My journey on Hardmode. Finally found the key to success.

Hi everybody i'm here to share my experience with you cause i'm nearly totally cured and i think my experienced can help you too.

Today i'm 23, i'm french, I started masturbation to high speed internet porn at 12. My first experience with a girl was at 19. Conclusion = no erection at all. It was like the thing i've always dreamt of was finally not really good as porn.So  I kept watching porn and struggled to have sex with my Gf during 2 years. It took me 1 years to manage to have a 60% erection with her and handjobs were necessary to get the thing on track.

And then at the age of 22, the 10th April 2015, i watched a video, a TED video with a guy named Garry Wilson who explain the PIED. And at this exact moment, i knew i wasn't weak, sterile, or unable. I was just physically injured in my own brain by porn, which was in fact the start f all my sexual issues, it was poison, and i used it 10 years of my life.

It's was so crazy for me to realize that this innocent thing, immaterial and enjoyable had an impact on me, on my body. 5 days after watching all Gabe Deem's videos about reboot i started mine thinking it would take me 2 or 1 month. The first 8 days were awful, i relapsed, and retried but after that i was still masturbating to Orgasm during the reboot.  2th June 2015 is the last time i watched porn, and i'm sure now i'll never watch this sh*t again, i don't even want to.

But i didn't realized it wasn't enough. Indeed, I tried to have sex with different girls during my reboot and i was also masturbating to only sensation during this period. the verdict : Some improvements but still some frequent EDs, bad or medium erection quality especially with girls. I was despaired, i've stop porn what i could have done more ?!

Then started to think about about Hardmode : it's simple, no orgasm at all. I didn't wanted to do it because for me it was too painful to not have orgasm for 2 or 3 month. But i realized i didn't have the choice, softmode wasn't enough, you don't kill a T-rex with a spoon.

My first ''session'' was on december 2015 after another deception with a girl i've tried to have sex with. I had to maintain the erection with handjob every 15 seconds, for a 22 years old male it was definitely not normal. I lasted 22 days without orgasm, and then i had sex with the same girl. And i had only 3 words to say at this moment : Oh my god.

ED was nearly gone, i was more in the moment and sensation were uncomparable, it was like i was discovering sex for the time.
After this i kept meeting other girls but i felt my brain needed more recovery, it was some 80% percent erection and i still needed little handjob to start the fight but of course nothing like before the reboot. So 1 month ago i decided to start another reboot. I had to kill the beast forever.

Today, i'm on day 34 on hardmode without any relapse or orgasm, and of course no porn since june 2015. I feel i'm healing for good. My only advice is to be patient, it will probably take you more time than you think (probably 1 year or 1 and a half) and the most important : go hardmode, it works 100 times better. Meditation and yoga helped me a lot too.

I hope my story helped someone and thanks to Garry Wilson, Gabe Deem and all the people of this forum with their stories without i would have never known this plague and would be probably still struggling today with ED, thank you so much, you saved my youth, and my sexual life.

Hope it gonna work for you too, keep going and don't give up it worth it ! Flatline is normal mine happened the 20th day and i'm still in it. Just enjoy it as a vacation for your brain haha.
 
Quote of the day: "you don't kill a T-rex with a spoon" love it! Keep it up and thanks for posting your story. Hearing success stories is so helpful for the people rebooting as well at their partners. Best of luck in the future!

Merci dude! I'm French too. I'm About 2 times oped than you but my ED has been with me most of my life. I really thought something was seriously wrong with me. All my relationships were short lived affairs of no less than a year. I mean I just couldn't talk to girls about it and sometimes I'd blame them ( sad I know). I have just recently learned about PIED and I have a new gf who is sexy as hell and is 100% supportive. After going 30 days Hardmode I got her to give me a BJ and although I Oed it never even got hard. We make out it gets hard for about 10 seconds and as soon as my pants come off my bonner is dead. It's so humiliating as a man. So after roughly 30 days I popped a Cealis and tried to have sex but same result. I think your right about the Hardmode. I'm starting over with hard mode. Goal is 90 days. That means I will reach my goal on August 6 2016. That seems like an awfully long time. Good thing I love eating pussy!

I wish you the best then, i think if Cialis didn't worked it's a good clue that it's definitely your excitement level which is not high enough due to the porn. So do hardmode 90 days i think it's the better things to do. Bonne chance mon ami !
