    Hi guys,
    Id like to hear from anyone who had issues with getting it up before nofap and have managed to recover while doing NoFap.

    iv always had strong long lasting erections that come up real quick no issues apart from the occasional failure when tired or after drinking. Im 34 and my erections now fail pretty much 100% of the time, they have been getting difficult to get for a few years. I have been a heavy porn user, twice a day most days. Im currently on day 4 and want to hear some stories to keep me strong and get back back to my old self again.

    anyway, if you have a success story and your sexual vigour has returned id like to hear how it all went. I read some good success stories here.

    im really lookingforward to feeling good and healthy again and wanna kick porn forever.

    It was a Friday morning, and I woke up feeling on top of the world. Not a single care in the world. I'd come out of my 4th flatline 3 days prior and for the past 3 days running had felt amazing. Excalibur was back with a vengeance and greeted me each and every morning with a full salute. I was back.

    I headed into work and sat at my desk to be greeted by Sarah, the office admin. To this day I do not know what it was but there was something different about Sarah that day. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, and she couldn't seem to keep her eyes off of me. After moments of formalities she asked what I was doing after work. In a blink, I responded with "nothing, how about we go for drinks?" her face lit up and she nodded.

    The rest of the day went swimmingly well. My mind was back to being sharp and clear as it once was. Ideas would flow through my mind like a river at any given moment. More importantly, the mere sight of a beautiful female would cause my junk to awaken from it's slumber and stand at attention. The problem was more so keeping it down. After months of abstaining it felt like a dream.

    For me, the dysfunction disappeared gradually. If you're attentive and know yourself well enough, you will begin to notice slight changes in your thoughts and emotions prior. Physically penis size and girth increased gradually. Balls hung lower and seemed fuller, libido only increased once out of the final flatline. But this was all gradual and led up to.

    When I begun NoFap I had also hit a point of 0% success with erections. That lasted for a good while too. I think it's important to understand that there are different levels of NoFap and depending on which you take, depends on how soon you experience results. For me at the time it was hard mode or nothing.

    Thanks for the reply. Hard mode is impossible for me as my wife will want sex at some point and i will have to bite a tiny bit off a blue pill to jump start it. Im hoping that no mastubation and zero porn will help me. I also run a lot more now and cycle so the cardio vascular benefits will only help too. I get nocturnal erections but nothing on what i was getting even two years ago.

    I had to abstain for a week when j had a vasectomy in oct and i had very strong long lasting nocturnal erections and even my forts wet dream since i was in my teens.
    Anyway sounds like things are going great for you. I hope not to go through to much of a flatline as i love sex and so does my wife.

    thanks for the help

    Maybe go with no porn and masturbation and see how you get on. It could be the case that your reboot doesn't need to be long for recovery. But I would say be prepared, things could take longer than expected at which point you want to be mentally ready to fight the good fight. It's tough when you have a partner that expects sex regularly and you don't want to disappoint. I have my fingers crossed for you!

    I have a separate question for you that is slightly off topic if that's ok?

    What was the vasectomy procedure/recovery like? Are there many or any differences when it comes to intercourse?

    Thanks for the advice, it has caused me a major problem in my life and really knocked my confidence not being able to get hard for my wife, im on day four at the mo and im still pretty numb down there and everything is tight most of the time.

    the vasectomy wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, theres no dignity in it but it is what it is, the docs and nurses see it everyday. For me the worst bit is the needles as im needle phobic and they scare the shit out of me, they then wash you down with some ice cold stuff so everything disappears as you can imagine its not the most relaxing of situations anyway. The procedure is fine, a little painful but id say no worse than having a filling on your tooth, just a bit uncomfortable. Its swollen for a week or so and achy but its fine if you just take it easy and rest for a couple of days.
    You cant ejaculate for a week after, this was when my nocturnal erections came back strong and i even had a wet dream. after not touching it at all for a week, so off porn for a week too. as for sex afterwards i have to take small dose of blue pill as i have done for a few years now but thats nothing to do with the procedure its just me, its pretty much the same, lots more pre cum iv noticed but no worries in the back of your mind about unwanted pregnancies and being able to finish inside her everytime is way better

    They will, but if your situation is like mine it will be damn unpredictable. For example, last week I woke up 3 mornings in a row with rock hard morning wood. Since then, for the last 4-5 days, nada. And I haven't changed a single thing. My eating, drinking, sleep and exercise patterns haven't changed, I haven't gone back to P or MO'd, literally none of the contributing factors is different this week than last except my stress level at work (which ironically is lower this week) -- yet this week, no morning wood and a general lower overall level of horniness. Definitely not feeling as much like a man this week.

    If you like routine and predictability well buckle in cuz it can be a long and frustrating ride. The phrase is "trust the process" and that's what I plan to do even though current state is frustrating as hell.
