Masturbation without porn??? And loads of other questions?

[ChalieSunn]

I'm a 19 year old who has been watching porn since I was about 13. I have had a problem with erectile dysfunction with real women since I was 17 and have failed to perform multiple times. I haven't watched proper porn for 117 days now, although I have been regularly masturbating while fantasizing (once a day for the last month) and occasionally I have masturbated to a non sexually explicit images of women. I have found it fairly easy to quit watching porn but very difficult to quit masturbation and fantasising about sex. Is this masturbation slowing down my recovery? What if I masturbate without any fantasy involved?

My second question is how long can I expect to take to recover? I am willing to give up all masturbation and fantasy if it will speed up my recovery. During the 117 days I have gone without porn i have felt very little change, and still regularly experience ED if I am getting with a girl or something. Will maximising my contact with women help to rewire by brain faster?

Thank you for reading this and please I will take any replies because I am really starting to lose hope with the whole process.

Quitting masturbation will very likely help speed recovery, even without fantasy it can still be a detriment.

How long it will take to recover is unknown, anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years but the average seems to be 2-6 months.

Yes the more time spent with women the faster you will rewire. However you MIGHT need a break from orgasm.. if you notice no benefit after a few months of no M then try no O also, you can still have sex etc just stop early

Everyones recovery time is different mate. But since you are young and havnt been watching for THAT long, it might not take so long. Just gotta stick to it. Its great that youve realised the problem and now know how to fix it. Mate, when i was 19 i was fapping to porn on buses, trains, anywhere i was when i felt the need to fap. By 21 i had perfected the art of standing facing a wall with my back to a room full of people and jacking off under a long coat. Thats messed up. Dont let that happen to you! Change your life! Dont end up a standing-public-coat-fapper-wierdo!
