Just wondering...

I'm 17 almost 18 and have masturbated since i was like 14 and watched porn since like 14/15. I use to mix porn with people i know in real life but this last year i have been watching purely porn and some pretty extreme porn too. I was wondering... i still get decent morning erections although don't get random boners. How long will it take me to reboot? I'm hoping not 9 months? I'm having penis surgery possibly in half a year just wondering because i'm not sure if this may effect it.
Please help!

Hey dude! First of all, I still get morning erections as well, but its mostly a natural reaction of pressure on the prostate from the bladder. Once you've taken a piss (run some cold water on your dick first if it won't go down a bit in the bathroom) it will usually go away pretty quick. Try not drinking anything 3 hours or so before going to bed and see if the morning boners still come round.

Secondly, everybody's reboot is different just as every person is different! Usually it seems to depend on how long and how heavy your use has been. Luckily you're young and have under 5 years of use, so it should be quicker for you. After that I'd say its how well you do your reboot. Stay 100% PMO free, avoid sexual fantasies, even semi-nude pics (i.e girls in bikinis etc). Let your brain rest from all that so it can re-wire!

Give it at least 90 or 120 days before even attempting to masturbate again, if possible, wait until you're with a real live girl you're attracted to in more than just a physical way!

As for your penis surgery... I guess it depends on what kind of surgery you're having? Your penis isn't the problem when it comes to losing erections etc, its your brain! Its been trained to only get it up for porn or when you're giving yourself the "death grip" wank.

There is no for sure answer to this as everyone is different.

I suggest reading the FAQ's here - http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=70.0

Also read this thread - The basics of rebooting

Well porn-induced ED is a brain issue and not a penis issue, so probably not. Depends on what kind of surgery you are having I guess. Something like getting circumcised should not affect your reboot.

Yeah man, my experience has been that it does come back and sooner rather than later (a few weeks for me but obviously we are all different). When and if you reintroduce non porn masturbation you can use your forearm or really try to be conscious of not over gripping. For me it has made sex with my partner feel THAT much better whereas in my worst of it I could barely orgasm from sex.
