Hey Hockey14,
great to read your success story. I an currently on day 28 of no PMO and your story motivated me. I just have one question tho.
When you mentioned " I wasn't able to get it up consistently with touch alone until 1.5 yrs". What does that mean? nobody can get it up with touch alone, some sort of fantasy is required right (obviously no porn fantasy)??
When I fantasize about a real girl I do get hard but without that i can't.
Please help!
Thank you

Young healthy men should still be able to get it up with touch alone. Older age or being circumcised might affect this though. Watch Gabe Deem's earlier porn induced ED videos on youtube. He talks about this in more detail.

This is encouraging ....am 20 and facing probably the same problem :-( .... Last month as i was M to Porn, all of a sudden my erection faded away.... That dropped me into depression as i was physically fit and going to gym for a long ... A month passed without MO . Can you please let me know if there was no sensation on your penis skin at beginnin of reboot , because am observing that with poor erections there is only a very little sense of my hand on it ... I can't feel that extremly sensitive foreskin .... Am getting 60-70% MW ... Sometimes ... And really need some advice... Cause am really suffering alot as am unable to share it to parents ... I was a moderate porn user...

I was also unable to share with my parents for a long time. I understand what you mean. I was in the exact same position as you are now. You may start experiencing withdrawal symptoms around this time (around 1 month into reboot). Prepare yourself in case you do experience these.

I was also a "moderate" porn user, but the side effects were still very severe for me. I also had zero sensation/stimulation from touch alone for many months. I won't lie to you, it will likely be a challenging journey, but if you stay away from PMO you will recover in time. Read some of my early posts from 2017. I bet you will find some similarities to your story that may be useful. Were all gonna make it. Hang in there.

Hang in there - you will recover fully in time. Be wary of withdrawal symptoms. They are usually in full effect after around 1 month of rebooting process.

man i am day 5 of no without masturbation ( which i did on Pics so i guess equivalent to porn and again erection was hard to reach)  and day 50 without porn. upto day 34 my progress by OK, i was getting erections( not 100% ) while bathing, also night time erection were also good ( i could feel) but not much morning woods. my erections were Good from day 34 onwards i strated to masturbte again, first 2 -3 i got good erections but after that erections started to deteriorate( i was doing on pics ) and last one i.e 5 days ago was a really a mess and after masturbation i went into very severe flatline, no night erections no morning woods like day 1, but after 5 days i do feel that i have a dick that is alive, i am getting erections that are very weak and very inconsistent. now i have decided that i will not masturbate and even think in that direction.

did you feel similar way.

I feel that i have never had an feeling how attraction towards real life women feels like.even if a lot of women were giving a lot if hints,i could see that, i had just no motivation at all for them.

i also sometimes feel scared that i would ever be able to get my manhood back, i swear if i get it back i would not waste it on this porn shit and give it all to only one woman.

Yeah don't let yourself relapse to even "softcore" porn. it is still porn and has the same effect on your brain. I did think that way. Avoid all porn and you will recover in time.

Do you mean you get urges followed by several days of flatline? If so - yes this happened to me often. It is part of the process. Keep rebooting and hang in there. You will make it.

I was a long rebooter too. I know its frustrating and feels like it can take forever, but the only thing we can control is just staying away from porn. I wouldn't worry about not having sexual experience/no gf. I had a gf for much of my reboot but didn't feel fully recovered until long after we broke up. The best thing you can do is work on yourself. I recommend going to the gym and training with weights. Take it seriously, stay away from drugs, and watch yourself transform. Bodybuilding/weight training helped me tremendously. Hang in there.

Hi man! Happy to see someone with severe PIED get cured. I have the same issue.
Can you explain how was your process?
How many days of softcore did you do?
How many days of hardcore did you do?
When did you manage to have a 100% boner? (I am having 50% boners with my gf when she touches me or we are kissing)
I made 1 month in softcore (using cialis while having sex) and 1 month in hardcore. Im planning to do 2 more months of hardcore and then try to make softcore.

First of all, sorry for my english fellow fapstronauts jajaja Im spanish. This is my story, i posted it in nofap reddit. Maybe you could give me some insight, thank you!

