    Yeah its definitely normal for PIED to make fantasy ineffective for achieving an erection. I knew I was well on my way to being healed once I could start getting hard or getting semis to my thoughts alone (not porn fantasy either!).

    What you describe with erection quality going down after an orgasm is fairly normal, it still happens to me often but its improving with time. Hell there were a few times where I could ejaculate in the evening and get just as hard only 30minutes later. The whole reboot process is non-linear and more like a damn yo-yo.

    If you're in your teens or 20s I seriously doubt you have low T, there would be other symptoms showing up.

    Hi All I seem to relate to what you have just wrote. I only started looking at porn when I was 28, so hopefully I will snap out of my "ED" quickly as I have been married for 13 years and only split in January of this year, partly due to not being able to ejaculate normally. I tried everything, the Vagra (I had to change the name slightly to get by the forum rules) worked sometimes, I go to gym 3 times a week and lost 10kg ( I was 100kg and now I am 90kg I am 5' 11" ) I have still got a bit to lose, my goal is 84kg. I went to a very good Doctor who took my bloods and ran all the tests. The tests showed my Testosterone level was low, now its that of an 20 year old.
    I only started to suspect that it must be me watching porn that was causing the the problem of not ejaculating and sometimes not getting hard or getting hard and losing it soon after.
    Then I found this forum and boy if only I found it sooner.
    The table below shows the T levels of healthy men, my first test came back as, TT was 190(Very Low) FT 2.2 (Very Low) my SHBG was 72 and my Estrogen was too high 68 pg/mL
    After many tests since my initial injection my last blood test showed: TT is 720 my FT is 14 my SHBG is 28 with my Estrogen is at 22 pg/ml. This was not easy by any means there is a lot of things you have to do exercise regularly eat properly don't drink to much. The med I take is NOBIDO (I had to change the name slightly) to get by the forum rules. That injection lasts 10 weeks. I tell you it gave me a new lease in life , it took away my depression, I had more energy felt stronger and my libido went up. But I wasted that by doing porn :(

    Today I am into 24 days of my first goal of reaching 30 days without "PMO" and the rebooting seems to be doing its thing. I'm in the flat-line period and it seems nothing is happening in the gonad area. But if I see a girl that I like the look of I start to raise the flag or if I start to think about making love to my girl friend that does the trick to.
    I have no other choice really but to take the "Hard Mode" route as I wont be home till late in November and that's when I see my girl.
    I am really determined to make this work as I don't want to lose her. I broke the subject to her last night andI think she thought I wasn't really into her as i could not ejaculate inside her when we were in the sack last time I was home. I was a bit nervous as to how she would take it, as a long distance relationship is hard at the best of times. Any way my target was 30 days and no "PMO" then my plan was to masturbate using my imagination. But after reading and reading this forum as much as I can I have decided to carry on with the "Hard Mode" and wait till I meet my girl. That will be 73 days PMO as I may not get to meet her straight away.
    Guys I will be 17 days short of the 90 days is there any other sign that I can look out for to show that I might be on the road to recovery. Thanks to all.

    No, it shows the average testosterone levels of men without significant health problems. However--and this is important--it includes data from men who suffer from low testosterone.

    Testosterone has been dropping significantly in the last few decades, to the point where even otherwise healthy men have about 66% of the testosterone of the average guy in the '80s. The average charts have come down accordingly. In other words, what's considered normal now was considered way too low back then. What's normal is not equivalent to what's healthy.

    Lots of men have low testosterone. Before you go and get TRT, consider revamping your lifestyle. Make sure you're getting sunlight, exercise, and eating healthily first.

    Hello I am sorry but you are incorrect. It shows the average T levels of men yes but not men with low T levels

    Hello Opportunity for better I am sorry but I totally disagree with you.
    Just because the average healthy mans T levels are dropping over the years does not mean we have to accept this. Sure it happens naturally as you get older I agree But what is happening is not natural there is a reason for it and it must be found and what ever it is that is causing it it must be stopped. We should not just accept it.

    MMMMM I am beginning to see your point. What you are saying is that figures in the table that I posted are to low compared to say 10 years ago then I accept your statement. I agree. The T levels around the end of the 1st world war were supposed to be above 1000. Only body builders take steroids to get to that level. So yes our T levels are slowly dropping. If not stopped it could be the beginning of the end

    I also agree that all tests should be done to rule all other possibilities first and not just assume that it is low T that is the cause. In my case a full set of blood work was done and although it was not the root cause it was a contributing factor.

    Precum is a good sign dude, it means you're healthy. Precum is completely normal, it just means you're getting aroused and preparing yourself for entering a girl (or guy, lol).

    If you're getting hard in your sleep you should be happy because it means your penis is healthy and your T levels are normal. It means you are a physically healthy male. Not being horny during the day or getting sexual feelings is very typical for rebooters. When guys use porn all the time and have PIED they tend to lose erections in their sleep (no one knows why this happens yet) but if you're getting nocturnal erections again I'd say its a sure sign you're healing nicely. Just don't relapse!

    The original post is on point.
    All porn does is teaches your brain to get excited from "non-realistic" sex. Normal sex with normal girl is not excited any more.
    Hence you do not get hard or can not maintain erection.

    All you need to do is to rewire your brain. So any normal staff like kissing a girl, having sex with a girl.... Is always allowed.
    As long as you do not watch porn.

    For example, you kissed a girl, she left, you excited and started to M to porn - BAD.
    Just kissing, touching ... Is actually good.

    Sex with prostitute is good for you. If you can do it go for it (normal sex, not some fetishes). The only negative would be that you are not training yourself to get girls.

    The only reason you need first 30 days of no POM is because most likely (if you are reading this) you can not have sex.
    And chances are high that after 30 days you will be able to do it.
    Hell, even M is okay once in a while. Just do not watch porn. And do not do it every day to not loose sensitivity.

    Point is to get your brain excited from normal naked female body and not perfect images.

    WOW! There are a TON of great people on this site, especially my one accountability partner, but this post has given me the most optimism I have felt since joining the NoFap community. My situation is this: I am married and I have not been able to achieve an orgasm with my wife in well over 6 months. I did not watch hard core porn, not even videos, just pics of the "girl next door" type, girls you could see anywhere in the course of a normal day. However, I could easily view 30 plus pics of these girls in one session of masturbation before I would climax so the damage to my neural pathways is there. Furthermore, I tended to use a "Death Grip" technique with no lube which further compounded the problem, especially considering I would masturbate almost every day. I began my NoFap journey about 3-4 weeks ago and suffered my first relapse on Day 7. I regrouped and reset my counter and then, on day 12, I had sex with my wife EXPECTING things to be better but guess what, I could not maintain an erection which is exactly what you said would happen in Phase One. The very next day the irritability and urge overtook me and I gave in, so here I am today on Day One again. I will use your advice to guide me through the rest of this journey and I intend to not have sex for the next 90 days (wife is on board with this) as there are other ways I can please her without having intercourse. Then, if after 90 days I am still not able to achieve an orgasm with her, I will continue to NOT masturbate but to have sex with her regularly until I am able to climax. Your reasoning is sound and you have the time under your belt that lends credibility to what you are sharing with all of us. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

    No PMO. The O stands for Orgasm. Orgasm will affect your reboot process.
