1 week in and have some questions

Hi, I am 1 week in to no porn/masturbating/fantasy and was wondering if I should stimulate myself at all physically? In the FAQs it says about testing yourself to see if you can get hard just by touching, so should i be trying to get hard by touching myself without thinking about any porn or fantasy?

second question: when thinking about or viewing porn I will get hard but it never seems like it is ever as hard as possible even when masturbating, is this common/a sign of PIED?

Thanks

No.  At least not for a long time.  Give 90 day hard mode first.

Yes.

What Jimmy said.

You should also start a thread in which ever age segment you fit into and start posting.  You will find it keeps you motivated and gives a reasonably good way to start exploring what drove you here.

At just one week in its best not to expect any big changes yet. Give it another few weeks.
Theres nothing wrong with having a good hearty toss every now and then. Getting off to your own pleasure instead of a filthy slut on a screen is a lot healthier. Its more pleasurable too. Like back in the good old days of tossing just to your imagination. Just make sure its not overly excessive or in a public place.

No. Just do a long reboot. No sexual thought or activity. After flatline, you'll start to get horny again. I'd wait until then to do any 'testing.' Just get up to speed on the whole process: http://yourbrainonporn.com/porn-induced-ed-start-here

Good luck.

Whats the difference between getting horny and wanting/thinking about porn? Because ive had no desires for the last week until today when I've started getting randomly hard again thinking about any sexual thing. Before I would think of porn and I didn't get hard.
