on my relationship cos I really can't be bothered with my gf and notice that I'm starting to be less affectionate than when I used to fap. I think I'm just becoming more alpha, maybe this is the asshole I was always supposed to be. Maybe I just need to go get a different gf now. I'm generally more of an asshole all round when on nofap actually. After a month I just felt equally depressed, more frustrated, just as lethargic. Maybe I just need to go longer to see more benefits. One things for sure tho. It cured my PIED and that's worth all the negatives in itself!
