I'm not horny, but I can go watch porn and masturbate

Of course you can with porn and masturbating but you want it all to work without that right? Give it time, don't jerk it and don't watch porn, it will come back.

 

Yeah, it takes time. A 30 day streak sounds like a long time, doesn’t it? But you need time to give your dick a break and also to reclaim control of your urges and mind.

 

Dude, I feel you. I do the same stuff all the time. I can not even go shower withour looking at porn and fap. The most of the time I feel like I abuse my dick, because I am not even horny. Often even when I look porn. So I spend hours to find some crazy. Back in the days I was watching 5-7 times a day and normal porn dont made me horny anymore. Once even really nice girl didnt it..twice... I was ended up by looking on sone reeeeeally strange stuff.

 

Hey man, hope you are doing better by now. I've read a few books about the psychology of addiction and I'd like to share something regarding your post, hope it helps.

The thing is, we all have stress and suffering in our lives, that's part of being human. Every person on this planet developed a few 'control strategies' to counter this stress in his/her lifetime, that's a common psychological phenomenon among humans. Some people go for a walk, some go hang out with friends, some go to the gym and so on. But here is the thing, some people also develop less healthy ways to deal with stress. For example: drinking alcohol, using drugs or watching porn. It makes you feel good and makes you forget your pain and suffering while you are using it but in the aftermath you'll feel even worse.
A lot of people on this forum are fighting with this problem I saw. To me it looks like you have that too. You are stressed and as a result of that you get the urge to masturbate. Also the fact that your dick is partially erect while watching porn suggest that you could be in a flatline. That is good, it shows that your brain is recovering from porn. So don't doubt NoFap!! keep going and do some research on what a flatline does to you so you know what to expect.

What I can tell for certain is that doing PMO is NOT the way to get your dick to work again. Keep your streak going and welcome the withdrawal symptoms, as I said it is a sign you are making progress.

Stay strong.

 

And THIS is likely at least part of your troubles.

What you describe sounds like "edging". Edging is really unhealthy for a LOT of reasons. I've posted a bunch of times about edging on various forums on this (noFAP) site, but here it goes again !

Short version: DO NOT EDGE ! EVER !

Edging is really bad. Edging trains your body and mind to expect and to need prolonged, often very intense, stimulation in order to reach O. That level of mental and physical stimulation doesn't happen with PIV relations. Guess what: when you attempt PIV, your body and mind don't receive the kind of stimulation it needs to O, instead your body responds with PIED and DE. Not good.

Edging does NOTHING good, so stop. Easier said than done, but it is certainly NOT impossible and very much worth every bit of effort required to stop this damaging activity.

DO NOT EDGE. EVER !

One day at a time is how we all succeed.

 

well said man!

Don't worry about this. In the beginning of a reboot your libido and dick might not work anymore, but it WILL return. As I said search for 'flatline' regarding nofap, it will explain a lot of questions that you have.

That depends per person. Some see improvements after 30 days, some after 90, some after a year. Just as bfdet said: look at https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/. Hope that helps.
