Now that I suffer from PIED I am putting together some stuff from my past

[fapacwl]

For a while it seemed as though PIED was an onset, immediate thing, which is why I thought it was performance anxiety for a while.

Now I am putting my history together. My freshman year of college I had sex with 4 girls, each one a couple of times. I think that the newness of the situations contributed to my excitement level, and ability to achieve full erection. But I also think it was there slightly, my first semester of sophmore year I took a girl home from a party, and could not get it up. Here I blamed alcohol, but now I see it was not just alcohols fault.

The next semester I met my girlfriend, I had sex with her twice, and then the third time I noticed I couldnt get hard, and I was sober, she also noticed and took alarm. For the next two months I was in mental turmoil, and depressed because something wasn't right with me. Then I found YBOP and it made sense to me. I am now 60 days into reboot.

Did anyone else have similar stories to this? I really want to get over this... it is agonizing, I am nervous to see my girlfriend again... (we have been apart for summer break). She is probably expecting me to be better after I have told her about all this stuff.

Yeah I been through pretty much the same,

Actually at this very moment I tried having sex (I'm drunk) and it was enough for penetration but my erection faded after a while. A few months ago I could not even penetrate so I guess I'm on the right path. I actually did have a successful intercourse with this very same girl a week back but it wasn't very pretty. Still something.

You are not alone and hopefully with the right mindset we can all get back to normal eventually. I had 102 days totally free of pmo and now the last 3 weeks I've been playing around with this girl just to find out im not ready yet. No porn for like a year. No masturbation for like 6 months.

Yeah. I definitely put a lot of things together after "discovering" my addiction as well.

Hopefully your girlfriend understand that for a lot of men this can take longer than 3 months! If you are having erections troubles when you see her again, I HIGHLY recommend that you try abstaining from orgasm with her and just do some rewiring. Lots of kissing, touching and hanging out. ORgasms (even with a partner) can be detrimental to the reboot sometimes if our brain is ready for them. It's likely they restimulate porn pathways in the brain and can slow us down. Just my two cents!

Hang strong man!
