I am 30 about to be 31,Does PIED desensetise or numb your penis?
oh, for sure! thats actually why we lose erections or cant get it up at all. we dont feel anything down. its like you are about to fuck a dolphin. its totally not arousing you, you dont feel it inside your body or inside your penis. psychologically you really want to have sex but physically you are just numb. thats why cialis is not working, it just sends blood to the penis. circulation is not the problem, its desensitization in the brain.
erections will come back after some time but numbness will still be a problem for some time. you will be less numb but still kind of numb a little bit and when numbness passes too, you are basically recovered from PIED. you might have a day some time in the future where you think you are recovered and next time you are back to numb and vice versa. looking overall, you will get better with time if you keep rewiring and limiting your O during sex.
to recover from numbness its really important to stay on nofap track forever and in the beginning limit your O with gf to once per week at maximum or eliminate it completely until you feel better (have more sensitivity down there).
some people take 6 months to recover, some 9 months, some 2 years. it really depends on how well you are staying on track (whether you are Oing during sex too much) and how much brain changed during addiction.
