30 years old...and just discovered I have PIED

As far as I remember I started masturbating at age of 13 on magazines then 1-2 years later, I started with porn (I've been fapping an average of 2-3 times a day for the last 15-16 years)

Later on, I've started consuming Porntube sites and Chatroulette, spending hours and hours on it obsessively. I had a few sexual encounters. Until 25, it worked fine. Then, it gradually went bad until 27. I gained weight and had some health issues. So started working out, quit drinking, more healthy habits but kept PMO.

Erections get weaker and couldn't maintain an erection with a girl I liked. I thought that this would be caused by a hidden disease. I did tests and went to an urologist who told me that I was fine. All was in my head. So kept PMO thinking that it wasn't the origin of the issue. I focused on loosing weight (I lost around 17 Kg).

Recently I met an incredible girl with whom I couldn't maintain an erection also. She dumped me a month later because of my lack of confidence. I didn't know how to manage my dysfunction and communicate it with her. I was kind of traumatized cause I really liked that girl and that's how I found out NoFap, RebootNation, YBOP, etc. and started realizing everything.

I was able to get hard only by watching porn. With girls, I could reach an erection but it will fade away 30 seconds later. I basically didn't have a natural boner for 3-4 years.  :-\

I went hard mode since 2 weeks ago. It's actually very easy as I think I've been desensitized.

At Day 5-7: I had the so called superpowers. Confidence and energy went up. No fog, more sociable, more focused, sleeping awesome, vivid Dreams, sexual dreams, I almost had wet dreams, etc.

Week 2: Ups & Downs. No superpowers but felt in better shape but some insomnia, some headaches, not so sociable, dreams not vivid anymore, but still sexual dreams. I feel that I get hard but as soon as I wake up it goes away 30-60 seconds after.

Day 16: I feel I can handle the hard mode. I'm at the flatline phase. I'm determined to continue till 90 days and see the results.

I'm so worried about this...Is my situation recoverable? Do you identify yourself in this story? Any thoughts?

I appreciate your support,

Week 3: I feel nothing...No sex dreams anymore...Not getting hard at night...

I can handle not masturbating and not looking at Porn... It's not a big deal! But wondering if this will take me somewhere?!

I want to believe that it will!

Flatline is absolutely normal and well documented. Unfortunately you have to go through it to come out the other side. Read success accounts to see how common it is. Hang in there, you're doing a great job!!

Thanks DesperateToHeal! Just finished one month with no PMO!

Still no sensations!

Yesterday, I was with a girl. No sex but we've been kissing and touching each other for a long period but no reaction from my P.

I'm considering buying Cialis as I'm gonna see this girl again! I've never taken DE drugs! Would you guys recommend using them in order to heal?

Cheers,

I personally just plan on spending the 90-120 days celibate. If your girl is really hot though I'd say it might be worth it. Do whatever feels right haha, just think it over.

Day 32:
I feel like caring less about the issue. I'm being confident with women. Loosing the fear of approaching them or seeing them as sexual objects thus becoming more charming and it comes more naturally.

I've been more nice with people in general so received more appreciation and felt more accepted. Consequently, I'm overthinking less. I'm able to discern the things that are beneficial to my body and mind and those that are bad. I'm starting with new hobbies as well.

However, as opportunities for sex may arise these days, I want to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to maintain an erection. Cialis which never tried before might help boosting my confidence.

Woke up this morning feeling my P more in shape. Like the beginning of a morning wood. Still flaccid but bigger in size. I compare my P like being in coma state and showing sudden signs of recovery.

I'm kinda optimistic about the future. A little voice is telling me that I'm on the right path.

Day 38 I slept after 2 dates with a girl I met online a few days ago. I was 70% hard which wasn't enough to make an intercourse. Even blowjob didn't help much. I gave the usual excuse that I was too drunk. I stopped seeing her after that.

These days, I'm having beginnings of morning woods that are lasting 1-2 minutes from the moment I wake up.

Since I'm rebooting, I've been constantly dating and that raised my confidence. It's like my mind is accepting there's no porn around anymore and has to find other ways for sexual release.

To be continued

Day 41: This is really working guys!

I feel again the sensations I thought I had lost. My dick and balls are gaining volume. I'm having more consistent morning woods. This is unbelievable. I know there's still work to do but these results are incredibly promising.

Life has a meaning again!

