NoFap hasn't cured my PE and I feel like I've run out of options

Hi Community,

My first post here. This is more a post about PE as regards to ED which I feel is much less common but just as severe. It's basically a reaching out to any people with a similar problem to mine and any advice people have, that would be much appreciated.

My NoFap journey started around 4 months ago, I decided i'd try anything to attempt and cure my PE which I feel is the sole cause of my anxiety and the missing piece for me in being that normal person i've always wanted to be. Somewhat dramatic but true. It was my first time trying it and I didn't relapse once, tried medium mode (so no porn/ masturbation but still slept with a few girls along the journey). Those who are familiar with it know all to well the embarassment, the worry, the way it holds you back from trying certain things, seeing certain people and trying new experiences, even for me to the stage of turning down sex with a pretty woman because I was confident I couldn't satisfy her sexually.

What has led me to this post today and reaching out was I surpassed the 90 days easily, the so-called curing phase and had read some very promising posts on this here forum about NoFap curing their PE, this was naturally the aim, but it didn't work out that way. The past week my ex girlfriend was back in town (she's somewhat familiar with my PE and a really nice person, we also ended on good terms). The whole Easter break we had sex roughly 2/3 times a day and the longest I lasted was about 4 minutes, even with the breathing techniques I'd been practicing and some breaks the sensation was too much and I couldn't hold out any longer. As nice as she was about it its still very emasculating and led to the whole experience being so much less enjoyable. This has since stuck in my mind.

On the back of this, i'm extremely disheartened so i'm asking for people suffering from similar to please let me know what worked for them. I have also experimented with edging and kegels before NoFap. I genuinely feel like I have run out of options and would do anything to cure it. Thanks for reading and any suggestions once again would be very much appreciated. Also feel free to ask any questions!

Hope you're also having a great day otherwise!

Hi Coolyorky, i'm still on my NoFap journey and I stated in the thread that I tried those methods before beginning (e.g. not now as it interferes with the rules of NoFap) and they didn't work, thanks for your input though, what i'm gonna take from it is to keep on going as there are other benefits in my life, keep it up too mate!

 

Oh wow, sad to hear that and it doesn't bode well for this I guess, how similar was the question to mine?

 

Hi bluered, from all the research i've done into it, the suggestion is that even in the most severe cases of ED and PE, if you reach the 120 day mark then all the damage caused over the years should be reverted, and there are many cases of this, however as with our problem I have only seen this mainly with ED unfortunately. There are a few posts (on here and elsewhere) saying the same occurs for PE so it is definitely worth a try and the benefits in general life i've found with more time/ energy are great, as well as willpower. A month is great progress! So keep it up, I would like to know that it worked for someone at least

 

Hi 'The Wrestler', without going too deep, I used to suffer form strong social anxiety (strong enough that i wouldn't want to leave the house, and many times didn't for fear of an adverse social interaction), however my problems with PE were after this so have always assumed they were unrelated, when I picture the situation and finishing early, not much comes close in terms of embarassment and feeling unsatisfactory if i'm to be honest. Don't know what you can take from that lol

 

Thanks very much for the suggestion! I have heard of hindi squats before but never got around to trying them, I will start trying this and let you know how it goes haven't a clue how I can tell if its working or not while on nofap...
