I've been in recovery since February 2014. I have only notice some changes, increase sensitivity, semi erections and not lifeless. I must admit I was into some serious crap when I was watching porn. is rewiring a major factor when getting your erections back, I'm assuming simply stopping doesn't just bring it back, I'm really not sure. Although I still haven't interact with women often because of my situation, I've done a lot to sort my life around. I have started to hike, swim, even mediation at times and I also eat healthy. I already had blood tests and I was told I'm fine with testosterone. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Could I have developed real erectile dysfunction?

It has been my own experience - and I read it in many accounts as well - that once you are sitting in your P.I.ED hole, rewiring might be very important to get out of it for good. In fact it is very rare to see someone overcome severe P.I.ED and sort of just snap out of it just by abstaining from porn and doing lifestyle changes. Don't get me wrong, these are very important, but it seems the brain needs to relearn to properly react to a real partner.
There are also some cases, where guys think they haven't recovered yet (because no "teenage raging libido", morning wood, random erections or they can't properly MO without porn) - yet once they are with a girl/partner, they find they are actually fully functional again. They just waited too long to be with a partner, waiting for these other signs (which are of minor importance) to show up first.

You have taken the best first step - eliminating P & M from your life.
It will take time, and it can be frustrating to say the least.
The exercise, eating healthy - all good things to be sure. Over time you will see improvements.
Hang in there - you are young, and you will find there is a much much better world out there.

It doesn't matter what type you watched. Are you still actively fantasizing about it in your head? That can keep the reward pathways open. So stop doing that as well.
Like Mart71 said there will definitely need to be some rewiring with real women in order to test your reactivity to them. Thinking and stroking is not a good indicator and neither is raging libido and morning wood. Get out there and meet some women. Even as friends can help tremendously!
No I don't fantasize anymore, more or less gone and I'm starting to get things under control in that area. Thank you for all the support and help. I intend to go back to college this September and I'm joining a walking club to help. I guess I'm still scared of interacting with women in case of what they think, but maybe I should just try anyway and stop being afraid.

Sure you can recover from it.
But it's gonna start by changing your attitude about the kind of porn you were seeing.
YOu have to denounce it mentally and focus on what you want in your life and how
rebooting will put you on that track.
It's more mental than physical and your attitude is the engine that drives it.
