is it common to never get morning wood due to PIED?

its very common. too many people complain about morning wood, like its very important thing. its totally useless unless you are waking up with a girlfriend, intending to have sex (its rarely a case when someone complains about it).
spontaneous erections are even more useless and ego based. get your mind focused on what is important, real relationships, real life. get away from lonely pleasures and lonely confirmations. who needs spontaneous erections? you need erections when you need then, not when you dont (spontaneous erections).
you may think morning wood or spontaneous erections are sings of recovery, but morning wood depends on few other factors and may not happen even to those who never used porn and may happen to many addicts with PIED (including myself). spontaneous erections are also bad sign and can be very misleading if you are judging your recovery by them.

Morning wood is dopamine dependent, right? Or am I wrong?

i been addicted for half a decade and had experience with sex and rewiring. its totally useless but its also depended on REM sleep. morning wood happens in REM sleep or something like that.scorpion1386 said:Morning wood is dopamine dependent, right? Or am I wrong?
anyway, it does not even matter, its useless. i had so strong morning wood today that i had to relapse, you think im cured from PIED because i have too strong morning wood? huge joke, its not even funny. everybody thinking like that needs a huge slap across the face.
morning wood is so insanely popular among people like nobody ever saw a pussy in their lifetime. if you really base your progress on your morning wood and spontaneous erections, you have some real growing to do. you really must pick up some girls, get intimate and see what is going on during your reboot.

While I agree that it is most beneficial to re-wire with a partner, I feel I have to point out that morning wood and spontaneous erections during the night (Nocturnal penile tumescence - NPT) are also quite important indicators of the path to recovery. All men without physiological erectile dysfunction experience nocturnal penile tumescence, usually three to five times during the night (which you might never notice), and typically during REM sleep.
While I was addicted to porn, I hardly ever had MW, but I notice that when I go on a good NoFap streak, my MW is stronger and more frequent - I see it as a positive, without obsessing about it or acting upon it (no MO!) - a good way to start the day. When I relapse, I notice MW disappears.
I suffer from PIED and am by no means recovered, but consider MW a positive sign towards recovery. Again, the important things is to not obsess about it, and in an ideal world, you would have a partner in real life to try having sex with, but that is often easier said than done.
The important thing is to cut out porn completely, and try to go without MO for as many days as you can. Don't be too hard on yourself when you relapse. Keep on going and I am sure after an extended period of no (P)MO, you will notice your morning wood will return. You probably do have spontaneous erections during your sleep, but may well never know it!
Good luck!
