Reboot made me worst

When I started the reboot I couldn't get an erection with my girlfriend, but I could get an erection with my hand (thinking in sex scenerios or viewing porn).

Now, if I try to masturbate I will ejaculate while partially erect. This is worst than the beginning... it will pass or have I another problem?
 
Well how far are you into your reboot? Hopefully it just early stage stuff.
Although personally I myself haven't really seen much noticeable benefits during my reboot, if anything I have also developed other undesirable things from abstinence. Hopefully they will pass too.
 
You are probably experiencing the flatline. From day 1-30 everything seemed worse for me but slowly gets better don't worry. Always rain before the rainbow.

Yeah, sometimes these things really don't get much better for awhile during the reboot. Remember that we are turning OFF part of our brain....and trying to turn ON another part. In that way, it kind of makes sense that you would have a drastic drop in all around libido. It's basically what the flatline is. Have faith in the process, and realize that your experience of LOSING libido after quitting pornography only makes sense in the context that you were addicted to it - when normal, un-addicted people quit porn and masturbation they just get hornier!

Keep going strong friend!

You are REBOOTING.  It's not like you stop and everything is just OK, it takes time.  It's a process.  It took Gabe 9 months!  Have you gone 9 months yet?

I'm not sure what the issue is. Is it the fact the you can only achieve a half-erection? If so, give it some time since it hasn't been long since your last reboot.

Flatline?

But I can get semi-erections.  Also, if I try harder I can get a full erection without ejaculate while soft.

Also, I can get full erections with cialis.

You're not suppsoed to try hard at all.  It's supposed to just be natural.  You need to stop "testing" yourself.  Your body needs a rest.

You could discuss whether masturbation during reboot is ok or not. But in your case it seems you just MO out of habit. How could you enjoy such a thing while only being partially erect? Give your little guy some rest. Don't force it to work, because it won't. When you feel like libido and stiffness are back to normal (which can take one week, one month or one year) you might start with some masturbation again. Until then you need to be patient, I'm afraid.

And how about sex under effect of cialis or viagra?

How old are you?  From 20-40 you shouldn't need these products.  Your body isn't ready!! Give it all a rest.  Do you really want to rely on a drug for the rest of your life?

Sometimes with PIED, since it's in the BRAIN, these drugs like viagra won't even work.  They deal with bloodflow.  That's not 20-30 year olds issue.  The issue we have is that the signals from our brain to increase bloodflow to our penis are not being sent out from normal sexual stimuli (women).. our brain has learned to send these signals from porn stimulation only. That's why you are not getting hard when you see just a female, or when you masturbate without fantasy.  Our brain isn't used to saying "ok we need a boner right now"... It's waiting for you to look at porn.
