Thanks for the advice, but I have been to several doctors about this over the years. They have run various tests. Bloodwork, vascular system, etc. Always they conclude that the issue is not physical but psychological.
All apologies in advance for the "woe is me" type of rant I'm about to do, I know there's no shortage of those on these forums. Seems I am motivated to post only to describe the absolute depths of my despair, and how I believe I have it so bad (as we all do). I'll try not to fall into self pity...
Yep, complete sexual dysfunction for the last 8 years. No erections, morning wood, et cetera. Nothing. No desire for relationships. It is very severe, I would say more so than most situations I've seen on these forums. 2 years of rebooting hasn't really changed anything.
Thanks for your insight. I've also been checking out the forums of long-rebooters, as one myself. I think I may have posted in one of the threads you reference. I totally agree with what you are saying about internet usage in general. My experience has also been that internet usage alone, even...
After my last, very pessimistic post, I am happy to report I have had the first promising (albeit slight) signs of healing this week.

Checking in after over a year since my last post on my journal.
Not much change or progress to report, feeling pessimistic and that my case of PIED may be so bad that I cannot return to normal. Some numbers: I am now exactly two years into my reboot journey in total, one year since my last PMO...
Saw this post as well as the other recent post affirming that all PIED is reversible. I myself am in a similar position to you, and have even been suspecting that I may be "incurable". So instead of making a new post I will add to this discussion, so I can vent, respond to your situation, elicit...
Day 1. As I type this I have relapsed an hour ago after a 95 day streak. This next streak will be my last, and I plan to keep track of it in this journal. I am 23.
Background
I have what I think is severe PIED, it seems worse than most people on here, although some people seem in a similar...
