    I am going to try to make this short.

    I am now 22, and have had erection problems since I first started having sex as a teenager. I was always an avid porn watcher. I would watch it every day in highschool, and it was the same to start college.

    The last 3 years I have battled with it, and often went 2-3 weeks without looking at porn, but I would always relapse. I probably jerked off once per week in the past year to porn (almost never jerked off without it).

    I have now made it a month, which has never happened. But now I am not so sure if porn is even the problem. Maybe I just have a penis that doesn't work. Sometimes I can get it up in the bedroom, other times not. I really don't understand it. I was horny as hell for about a week of this abstain period, but now I don't feel horny at all. Morning wood is about it. All I know is I have failed to screw some extremely beautiful women because of my uncooperative lil man. It makes me angry just thinking about it. I am going to think back 10 years from now and swear under my breath because a couple of these women were truly beautiful. Having destroyed them in the bed might have changed the relationships, who knows? F***.

    Any honest insight or experiences on this would be appreciated.

    It can take months to heal this, although it usually doesn't. But check out some of the vids in the righthand margin at www.yourbrainonporn.com to hear other's stories.

    Hey man,

    Not sure if this is going to be as helpful as I'm hoping for, but here goes anyhow. I'm 26 now, and I've been having more or less the same problems that you've been having since around the same time in my life (mid-late teens). Weirdly inconsistent erections have been a major issue, especially lately. In fact, the reason I joined up was for the same reason: having sex has been difficult, and I have missed some truly incredible chances lately in the most fucking embarrassing way possible.
    I'm just starting out on a reboot, and I can't say yet for certain whether it'll help me, and I'm not the guy to ask about the experience at the end. What I CAN say, though, is that regardless, I'm honestly excited to try and take control back of my life and of my own sexuality. Worst case scenario? More free time for me. Give it ninety days. Hell, give it nine hundred - what are you honestly missing out on? I know as well as anyone the temporary feeling of relief it brings on, and that's great. But it's like giving up soda: even if you enjoy soda now and again, there are no downsides to cutting it out.
    Stick with it, man. Give it an honest shot. If at the end of ninety days, or two hundred days, or whatever amount of days you're comfortable with, you decide it's not for you? Fine, you tried. But for now, stick with it. Because you're in control.

    Most of the teenagers whose dicks don't work have the presence of porn in their lives.
    Aim at making a good busy fun lifestyle change and look towards other joyful rewarding pursuits and forget about erections and what not atleast for a few months, please.
    Just relax. You ll be fine. Trust me.

    Bringing this back from the grave 15 months later because I had a lot of success with NoFap. I learned to control my urges and in 2016 I went 1-2 months without jerking off often. I got with a few good looking women and got some head from quite a few girls. The sex was extremely enjoyable.

    However, I moved to a new state and started looking at porn again past couple months. This is my pledge to restart nofap.

    The next woman that gets it is gonna get pounded and gonna have a nice protein drink. Stay away from porn. Stay away from nudes & booty pics. Stop being the sucker that goes home and jerks it and is a total loser.
