Recovery time at mid 40s

People , I have a question. I am mid 40s and in the last year suffered PIED due to extensive edging sessions maybe 2 oe 3 times a week. I would say I started edging about 7 years ago. Prior to that masterbation was what I would class as normal ( 10 - 20 minute thing to standard sexy images. (Girly mag type). Ive never gone too perverse and always just used images of beautiful chicks - nothing weird or kinky really. Anyway , I am 2 weeks into my reboot. Im pretty healthy and not depressed or anything, but I am curious to know from some of you - how long will this reboot take ? WOuld you say ? The full 90 days ? Or sooner ? Hope someone can give me insight. Many thanks in advance ......I am in a serious relationship by the way. My partner is working away right now, so I have a good chance to reboot. .... 2 weeks and going strong. I should add, I am going hard mode .... zero porn ...

I'll let the more experienced rebooters weigh in with more apt advice. In meantime, here's mine.

As far as I can tell, I would reconsider the question of: how long?  There is no magic mileage, whereupon reaching some nice round milestone such as 100 days would be enough to give you your moment of glory AND also put you on a path of ED recovery in one fell swoop.  It doesn't matter whether you succeed in 'recovering' from your symptoms in as little as 40 days (or as much as 400)... it won't mean a thing if you were to end up going back to the old destructive behaviors in 2 years' time.

Personally, for me, a successful recovery would mean that I have re-framed my problem from: "When will I be functional again" to "Have I decided I no longer wish to engage in this destructive practice for the rest of my life"... and finally to: "What are the things that make me feel thrilled and where can I start re-orienting my life towards that?"  This forum can sometimes feel like the focus should be on PMO-free days.  That's a narrow way of looking at the problem and that approach has never worked for me.  By working from the point of view of finding ways to improve my own life, the PMO-free life trickles down as a natural consequence of living a better life.

Thanks a lot for replying. I was beginning to wonder why no one had replied, as I see the other posts recieve doaens if not hundreds of resposes. Amybe your reply has highlighted why this happened. I perhaps worded my post as a complete novice would - which - I am to this.
To reply more comprehensively, let me say the following. Yes I have decided to ditch the PMO lifestyle (if I can call it that). Im a mature man and cant realisitically be proud of myself if every so often I whack off over some erotic pics / vids. Its not the me , I invisage anymore. So yes - I am on the right path in terms of self development and motivation to persue my creative goals.
Most who are on here, will know how devestating it can feel to suffer ED. I personally have not had a boner for about 3 weeks. Its deeply concerning. I used to wake at least with wood a few times a week, but even that has stopped. My innitial question was written from the view point of a deeply worried man, wondering when his manhood may return to a proud state.
Again - thank you for your response - I really hope some others can weigh in here. I feel very worried that even going PMO free may not even yield results.

The goals and reasons for ditching the PMO as you mentioned are very laudable.  And of course the ED issue is probably the top reason men flock here.  I see it as a 'scare' event.  But if I may provide an ounce of encouragement: a friend of mine had 'followed' some tuber on the devastation of porn use.  At around that time, he had started dating some girl and had had difficulties in shall we say 'getting started'.  This prompted fear and he went on to ditch the PMO.  In a matter of 2-3 weeks, he had 'recovered' the basic minimum to be able to succeed in the sheets.

Bottom line: weaning off the PMO for a few weeks will already work wonders on energy levels, confidence, nervous system response, etc... so maintain course if in your case you need more time.  Stress and anxiety slow all forms of recovery down, so while counter-intuitive ditch the stress and start believing in the return to full health.  And again, my opinion and not the law of the land: I would forget about the fictitious 90-day rule as it gets in the way of living life!

Thanks again. Your words are much appreciated. You are a big help. Its up to me now I guess. Leave that shit alone for good - that would be the goal. Im making progress. Onwards and upwards as they say. Thanks man

Hey Stone,
Good going on the streak. Yeh, really is no magic number - we're all different, the part porn has played in our lives is different, and where we are in our relationships are different. The number people talk about is 90 because if we've been using porn a lot, it's really hard to give up; to get to 90 days, we learn a lot about ourselves, issues we use porn to deal with rise to the surface, the 'need' to use it fades and the withdrawals and issues surrounding it should fade too. Go completely porn-free for 90days, the problems you mention should be a thing of the past, or you'll at least be well on your way to getting where you want to go.
