My case I am 19y/o. Watches porn and masturbate for 4-5 times a week. I have never watched any hardcore porn I have been dating a girl for the past 6 months used to get hard while making out, once even got blue balls but since past month didn't get much hard while making out but was very happy and excited while doing so. One day while making out the same old thing not getting much hard but when we thought of upping the level by touching each other private parts it started getting hard. After that day the quarantine started and I started masturbating to porn daily but this thing was always in my mind that it is becoming too much, I have to stop it and take a break. Then one day I don't know what came in my mind I fapped thrice but to my surprise the second time it was softer than the first I was very scared, feeling like hell like what is happening to me, I googled about it "couldn't get hard to porn" and the pied stuff popped out and scared the hell out of, got very tensed like what have I done but still went for the third time(living in denial ) and this time I was not getting hard to porn. The next day I got my morning wood I felt relieved like okay everything is fine and thought of checking it by watching porn but pied was in my head and was constantly thinking of it like if it doesn't get hard then what and obviously it didn't get hard. I was shocked but then started researching and found out about nofap. My Action I am on a 30 days streak now The first two weeks were hell felt like my penis has shrunk, negative thoughts what if doesn't workout I started meditating I am getting morning wood(past week) but sometimes they are strong sometimes they are not that firm one night while talking to my GF it escalated to sexting(not intentionally) and to my surprise I got a hard boner like I used to I am dreaming too(past week) once had a sex dream too pretty normal sex dream but not with my GF but it didn"t have a face either (but woke up suddenly and saw a hard erection ) when I think of getting a boner it starts to get hard but reaches semi-erection only but sometimes to 80% (with physical stimulation)but there is no sexual image running in mind just a thought to get my dick hard but I keep thinking about a sexual encounter with my GF but have stopped myself to think about it from past 2-3 days I am worrying a lot what is my case? is it mild or severe? will I achieve success? I am still in quarantine so no social interaction Em I on the right path? Em I stressing or worrying to much? Apart from this i am a happy,stressfree guy
Dude you're worrying too much, relax Everyone can heal, even the hardcore addicts with extreme fetishes Given the details, I would say your case is mild, you have a relationship, no hardcore porn, you're having good erections and mornings wood, you're doing fine, better than most, just keep on nofap and give it some more time, I think it won't take long for you to heal, just ditch porn man you don't need it
i know what youre going through, im going through the exact same thing. when me and my gf wanted to escalate it, my erection wasnt as hard and sometimes just wouldnt get up which is why im quiting porn. stay away from PMO. no porn or masturbation and if youre going to orgasm, just make sure its with your partner so the memory is from physical contact and not porn. the fact that i think PIED was the reason why i couldnt get it up is why im quitting porn. just dont go back to it even if its hard. im only just finished day 9 and i know how hard the urges are
My sleep pattern has changed during this quarantine having interrupted periods of sleep, sometimes I wake up with an erection sometimes don't during the night. That's the reason I am confused about morning wood. like today I woke up at 5:30 in the morning with a good erection but then slept again and when I woke up after it there was a mild erection and the worst part is i constantly think of my erections like when should i get it now as to this stimuli or to this. Self doubt is there . To explain it it i'll say like once i was imagining an intimate moment with my girl enjoying that and suddenly a thought pops out what if it doesn't get erect
Man you're clearly overthinking and It's understandable but it won't help you at all You're doing fine and going through the right path so don't worry, when you get to having sex you'll lose yourself in the moment and in your case I don't think you'll have much problem with this, you just need to do nofap to improve your erections Morning wood becomes inconsistent during nofap, as you keep going you're body gets better and it will be consistent again You don't need to worry man, your case isn't extreme, and sexual thoughts aren't a standard to measure your erection quality Take your mind away from this man, the stress you're having about your erection will negatively affect, don't put pressure on your body, it will take care of itself
So all that thing that happened to me that porn incident might be the reason of stressing out? Because thats the explaining i am coming out with as that while that sexting incident i was more into that than thinking how my dick is responding ! What are your views about it?
I think you're doing well. You must be careful that your legitimate anxieties concerning PIED do not somehow mutate into performance anxiety regarding sex in general. As we say here in Britain, keep calm and carry on.
30 day streak at your age is incredible. keep going and stop worrying about things. you seem like you have a pretty good life.
