Definitely PIED. Drop the P immediately. Including mental imagery. The other aspects of getting over PIED are quite personally dependent and different things work for different people....but...no P. Ever again. That is an absolute must.
You are on day 6 James, just be strong and believe in yourself! Cold showers, extra cold showers, push ups, and after that: stay away from home! Go on the streets, visit your friends, keep going... And stay away from home! Be strong bro! Arturo believe in you!
thx,... day 7, sort of have erection in morning, not when i wake up but after i lay in bed for a second i get one, then i pee and it goes away lol but idk... anyway, i was wondering if it was okay for me to PERFORM sexual acts on a girl? and not receive anything
im constantly scared. that my penis is just broken or dead inside, and no amount of nofap will help it. i read that masturbation 5 times a week is a lot, and yet i was doing it 4 times a DAY. i guess that is a lot... i guess this is the problem. still going strong though. i am on day 7. but is it realistic the way im thinking? im so paranoid.
thanks so now i'm on day 8 but this morning and last night I O'd, but with a partner.. i tried to penetrate because i had an erection but after i put on the condom, and then started to think about it, it went down but i dont think its psychological because it goes down with or without me thinking about it. but i O'd from BJ and mutual msturbation... so im not counting mutual M as a relapse... still no porn either. so im on day 8. couldnt penetrate yesterday but its ok
Ah, I see... you should try avoiding mutual M for a little while IMO. Try not to overstimulate yourself too much with masturbating. At the end of the day... it's still a hand jerking you off. (sorry for being so blunt about it.)
im on day 9 and have no urges. i am doubting i will ever get fixed. i dont WANT to PMO right now. but i also dont see a light at the end of the tunnel
I know it isn't what you want to hear, but you just have to be patient. This will get better -- it will. But it is not going to happen in 10 days or 20 days or even 30 days, in all likelihood. You're just going to have to trust that you're on the right path and keep going in the right direction. You already know what lies in the other direction, so why waste time going backwards? There are SO many people in here who have been through the initial urges and the flatline and everything else you're experiencing. Trust us. We know what you're going through....and there's no substitute for going through it. No shortcuts. It's not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it. Stay on the path.
It does take patience, but if you are still waking up with morning wood, you are in good shape...as long as the morning wood is straight (relative to your historical curvature). I went this route a while ago (was PIED), and was badly surprised to find that after the reboot I have rather solid case of Peyronie's Disease. This is something you don't want...if you get daily morning wood, you are far less likely to suffer from this. Just keep a close eye on your overall penis condition. Google it and see what you get. It is undetermined what the actual cause is, but what it amounts to is scar tissue on the inside of the penis itself. You need to understand penis anatomy a bit to get the drift, but the basic structure is like a layered cloth tube with fibers running lengthwise and fibers encircling the shaft, with the erectile tissue inside of it. Scar tissue on the fibrous layer will cause a curve in an erect penis if on one side or an hourglass shape if all around, and in any case interferes with penis function greatly and can be extremely painful. The difficult part is to manipulate the tissue enough to prevent this scarring without M.
Day 12 still going good, i think maybe i have a little more libido and had OK morning wood this morning , still not confident to have sex or anything, dont know when i will be able to tell when ill be good for sex so i just gonna wait like 60 days...
You are doing good @James24. The loss of libido could just be the Flatline hitting you. That is normal though it is scary! I also felt completely asexual in that phase. However your body will heal as long as you keep away from the PMO. The erections will come back! It is just a matter of time. So give yourself time. all the best!
day 15 now. no libido. nothing functions. dont even wanna watch P. dont see light at the end of tunnel. feeling bad and no self esteem. this like a spiritual journey god is putting me through, to better myself. however long it will take is on god's terms. i will accept whatever fate i have in store for me, because i believe it serves for a better purpose than what i can see for myself.
Be patient and strong, James, you're doing brilliantly and there's plenty of testimony to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep going friend.
Hey, in my opinion you should avoid every kind of sexual actions. Intercourse with different women, mutual masturbation in any way. Might sound a little bit terrific for you, but I think that stimulation at all is the main problem. You should try to avoid at least real-life sexual actions with a partner for maybe 2 weeks added to your actual journey just to see what you benefit from it. I think that you think too much about sexuality. Best regards ezmon
@James24 i am two weeks in now and feel exactly the same as u really. I think were underestimating whole time this prosses is going to take. My problems were caused over 10 years so i imagine its going to take many months to be any were near reset. 2 weeks is still a huge achievement bro good luck and stay strong
