    Hi Guys,

    I've been struggling with weak erections, loss of spontaneous erections, loss of morning wood etc for quite some time. I discovered nofap and realised that I had been relying on porn for a very long time and this worried me greatly.

    Being 25 I decided that enough is enough and that I would take a two-pronged approach, I'd begin nofap whilst at the same time organise the professional help that I'd been afraid to approach.

    I began nofap and was doing well up to a point of ~21 days on my first real attempt. It was at this point that I was watching a Netflix film which had a rather strong sex scene... I experienced what was likely one of the hardest erections of my life - to the point that it almost hurt! Something that I had not felt in a very long time. No work on my part, fully natural libido / erection.

    #RockHARD

    Needless to say I relapsed. The orgasm was mindblowing and the ejaculate flew past my head which was crazy! xD While disappointed with myself it did give me a massive sense of accomplishment and validation that nofap can indeed work. However, since then I finally saw a specialist privately as I was tired of being on a waiting list.

    From discussion with the specialist I am no longer so sure (I'll try to be fully descriptive / honest here as I hope my experience will be of use to others). He took some history, I told him that I've had no success with viag-ra, cial-is, or muse. He measured my penis and said that it is above average, and I told him that sometimes there can be a slight lean on it to the left. He asked if I've noticed stronger erections in certain positions and I told him yes; certain positions are much more tenable than others.

    From the facts that I've had no success with pills, I'm above average by 2cm, slight lean, harder only in certain positions (when I experienced my nofap erection I was lying in a position that typically helps), my young age etc, difficulty for a relatively long time...

    He believes that I likely have 'venous leakage'. If so, the issue is with restricting blood outflow from my penis enough for it to remain hard when I am aroused (I'm assuming the lack of libido I face these days goes part in parcel with the ED?).

    I've booked a test to confirm whether or not venous leakage is present which will be the tell-all. I'm currently waiting for the letter that gives me a test date. The specialist informed me that if confirmed venous leakage, surgery is an option though it's only successful in approximately one third of cases. He doesn't have much faith in the other options (trying pills again, MUSE etc) though has suggested I experiment with cock rings and even rubber bands.

    The so-called nuclear option is the implant which he showed me and tbh is downright terrifying.

    TL;DR

    ED, possibly PIED, possibly venous leakage. Have booked test to confirm whether or not venous leakage is present and will then consider surgery if appropriate. I'm back on day one for nofap but am now promising myself a minimum of three months to see how it goes whilst the testing etc goes on in the background.

    I can't face losing any more relationships with girls I care about because it's killing me. Enough is enough, I'm going to see this through to the end! I'm not stopping until I have a resolution as I need my life back.

    Would appreciate if anyone has their two cents to give that may help. Also, I hope the above helps others.

    Cheers,

    Con

    Do you suffer from any mental withdrawal symptoms?

    ¿Qué otros síntomas presenta? ¿El porno te hace difícil todavía? ¿Podrías cambiar de posición en el sexo real? ¿Cuánto tiempo has estado en concreto con esto? comenzaste a notar erecciones más débiles? Ponte en contacto conmigo.
     
  4. My money is on PIED. Not venous leakage. Lots of guys get worried about that, but it's not common.

    Your response after your 21 day streak is pretty telling.

    What kind of trauma causes venous leak? Is it like a blunt trauma from like a car crash or a sports injury or can it be caused by something simple such as prone masturbation on a mattress? I got Ed after the latter almost overnight about through 2-3 days. Prior to that, I was masturbating and edging to porn very frequently and after prone masturbating, my dick shrunk. I also am suffering from some of the mental Porn withdrawal symptoms.

    It feels like my reward symptom has been desensitized, and I feel emotionally numb. What the hell happened to me? I hope it’s Porn and not a venous leak. I had a semi erection pop up in the past, but then it went away when the visual stimulation (the person) went away.

    I checked out two doctors and they found nothing wrong. It almost seems like that this is a dopamine issue. Libido is gone, penis and testicles feel weaker, and I can’t get aroused.

    Yep.
    I went through all the theories. Last year I practically did not masturbate or look at porn all year, I had more social life due to some circumstances, and there were no changes.
    This year I started not masturbate "officially" and nothing either .. I had a couple of "relapses" yes, to check my erections, but I practically let my penis rest 80% 90% of the time

    Quiero informarles que he progresado de forma muy lenta pero que al día de hoy pienso compartir la idea de que comienzo a ver los resultados, mi depresión ha pasado fue terrible es horrible sentirse de esta forma, realmente no le deseo a nadie sentirse como una mierda y aparte no tener ganas de hacer nada en absoluto, si así es literal nada, es una perra la depresión con síntomas psicológicos y físicos, después de pasar por este tomento pase por dolores de cabeza diarios eran intensos tanto si que me acostumbre a estos el día de hoy ya no tengo nada de esto, dolores de espalda baja no se a que se deba pero tengo entendido que se debe a la depresión, mis erecciones matutinas aun no aparecen pero e visto algunos signos que me dicen que pronto estarán allí siempre como antes, hoy me pude masturbar siii, así es y esto me hace feliz ya que llego el punto que ni la pornografía ni mi imaginación inclusive mi novia me ponían así, me traume pensé que tenia baja testosterona, una fuga venosa, que me había roto el pene mil de cosas muy intensas y horribles que verdaderamente no se las deseo a nadie, fui al medico y se me detecto un varicocele el cual ya se corrigió mediante cirugía pensé que esto era pero resulta que no pues no interfiere de esta manera, aunque es importante atenderla ya que puede dar lugar a la in fertilidad, comencé a correr a hacer ejercicio todo sin ganas pero muy en mi interior luchaba para salir adelante, mi novia fue muy cariñosa y muy comprensiva, al contarle todo ella se porto muy madura y amorosa, esto es fundamental para aquellos que estén en una relación, es estar bajo presión en estas condiciones y te hace bajar tu autoestima y ser muy celoso pero son tus conflictos internos los que causan esto es importante en este proceso conocerse a si mismo, me considero un caso SEVERO DE DE PIDE pero la recuperación va en camino y comienzo asentir la brisa por la abertura al final del túnel y poco a poco veo un poquito mas de luz, es increíble como la pornografía puede llegar a afectar uno nunca se lo imagina y se que en algunos años mas esto estará dentro de la información escolar y medica de prevención, Hoy en día quiero ser mejor y seguir mejorando ademas de cuidar mi salud lo mas que se pueda ya que es un poco complejo en la actualidad pero no imposible, hice algunas cosas que me ayudaron a llegar hasta aquí y hoy en día me siento listo para AYUDAR A ESTA COMUNIDAD DE NoFap pues sinceramente muy pocos me ayudaron a mi, dejen comentarios preguntas estaré por aquí por un tiempo quiero devolver el favor y dejar una historia para los casos similares y que sepan como salir de esto, tarde meses en entender y en dejar de estar triste hoy soy otro alguien mejor, aun no hay libido al menos no como yo recuerdo que se sentía y tampoco mucha erección matutina pero al masturbarme hoy me di cuenta de como mi pene se sentía como roca como antes y se que falta mas pero ha sido suficiente para querer publicarlo, ademas de cada vez mas tener un sexo con mi chica mas placentero y tener mi polla mas dura, al principio no fue asi pero se que vamos por buen camino, ANIMO!! si SE PUEDE!!! ESTOY DISPUESTO AYUDAR PREGUNTEN SI LO DESEAN, La pornografía es la droga antinatural del auto conocimiento profundo. if you're want to know please translate me :)
