    Hi, i'm 18 and have porn addiction for +- 3 years. I started nofap 41 days ago because of this problem but I'm still stuck in the flatline. Should I try to have a one night stand soon or wait?
     
  2. As I understand it, recovery from PIED takes time and total abstaining from viewing porn and masturbation. Having sex can be a way to help reinforce your brain into accepting what non-addicted sex is like, but don't feel discouraged if you aren't successful. I don't know if 41 days is long enough, only you will know when you've completely recovered.

    Okok, thanks for the support but do you know if it disappears suddenly or does the situation improve a little to a little?
     
  4. I'm not a guy, so I don't have first-hand experience on this but there are many journals here where users chronicle their struggle and eventual success over PIED. From what I've read, it definitely sounds like a gradual process like you said - little by little. I haven't read anything here that suggests it's an overnight process. Since PIED is the result of prolonged habits, the cure may also be prolonged.

    It depends from people to people.

    I can give you an example that happened to me. When I was 16 and met my gf I couldn't have sex with her because of a weak PIED ( I had an erection but it didnt last when I tried to put the condom.) After abstaining for about 3 weeks the PIED had been totally gone.

    So I think that f you abstained totally from P or M for 40 days you might be healed already.

    I'm sure it's different for everyone, but the "rewiring" part is at least as important as the rebooting. Some people go months without PMO and still aren't able to get hard the first time they have sex afterward, because they've been "unwired" from porn but not "rewired" to real women. So it may take a few tries, and if things don't go as planned the first time, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it.

    Any report on recovery?
     
  13. If we use a condom when we have intercourse, will that hinder rebooting?
