Persistent tingling but completely soft during reboot

[reboot_8716]

Sorry,But I have to point out something.During my reboot from day 1 I had a gf and I can't explain how helpful it was.I went hardmode of course for like 5 months,but if you ask me you don't need hardmode for "many months" as you described,but rather just do a hard mode for like 90 or 60 or 120 days or whatever number you like,build up confidence during that time and go for sex if you have a chance.Sex is the whole point of reboot,so if you avoid it-what's the pont ? You can only get your mind in vicious cycle-what I mean is that by always avoiding sex you can subconsciously create the illusion in your brain that it's something bad and will always be afraid and anxious about it.Then you would wait for some magical day that your libido is unholdable but it won't ever come with that mindset.So you need to have sex if you want to fully recover.

100% agree. I’m very committed to staying away from porn right now, but I’m also trying to build intimacy with my wife and that means having sex together. Often times it’s just oral sex or hand jobs but the point is we’re working our way back to having penetrative sex which is the goal

People who have MILD CASES OF PIED can luckily continue having sex. Unfortunately for men who are a VERY SEVERE (SERIOUS) case of PIED the best option is to go MONK MODE OR HARD MODE. I've been checking these forums for years. I say this from my experience in forums.

I absolutely agree that a period of abstinence is vital. The length of time varies from person to person but We need to remember the end goal here. Normal, healthy, sexual function. You can’t abstain forever and expect to accomplish that goal.

You are not a SEVERE case of PIED. You were not a SEVERE case. You were a MILD case. That's why luckily you did the reboot by having sex.


Fortunately, you are not a SERIOUS CASE.


I am glad to know that your case of PIED IS NOT SERIOUS.

SERIOUS PIED cases cannot have any type of intimacy, or masturbation, or even fantasize.

SEVERE CASES OF PIED HAVE TO GO ON A HARD MODE FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. no girlfriend, no relationships of any kind, NO MASTURBATION, WITHOUT ANY KIND OF SEXUAL FANTASY.


It is the only option of possibility of cure When there is a SEVERE CASE OF PIED.

I don't really know the definition of severe pied and the difference between mild and severe pied.I needed between 10 and 11 months to have sex,so I wouldn't call that mild case.
The other things you said like starting slow with orgasms is on point and I completely agree,but telling people to stay away from anything sexual for 6-18 months and then go for prostitute isn't a very good advice.If you ask me the best advice would be : stay away from any artificial stimuli always and forever and don't fantasize too much bcs it can easily lead to PMO relapse,instead find
a loving partner as soon as you feel confident enough and have reached some NoFap goal that you wished for,but it's up to each individual person to choose their way of rebooting.

Hello. I think you misunderstood my suggestion.

AT NO TIME AM I PROMOTING PROSTITUTION IN THIS PLACE.

WARNING:

SEEKING PROSTITUTION CAN ONLY BE AN OPTION IF THE PERSON IS SINGLE, FEEL HAPPY SINGLE, DOES NOT WANT A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE AND LIVES IN A COUNTRY WHERE PROSTITUTION IS LEGAL.


However:

The ideal is to HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, AND START THE REWIRING WITH A GIRLFRIEND. THAT IS THE ADVICE I SUGGEST TO YOU IF YOU ARE YOUNG

HOW OLD ARE YOU ?


If you are young, you live in a country where prostitution is illegal and you want a ROMANTIC partner in your life, Ahead.

My case is very very DIFFERENT: I am 40 years old, I live in a country where prostitution is LEGAL and I am a HAPPY SINGLE man. I never want to get married. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A ROMANTIC PARTNER. I just want casual sex. I feel very good like this.

Remember: DO NOT FOLLOW MY WAY. Follow the path that MAKES YOU HAPPY according to your needs.


To end:

Changing the subject, there is something that you and I must be clear about and that is the reason why we are in this forum (at least me):

NEVER GO BACK TO PMO NO MATTER WHAT HA

Hello,
Just to be clear,I didn't mean to talk about prostitution here nor am I judging your ways at all.I just mentioned that there is no distinct definition on mild or severe pied that I know of and because of that nobody can be 100% sure if they have mild or severe pied.However the thing I know by my experience and by reading through this and many other NoFap forums is that having a regular partner that you feel confident and enjoy spending time with is the necessity if you want to properly reboot.Wish you and everybody here best of luck.

In my opinion reviering doesn't work. How could you have an erection with a woman if you can't get a full erection on masturbation or even on porn? I had a relationship for 4 years, after each orgasm I went flatline. Too much orgasm is the cause of flatline in my opinion.

i’m gonna be honest man. from reading your other points it sounds like your ed is due to nerve damage of some sort. with erectile dysfunction caused by nerve damage, your dick still works (morning wood etc) but the message to signal arousal are not carried from your brain to your dick. this came from a doctor. this is probably due to excessive masturbation during some time. morning wood is simply a reflex of your parasympathetic nervous system during rem sleep, a natural bodily process. psychogenic/reflexive erections ( arousal/sexual stimulation) rely on signals to be carried from your brain to your dick. loss of libido can be explained to lack of contractions of the pelvic floor and ability to be bodily aroused. just offering a suggestion. don’t take it too deep.
