If I get nocturnal erections and morning wood? I am impotent?

[nemo333]

Been rebooting since January 2014.

Went through Flatline. For a few months. (Disappearing penis and tight scrotum)

Had good sex a few times March 2014.

Since March then been getting rockhard nocturnal erections and morning wood (almost daily)

But now I have unreliable or non existant erections when with a partner. Or have good erection with PE.

I am physically well, well experienced in bed, over 25 years having sex. No aniexty with woman. Eat healthy, no drink or drugs.

Stopped porn in January, reduced MO maybe 5 times in 7 months.

Testosterone levels are normal.

Can anyone shine a light on my problems?

To me, this sounds like it is just part of the recovery process. I would take the return of your morning wood and nocturnal erections as an excellent sign of progress - but it definitely doesn't mean you are recovered. I've read multiple journals where people have morning woods and nocturnal erections returns but still have spotty erections with partners.

I think the biggest advice I can give is to cut down your orgasms drastically for a good period of time. This really does help a lot of people. It sounds like you aren't really having too many orgasms as it is, but see if you can get on a nice long streak without orgasms. This is where the real progress happens for many people!

I agree with fugu.

I also have been in reboot/rewiring since Jan 2014.  I have been P & M free for over 200 days now - no itention to go back to the dark side, there is nothing there for me.

My morning wood was back within a month or so of starting the reboot, but responding to my wife has been, well terrible.  I am much better in the morning than in the evenings for whatever reason.  definately failed to respond to her more in the first months, would seem to get better, and have periods (like now) where i feel like i am regressing.  all very frustrating for my wife and for us.  When we are together, and i do O, there is some truth i feel to the mini flatline - my heart and head want to be with my wife, but i cant respond.  So you may wish to limit your O'ing for awhile.  I keep an offline journal, and one of the things i do in it is track this sorta thing.  There is no rhyme or reason to much at this point, but i hope that someday soon, there will be visible improvement.

It takes time - it will take as long as it takes.  Stay strong, no P & no M is critical to success.

you can and will get through this.

As you mentioned on YBR, you were using Propecia a few years back. As we discussed there, it seems this drug can maybe cause ED as a severe and possibly permanent (or at least long lasting) sideeffect in a low percentage of its users.

propecia may have triggered my ED and I used porn to keep up my libido.  On Propecia and after it I had good quality sex, after  propecia I kept using P and MO a lot. As I stopped P in January I did go through a flatline, but now I get MW and nocturnal erections every night since March, rock hard. That is new to me? I  am approaching 44. Porn was only in my life for 5 years.

my ED may have been triggered also by having a  excessive sex,  change in diet, environment. that may sound ridiculous, I just moved to SE Asia, but it might have been the Propecia. cannot pinpoint anything

If I abstain from O I get good erections but can suffer PE, but if I have sex multiple times in quick.succession I seem to get a mini flatline.

Thanks for all your replies.
