Do you think that I can recover? Too severe PIED?

Hi,

I'm 32, started M at 14, started P at 17. I had a great sex life (had multiple partners over the years without any ED issue) until 29yo.
One night I brought a girl home and realized that I couldn't get it up. I saw doctors who made me do some tests (everything came back normal) and told me that PMOing was healthy, so I kept on doing it until today. But in the past 3 years, things got worse and worse.
Now I'm not even aroused by P anymore. My libido is dead

-I'm not aroused by real girls of course
-I can get a 90% erection with P but I don't feel horny at all and lose the erection quickly
-I can get a 80% erection without P but lose the erection even quicker
-I cannot have an erection while standing up
-I need manual stimulation to have an erection
-I have 50% nocturnal wood
-No morning wood
-Sometimes I have spontaneous erection when I lie down
-No urges to M or to P but I kept on doing it until now[/list]

I know it sounds like a typical PIED story but what worries me a lot is 2 things:
-I've been using porn for 16 years (even thought my issues started only 3 years ago), which is a VERY long time.
-I kept on PMOing without a libido, just out of habit for 3 years, damaging my brain even more.[/list]

Do you think a Hard Mode Reboot can make me recover? Or am I a lost cause with a too severe PIED?

Thanks for your help

It?s a bit severe pied u don?t have choice but hard mode
Forget ur sex life for quite a awhile u have to sacrifice ur addiction and bad habit to get ur natural libido back
Always remember

I agree with Montee.

You need to stop using porn! You're 32. It might take a year to recover, maybe even longer to recover completely. That said, do you want to hit 40 with PIED?

This best time to quit is NOW! It's difficult, but at the end of the process you can look forward to a rewarding sex life.

Good luck! It's not easy but you CAN do it!

Yeah buddy, youre fucked. You can and will recover if you rewire your brain NOW. Youre in pretty deep so dont expect it to happen overnight, but if you wtick to it it will happen for sure. Dont let it get any worse!

No doubt,

There are a lot more severe cases out there, that were able to recover. You have two good signs on your side. You are still able to get some sort of erection and secondly you have some experiences with women. That will most likely help. It can still take a long time though. But you are not a hopeless case or anything like that.

Yeha buddy, you can recover for sure. I did! and i was waaaaaaaaay further gone than you...
Just stick wih the reboot and avoid ALL artificial sexual stimuli.
 
Thanks Fappy for the encouraging words :)

What really worries me is that I've been PMOing with NO libido for the past 3 years. During that time I've been PMOing just to check that my penis is still working (it is, 80-90% but I need constant manual stimulation) but I'm never really turned on.

I wonder if those 3 years didn't damage my brain beyond possible recovery? 3 years without a working libido is a very long time.
Also I never have erection just using thoughts anymore. I only get them while using manual stimulation. Is this common with PIED?

Thanks again for your help

This is very common with PIED. It started for me with a loss of libido, at least for the real thing; women. Then it was impossible to get an erection unless I spend a lot of time trying to manipulate one with my hands. The moment I stopped touching myself, the erection would disappear. Finally, I arrived at a situation where I couldn't even get hard to porn and was masturbating with a 60% erection.

The solution is to stop watching porn. I've decided to go hard mode because it worked in the past. So, no masturbation and absolutely NO porn or porn substitutes (sex chat, comics, etc.).

Stay away from porn. Be patient, and you will recover.

It's possible, of course, but it's not an easy path, what's your usual posture for masturbation?
