I need advice

I recently turned 18
I have been watching porn and masturbating since 13.
I noticed i had PIED when i decided to stop watching porn for a week...my dick was dead that's when i found this website.
During the time i watched porn....i was not depressed,i still admired girls😅

I started my Nofap journey around May 14th this year....buh i still found myself relapsing
Then recently i started getting morning wood (not everytime tho)
I also tried masturbating with porn just thinking about a girl😅
It was not 100%
I also stopped getting this urge to watch porn or masturbate
I started admiring girls

i was with a girl on Wednesday last week...i could definitely feel it getting up,it was not strong enough😂
Also i don't get random erection (which still disturbs me)
I think am quite happy with the little progress

I have a question to ask
The only thing i keep relating to porn are my wallpapers i love them....i don't feel anything when i see them no urge at all
Is there anything wrong with it
 
When it comes to rebooting from pornography, the answer generally given to the question of 'but what about [thing I like], is that still ok?' is 'if you have to ask, the answer is no'. It's sort of like an alcoholic trying to switch to just drinking on weekends - not a good idea. You say that you love these wallpapers, but then have no urge towards them at all...these seem to be contradictory things to say which to me shows that they are affecting you more than you realise. I think it's a good idea to cut out ALL artificial sexual stimulation full stop, not because of some puritanical arbitrary rules, but because the real thing is always better than the artificial, and in the long run all artificial sexual stimulation does is hold you back from enjoying real life as much as you should.

This is ESPECIALLY true for you now that you are young. I too started masturbating to porn at 13, except I am now almost 35. If you don't get a hold of this now I promise you that it does not go away on its own, and take it from me, one day you'll be in your mid-30s wishing you had done more to cut out porn when you were 18.

EDIT: by the way, having severe PIED when you are 18 is VERY bad. Before the existence of porn erectile dysfunction in teenagers was almost unheard of. Porn has clearly affected you in an extremely serious way, I feel like for you the question shouldn't be 'how much can I still enjoy' but 'how can I run the farthest possible away from all of this and never look back?'
