    At what point do you start dating?

    I've struggled with PIED most of my young adult life. My goal is to one day become cured and to have a healthy relationship. I've put off pursuing girls until I become fully cured. However, I keep relapsing and so that day may never come, or might be a very long time away. A big reason I keep...

    Started so young, recovery possible?

    I began masturbation probably around the age of 10-11, obviously before puberty. The worst part is that it was prone masturbation, which is extremely harmful. Now as an adult, I've gone months without PMO and I see lots of recovery stories, but I'm still struggling so much with relapses and a...

    Advice on the best path to recovery

    Thank you. On your last point, what exactly is a doctor going to do for me? There doesn't seem to be any medical acknowledgement of PIED.

    Advice on the best path to recovery

    I relapsed yesterday. I'm definitely an extreme case and will likely need a long time to recover from PIED. After reading this forum for similar cases, I simply need to do the following to recover: Abstain from all sex, porn, social media for 3-5 years without a single relapse. Is this correct?

    Prone masturbation recovery success stories?

    As it turns out, prone masturbation leads to total desensitization and severe ED. Unfortunately this is what I'm dealing with. It seems that it's a much smaller subset of guys facing this issue, and I'm struggling to find definitive success stories of recovery. Are they out there? I'm on 6...

    Deep flatline - freaking out

    I've gone 90 days hard mode - no PMO. I'm now in a deep flatline and I feel completely lifeless down below, like I don't even have a dick. It's freaking me out and I'm feeling a temptation to "test" myself to check on the hardware. I know this would be a huge mistake and that a flatline is a...

    Have you recovered from prone masturbation? If so, how long did it take you? It seems that the recovery time to rewire from prone masturbation is much longer than PIED. I'm currently in the process of recovery, I started prone at a young age and it destroyed my sexual health...

    Do SSRIs impact rewiring?

    I was prescribed a low dose ssri which I'm taking daily. I haven't relapsed since. Along with eating healthy, working out and social clubs I'm attending, I feel like I'm on the path to recovery. I estimate it will take at least a year for me to rewire from the severe pied I suffer from. My...

    Should I start taking medication to help recover?

    I'm a worst case scenario who has had PIED my entire adult life. I believe I need 1-2 year to make any sort of recovery. I've tried everything to try and recovery, from installing blockers to establishing a rigid workout routine. I've even have accountability software on my PC AND Phone which my...

    Why do I keep self destructing?

    The cause of the 7 month relapse was a feeling a deep feeling of loneliness during the holidays (even though I was with family). Also, why does the recovery time keep moving? When I first started this journey, people would insist it was 1 year for recovery, then I read 2 years, now I'm seeing...

    Why do I keep self destructing?

    I've struggled with sexual dysfunction my entire life. My sexual development has been a perfect storm: At a very young age I masturbated prone (since stopped), discovered porn and got into fetishes. By the time I was in college I already had severe PIED. I had a girlfriend but I couldn't...
