Hi,
I am 21 and I have known that I have PIED since April 2021. I have had numerous unsuccessful sexual encounters, and even though I have liked those girls a lot, I was never able to get a full erection. I stopped watching porn when I figured this out in April and I would try to not masterbate but I was never able to abstain for longer than 2 weeks at a time. 4 days ago I broke and watched porn for the first time since April, and it felt good to have a full erection but I felt very guilty after. I feel like I am making no progress so I am committing myself to anyone who will follow along with me. I have followed other peoples journeys when I found out about PIED in April, and I thought I was strong enough to do this myself. I have found out I am not, and as I am too ashamed to tell anyone I know about my problems I am here looking for the support of the community.
My goal is to go for 1 month without PMO, doubling my current highest stream. From there I will try and go longer, but a month sounds more realistic than 3 months, so this is the goal for now. I have been going 4 days strong so far (since September 17th).
To be able to get full erections would help give me confidence again, as I feel emasculated by my inability to do what all men should be able to do. It has stopped me from talking to girls as I don't see the point if I can't do anything with them sexually. I believe myself to be mentally strong and happy, I exercise 5x a week and have a good job which I enjoy. I believe I have a healthy lifestyle so I am hoping that this will be positive in my pursuit of curing my PIED.
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on using a fleshlight when I return to Masterbation. I am worried that my penis is used to my hand and not a vagina, I wonder if this will help me get better erections.
thanks for reading, hopefully you will join me in my journey.
