A way of speeding up the process?

I was wondering... rebooting is removing all of the porn induced wiring from watching screens. When rebooting one was to fantisise about people they knew in real life or anything they saw in real life... would that help? I mean maybe a bit of perving may help to? Because your looking more at real life women.

Fantasy is still artificial stimulation.  You aren't with a real person so it's not actually rewiring.

"Perving" is another word for fantasizing about total strangers.  The way to rewire is to have intimacy (sex, cuddling, kissing etc) with REAL women that you like.  There is no other way.

Thanks! I think part of my whole not being able to stay erect is the death grip i have been using... i even seem to have this dimple on my penis where my finger would usually press when masutbrating... it's not very noticable. Will stopping that grip help? Like will i recover from it if i dont use the death grip again?

Death grip is the result of needing extra friction to stay erect because you are desensitized. The underlying issue is desensitization and conditioning your sexual response to a screen. As you take a break from stimulation, you will not need to use death grip and masturbation will seem much more effortless. But, in short, stay away from death grip.

Fantasy might potentially reinforce those old porn-related pathways in the brain as you recovering, so it's best that you give it a rest. But by itself, fantasy will not cause you to have ED!!!

Once your reboot is done, you can probably fantasize about real women. Of course, this is tricky when you've been wiring your brain to porn from a young age. But gaining sexual experience with real partners will help with this. Now, if you have a moral objection to fantasizing about others, that's another issue. But I really don't see much of a problem with it.

Thanks alot for the help! When i fantasise about something of which i watched in porn which is kind of extreme i find myself being able to get hard quite east and get a full erection. I have to admit i did relapse ysturday but not looking at a screen just thoughts and i also stopped my diet. I guess it's a bit to ambitious to try and sort multiple things out at once. I need penis surgery of which wil hurt and i wont want to touch my penis, yet alone masturbate for a good couple of months so that will really help me to.
Thing is they need to give me an erection through an injection when i'm asleep... will this porn induced ED interfere?

I honestly believe the best way to speed up the process is by actively pursuing recovery. Don't sit around and wait for it. Exercise, meditate, read more, go out more with friends... live the life you couldn't when you were a porn addict!
