Still suffering ED after long reboots

Discussion in 'Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions' started by Gavalar09, Mar 21, 2020.

  1. That is true, but it does not mean that anxiety did not contribute to the low libido. When we are watching p and masturbating, we don't have to worry about our sexual performance, we don't have to worry about whether the little soldier is hard enough to satisfy a girl. Without those factors causing anxiety, erection will be relatively easier to obtain.

    Oh it's definitely PIED, but it's when it will be cured. I've been on so many long streaks now that you'd think it would be but it's showing no signs of getting any better.

    But I also struggle to maintain an erections, but that's mainly down to edging and browsing at the same time I reckon.
     
  4. You had gotten better before man so don't worry you can get better again for sure.

    Well in that case then I guess you might need a bit more than a year to recover. So you were able to have sex after a year of no PMO, but PIED again after four relapses. That probably means the neural pathway that makes you feel aroused by porn is really hard to kill. Your natural neural pathway got the upper hand after a year of no PMO but a few relapses then the devil comes back strong dominating your newly developed, fragile, natural neural pathway. So in my opinion you'll need more than a year to reinforce your natural neural pathway. A few relapses can really set you back a lot. But it deos not mean it is over for you. You are still recoverable. You just have to make the sacrafice. And don't ever PMO again.

  6. I feel you bro. But don't think of it as another year of no PMO man. Your starting point should really be no PMO ever again in your life. Otherwise problems and relapses will keep coming back. Thinking that it's another year of no PMO means that you are not fully committed to it. And if you are not fully committed, you might not be able to get out of this vicious circle ever. I'm sure that's not what you really want.

    In terms of your past streaks, they are not for nothing man. They are valuable lessons that can help you in your future endeavour. Take note of what triggered the relapses and try to avoid it. Try to remember the bad feelings you had after the relapses. And keep reminding yourself of how relapses ruined your progress.

    And I'm sorry about your breakup but I'm sure if you keep on track of no PMO, you'll be able find your better half. Try to stay positive my man!

    How can tell you have ED if you didn't have sex?

    As i struggle to get hard even whilst masturbating.
    It's can only get 60% hard.
    I did just fail, got fully hard to porn.
    This is so hard, especially during lockdown...

    If you're masturbating, then you're not on Nofap.

    First time i had sex after starting nofap i had my doubts too. I wasn't sure i would be able to have sex, to have a good erection and so on.

    I found the courage to engage a sexual encounter and i discovered everything worked perfectly!

    what about me i get inconsistent erections by that i meant sometimes i get strong boners to porn sometimes not. also sometimes i get hard to me gf sometimes not
    standing erections are particularly weak and i many times lose the erection while standing
    during sex calling if my gf excites me enough i keep boner very well even for extended period however with her im person sometimes i couldn't

    Definitely PIED.
    It's good you can still get hard with your girl.
    How long have you abstained for?
    Are you currently on a streak?

    Took me 4 months until I could have sex, maybe less.
    I've been able to have sex but a few times I have failed which is horrible when it happens.
    At times I can't get it up on my own and sometimes even with porn I struggle.
    I've recovered before but PIED always comes back.
