Help required for PIED and flatline recovery

[Jigsawpuzzle]

Hello guys

I have been a porn addict with daily or alternate day edging and weekly O for 8 years. Later while engaging with gf I realised I had ED. Started nofap journey since last 1.5 years. Haven’t watched porn but have relapsed sometime in last 18 months to porn alternates and images. Very few real life intercourse in this period. But the flatline doesn’t seem to end. I get horny only once in 15-20 days and then also face ED and hence relationship issues and then again flatline. MW also not there since I stopped watching porn.
Can anyone who has succeeded in overcoming reboot share some tips or guidelines on what should I do to get over the flatline and PIED. Have started cold showers recently to improve as suggested in some article on net.

Hey @Jigsawpuzzle, I haven't been going as long as you. I still do suffer from ED occassionally, but flatlines have seemed to go away for me. Here's what worked for me:
Cold showers - You've already started. They're great
Daily Meditaion
Diet and exercise
The single biggest factor though was being with my wife and not allowing myself to orgasm. I'd maybe try being sexual with your girl, but don't cum. Maybe do that a few times and see where that takes you. As far as the ED goes, opinions vary on using ED pills. I personally think they're ok as a tool to help get your confidence back.

Good luck! I hope this helps

What's your longest streak number of days and/or months of no porn and/or orgasms to porn?

Yes, this is an important factor.

Hi. It will be 1-1.5 month without porn. But even if I do slip to porn once in 30-40 days I don’t masturbate to porn. Masturbation to a picture or intercourse (with orgasm) with gf is roughly once in 7 days

Hey thanks for the tips. Definitely very helpful and confidence boosting. Some say that to kick start your libido you need to masturbate sometimes if flatline is prolonged. Any view on that

I did that and it did help. It’s tricky though as it is very easy to let porny fantasies whether your mind. In which case can slow you down. Give it a shot and see what happens but try to keep your mind clear and focus of sensation alone. If I found fantasies creeping into my thoughts I tried to direct them to thoughts of real life experiences I’ve had. It helped. Good luck
