Hey guys, I have PIED (porn induced erectile dysfunction) and I'm reaching out to anyone else experiencing these symptoms to help me learn more about it from you guys. Has anyone overcome it? Does anyone know how long it'll take before I start having normal (hard) sexual encounters again... It really freaks me out knowing that I can't get it up... I've understand the basic science behind it and I'm here more for help on how to treat it and tips of the like. Thanks guys!
Hey man, I have it too. Basically all men recover from it months after they quit porn, but there are so many variables that determine how much time will it take for one man. I recommend you start by watching this video: [video=youtube_share;EHHyt6z0osA]http://youtu.be/EHHyt6z0osA[/video]
I have (I had ?) it too, it's all in the first post of my journal here : http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?19611-ADC-s-Journal I couldn't get it up, even while masturbating to porn it was only semi-hard. No morning woods. Nothing. Three months later I have morning woods almost every days now (sometimes I don't though, don't really know why, I'm probably still in the rebooting phase of course). When I touch myself to wash or pee I can get hard in two seconds I feel it. I didn't have sex with my girlfriend though so I can't talk about having sex. The only time I had the opportunity was three years ago, I was completely addicted and I couldn't get it hard. I have the feeling that now I could. Once I have sex with my girlfriend I can come here and tell you.
It depends on many different factors such as age at which you started fapping to porn massively, times per day or week you watched porn, contact you may had with real girls, if you have a girl who knows your problem and is understanding and willing to help, your socialization then and from now on... I thought my case was not *that* bad, but I've been 90+ days No-PMO in my longest streak and haven't got my full erection back. Felt some improvements though, that tell me I'm on the right path.
I'm in the same boat as well. Have been on nofap (but also anti-depressants) for about 20 days. Only achieved about two erections in that time and currently I am of the stance that I need to try and pull through for a fair while longer, as the accounts from people (as above) seem to suggest that it will return. Hopefully with a vengeance! So stay positive and hopeful for now Nofapsydney. If you want to chat feel free to pm.
to much porn I used porn since i was 16 and about a hour a day i and could could have erections but dribled almost soon as i was erected, and I have never been in a real relationship because all my energy went to porn. i have quit porn about a year ago but still 'm' a lot i have quit doing it for say 23 days in a row was my best, I have but after i quit for a while i feel more connected to women, emotionaly and physicaly.
