Is my ED PI?

[Rosso]

Hello and greetings! I'm looking forward to discussing matters with you. I thank in advance for all your responses  .

My story:

Mid-June this year I just woke up one morning with a dead dick. Felt cold tingling afterwards. Got erections through handwork but the quality went downhill fast. I just don't feel ''the rush'' and the blood isn't going to my dick like it used to (I do get weak but staying nocturnal erections with perhaps 70% quality before this incident). Intercourse is achievable but often takes extra effort. I don't receive stimulation my dick goes soft fast. During erections my glands don't get as big as it used to. Viagra does help a little but only a little. I feel like my whole body is fighting against me getting excited.

So far I've ruled out neurological possibilities through numerous laboratory tests. Earlier today I ruled out the big satan aka Venous Leak through the injection -test (I actually had to have the antidote as my erections wouldn't calm down  ;D). I'm 190cm tall, 78kg. I run, I swim, I go to the gym so I think vascular disease etc. are out of the question.

I've watched porn approximately 3-4 times a week since I was 14 (In my mid-twenties now). During these last few years I've had several 2-3 hour long click -marathons. Stopped watching it completely four weeks ago. I have masturbated couple of times but every time without porn. If this is PIED I realize I have a long road to climb but with your support and with the knowledge of beating this I will succeed.

What do you guys think? Does this match PIED?

Thanks,
Rosso

you might be hitting a flatline from avoiding porn.  KEEP Avoiding PORN.

When I quit porn the 1st time I quit for about 1 month and literally could not get an erection  even if I was using my hands aggressively - my doctor told me to monitor my morning wood & journal it - I'd recommend the same.  If you are avoiding porn you may be in a flatline, but the morning wood could be an indication of a serious health issue as well.  Start monitoring it and see how many days a week you get it & how in terms of % you are erect. 

If you fall below a threshold of personal concern then see your doctor - I will admit for me it was one of the most embarrassing discussions of my life...  :-[ but at least you will know!  

For me though I was only getting MW about 2 times a week at 50-70% what my former erections were - & this lasted for about a solid month & after continuing to avoid porn & alcohol & sugar it started to improve - a lot!  About three months later I was getting MW about 5-6 times a week at 70-100%.

Best of Luck Rosso!

Yeah one of the reasons I've only been without porn for about a month is because 1) This type of dysfunction was alien to me as a concept, 2) I was filled with paranoia and thought it was Venous Leak. I did some extreme sports before this occurred which lead to me thinking I caused this through sports. It was only yesterday that my doctor cleared this possibility through tests.

Being the Sherlock Holmes that I am, I started with two possibilities. Sudden loss of potency would only mean 1) serious injury or 2) severe psychological shock. Peyronie's and other possibilities are out of the question as they happen gradually.

So now I'm just reading and re-reading Gabe's stuff and enjoying life as good as I can. I prefer to see this as a mental toughness exercise. To the victor belong the spoils.

Hey, sorry to hijack the this thread but could you possibly illiterate on your point regarding the posters morning wood and possible indication of a serious health issue?
This is the first time i've read anyone saying that and could do with tapping into some of your knowledge on it.

For the poster i'm sure there is a thread around here somewhere with certain checks to do so that you can tell whether or not your ed is porn induced and/or whether it's physical or mental etc etc, something to do with whether you can get an erection without porn just with your mind, whether you actually get morning wood at all which proves your tool actually works just fine, and whether or not it's just a case of not being able to keep it up which indicates that it is indeed porn induced and your brain is the problem, if you have problems ejaculating also indicates that it could be porn induced because you can't reach the levels of arousal to ejaculate because youre accustom to watching porn with beautiful women and normal women just not doing it for you enough to push you over the edge,
I'd say that if you're healthy, and do get morning wood, it's pied, good news for you, good luck for the future matey.

First of all, thank you all for replies.

Update of the last few days. Since confirming that this is not VL through tests on wednesday, I've slept very well and I've had best morning wood in five months. Also getting some spontaneous day time erections as well. It's still not as good as it was before the crash but the direction is definitely into that way. Also a full month without porn at all. Haven't even masturbated but I do find myself fantasizing at times. I try to direct my energy elsewhere though . Erections still require some stimulation to keep up but I could have an intercourse very well. Going to follow your advice and abstain if possible though. Never ever going to watch porn again. Never.

All in all. Yesterday was the first day in five months that I know for certain I'm getting better. Yeah!