Keep up the good work man. I am at the beginning of the journey but reading this is inspiring me. Today is my day one.

Thanks so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. Just imagine how good you will feel after day 50 and beyond!

Glad to hear it Andy! Keep yourself busy at all times for the first week! If you make a decision, stick to it!

Hi

cialis and so may not work, because the problem is porn

The good news is that after the flat line erections start to come.

You've been on P for a long time.

I think that if you give your brain a rest from P, you will evetually feel much better.

90 days are the basic.

Patience towards results helps.

Well done, you're doing very well.

Cheers

Day 45: Thanks for your encouragements man! I'm actually half the way. Had a wet dream last Sunday. I don't know if that's a good sign or not? I think it was a natural way for the body to release.

I don't miss porn at all. Too much things going on in my life that keep me busy and distracted.

I meant using Cialis just for temporary sex opportunities where I want to make a good first impression. I don't want to rely on it of course.

Cheers

Wow 45 days! That is amazing man. Please keep up the good work. We can beat our addiction.

Such good news and so affirming to hear that my own journey will eventually be worth it!

Thanks for sharing this mate!

Thanks Andy for your encouragements. It might take a while but nothing is easy in this life if we want to reach our goals.

Day 51
I'm almost at 2/3 of the 90 days challenge. No notable improvements lately apart of the fact that I have morning woods everyday. I pee with a hard-on.

Day 63

I'm writing these lines while waking up in my bed and having a morning wood...it's been there for 5-10 minutes... Unbelievable! I feel I'm almost cured!

Had sex 3-4 days ago...I used Cialis for the 1st time and that was great being able to put a condom and make an intercourse without losing the erection. I will have a pill as backup but will avoid using it!

The 90 days theory seems to be true! Anyways, I don't think about it as I lost all interest in porn. Since I started this challenge, I'm constantly dating women and fulfilling my desires. That's what is really helping me to recover.

I keep you updated guys!

Hello Viomas,

Thanks for sharing your story and journey.

I can congratulate you on your progress. 63 days without PMO is a great achievement.

While giving yourself a milestone of 90 days to achieve is a good a strategy to but don't stop there.

PMO highjacks the inbuilt reward circuit and makes a slave of this habit.

I hope you have spent time in understanding how PMO works on YBOP site.

You have to say no to PMO for life and for that you need to have a long term strategy

Please go through an excellent post about it below.

Also, exercise and meditation helps a lot so try to include them in your routine.

I wish you and all the friends here all the best in their journey to have a better life.

Smiles,

Phoenix.

Thank you Phoenix for your encouragements. Indeed, my idea is to stop PMO forever.

Day 106:

Today I reached 106 Days without PMO and I'm so proud of myself. What seemed something impossible to make, became a reality.

I'm having morning woods every single day. My penis is starting to get back those sensations once lost. The other day, by simply touching myself without looking to porn, I had an erection. This didn't happen to me in years!

I had also an erection by fantasizing about other women.

The big change is that I have a girlfriend since a few weeks. Things go smoothly. To be honest, I'm using Viagra and Cialis to keep my penis up. Those drugs really work but I don't wanna depend on them. I tried to tell my girlfriend the first day we had sex... didn't tell her about the addiction to porn and I think she didn't really understand it.

I'm thinking of trying having sex without taking them as I'm getting more intimate with her.

I'm looking at my life now and I'm amazed about the changes this made to myself, the way I look to myself and to the world. I became so much confident towards people and specially women. I'm satisfied with how things are going.

Cheers guys!

Yes, the article I was looking for. Your article gives me another approach on the subject. I hope to read more articles from you.

Day 174:

What's masturbation? I erased this term from my brain. No temptations to masturbate anymore.

I feel so much better since I took the decision to stop it. Having this self control made me more confident and allowed me to focus on passions and things that really matter to me. I'm always busy. I started learning a new language. I do sports more often. I'm in a relationship with my girlfriend for 3 months now. (Before it didn't last more than 1 month), I have much more energy during the day, etc.

Sexually talking, I can't say things improved that much. I rely on pills to have good erections. If no pills, I get horny and erected but I loose the erection afterwards due to a condom that can't fit in properly or thinking about a position that suits us both of my girlfriend and me, etc. That's a bit annoying. Hope it's just a matter of time.

Anyways, no matter what will happen, I feel my life got much much better.

I'll keep you updated. Cheers!