Hi guys, I?ve just made one year pornfree. The first month of this year I was pornfree though I MOed, the following 145 days were PMO free, then I introduced masturbation (I masturbated every other day) with O but ALWAYS without P.
First of all, Im 23. I?ve been struggling with PIED since I was 16. Up to that age (16), I was always making out with chicks and had a great live basically. I remember that when I was 16 I started losing my mojo, even though I had a gorgeous girlfriend at the time and I had no stress or any shit going on in my life. I went from being the guy with a constant bonner (just looking at my girlfriend i wanted to fuck her), to a guy with no interest whatsoever in real chicks. I remember once (i was 14) a friend of mine talked to me about performance anxiety and that in my mind I thought "completely imposible that happens to me", I never was afraid of anxiety because I was so horny and I hadnt the slightest bit of shyness in me.
As I said, with no apparent reason I started limpdicking chicks left and right. I consider myself to be handsome and I know how to flirt, so i would always get opportunities to have sex with girls. I couldnt believe it but my libido was nonexistent when it came to real women. So when I was 21, I had enough limpdicking chicks, and I kind of gave up trying. I didnt know PIED was a thing, and i thought that I was the only guy in the world with this fucking emasculating problem.
I KNEW that anxiety was not my problem. But as I didnt consider myself to be addicted to internet porn, it never occurred to me that it could be causing me any problem, even though I used it every day (short sessions though, smthing around 5 mins) and i could not get an erection without it. I also remember scalating to some disgusting shit: gangbangs, bukkakes, orgies, spanking, compilations... And i started spending muuuuch more time searching for the right videos and the right moments of those videos than masturbating. I know recognize that i was searching for constant novelty, even though i didnt scalate nearly as much as many people have (for what ive read in this forum). I never saw nothing too disturbing, and as I said i wasnt addicted neither. I wish i had ended up watching gay stuff or being addicted, that way i would have realised that porn was in fact problematic, but i didnt, and that allowed years to pass with me not knowing what my problem was.
Is spanish and I live in Spain, and here (as in many places I guess jajaja) everybody assumes that porn is this great thing that helps people get educated on sex. In august 2019, I dont even know how, i came across YBOP. As soon as i read the first story about PIED, I KNEW that porn was what had being haunting me the last 7 FUCKING YEARS. I havent watched porn since, and im never going to. Quitting porn hasnt been difficult as i wasnt addicted. I have to say that i noticed lots of changes during this time, more than enough to realise that porn was what had been holding me back.
Since I was 16 ive tried EVERYTHING to solve this problem. I went to the doctor and i told him i was impotent, so i got tested for that but everything was perfect. All my shit was in order, and my doctor told me that my results were more that ok, that they were excellent. So that my problem had to be anxiety. Ok, so i went to this sexologist. He told me a bunch of crap, that didnt work, but is not his fault because he doesnt know about PIED. I?ve also tried VIAGRRA, didnt work. I?ve also tried MDMA, as many people say that it is incredibly afrodisiac, didnt work either.
I have to say, i lost my virginity when I was 16 even though i didnt cum. I have fucked 4 or 5 girls since then, but i havent cum once. I also have to say that even if those occasions i became erect, i didnt feel a thing in my penis. I mean, fucking those girls was as if i was rubbing my finger in a table, didnt feel like sex to me AT ALL. So, somewhere around 10 ocassions i couldnt become erect, and when i did, i couldnt feel a thing or orgasm. I was totaly desensitized to sex with a partner.
From when i was 18 to august 2019 (i was 22), i hadnt had a single spontaneous erection or MW (morning wood), or the slightest hint of libido. And this last year that i havent watched porn i have had lots of spontaneous erections and MW, and there have also been moment when my libido was huge, and moments of total flatline too. More than enough to prove that im on the right track.
Ive been talking with this girl that i like for 2 months now. We have met two times and kissed and cuddled, and the third day i fingered her till she orgasmed. Then she tried to give me a hand job but I stoped her making a lame excuse (told her it was late and i had things to do early next morning, all of it was true, but i mean, if i had been able to become aroused enough to fuck her i would have even if it was the end of the world). I have to say, every time we kissed or even touched i was rock hard erect. But when the oportunity of having sex arised, i was too in my head and too anxious.
I guess that maybe is too soon in my reboot or that maybe i need to rewire a bit more, but i also have to admit that now anxiety is playing a role. I mean, after all those lousy experiences limpdicking chicks, i most certainly have developed quite a bit of anxiety. So im planing to tell her that porn has desensitized me, and that ive had all this bad expiriences, and im sure she will understand. Maybe this is the last straw, and will liberate me from the anxiety of "having to performe once and for all" or "not failing again".
What do you think guys? Have you been in a similar situation? I think that there should be a section for LONG REBOOTERS in these forums (NoFap, reebotnation, yourbrainrebalanced...), because even if Gary Wilson sais that it is more and more common to see cases of young guys that need 1 or 2 years to reboot, in YBOP there are not many success stories of LONG REBOOTERS. I?ve read all there are in YBOP, but there arent much, and most of them are shitty stories of people that say they needed 2 years to reboot but because they were constantly relapsing. Thats not fucking rebooting jhajajaj Of course, if you are relapsing every other week you wont recover soon. A long reboot is when you have finally been able to get over your relapses, and even then, you struggle for 1 or 2 years to reach a good level of sexual health.
I hope this story has been relatable and useful for you guys. Keep on trucking!!

Zimbardoo thanks for sharing.  I completely agree there should be a Long Rebooters section dedicated to greater than 1 year abstinent from porn and 2 years abstinent from porn without relapse.  I imagine there are several of us here, but it is difficult to find them.  More of us would post perhaps if a specific section were started.
Good luck with everything and I shall post if ever I seem to have progress.
