Cialis and ED

Thanks to everyone on this site for their great stories. I've been lurking but haven't jumped in until now.

I discovered I had porn related ED late last year and when I found out instantly stopped watching porn. Since then I PMOd only once and have been using cialis to help with ED when with partners. I didn't do a reboot and thought that stopping porn would just be enough but apparently not. Has anyone else been through this type of scenario? Can just stopping porn be enough or do you have to give up all orgasm as well? I'm guessing I know the answer as I still have an ED problem but just wanted to find out others' experience.

Hi, welcome to the rebooting community!
Good thing to see you are starting a journal, it makes this journey a lot easier I think.

I had my first ED experience 7 years ago, and started using ED drugs then. Met a nice girl one year later, and had lots of sex, still while I was on ED drugs the entire time. I also kept PMO-ing regulary, I had this stupid idea that I needed to use my penis to keep it working I guess.

I found out about PIED two years ago. At that point I could not get hard to P without Cialis.
It all made a lot of sense to me, and I quit P right then. I still had a lot of sex with my GF and O-d with her. Had a few P relapses, but stayed clean most of the time.

I realized that I needed another approach to my ED in december 2013, and had a long (78 days) no-o streak then. Did not have a lot of progress, and got back into O with GF/Cialis after that.

Our relationship ended in august, and I have been hardmode rebooting since.
I am in a complete flatline now, no erections at all, very weak morning wood sometimes.
My last O was with a girl 34 days ago, I was able to force an erection by taking Kamagra.
Felt like shit after that. Now I am preparing for a long hardmode period.

Because I have no issues with P or M anymore, the only thing left now is O's.
And rebooting while O-ing has so far done nothing for me.
I think I need to abstain from O for an extended period of time.
Don't know if this is the right thing for you though, just wanted to share my story.
Good luck!

Thanks for your story Cameron. We appear to have a lot in common and I do think I also need to have an extended period hard mode. It's quite telling that even after 2 years with minimal PMO but while maintaining O you are still experiencing ED. I guess there really are no short cuts with this thing.

I guess I had made some progress over the last 10 months and I have been getting really strong morning wood but I still have trouble keeping an erection while masturbating. I did manage an orgasm with a girl I'd been seeing without needing Cialis but it was then her birthday a few days later so I took a few cialis to make sure she enjoyed it. Then another session without a pill and no luck at all. So I'm about 12 hours hard mode, not long but it's a start. I'd be interested in hearing how you progress as we appear to be in the same boat.

Yeah, I am happy to discuss this with anyone, and it does indeed look like we have a lot in common!
Glad to hear that you are getting strong MW, this is definitely progress. I have had a few good ones for the last 5 weeks, but I feel pretty dead right now.
Did you have frequently O's prior to this?
I had frequent sex up to 3 months ago, only a few O-s after that, 2 PMO relapses.
