Hey everyone. Currently 12 days into my NoFap experience, found this forum just a couple of days ago, was shocked to see how many other people are suffering the same as me. Feels good to not feel alone. I kind of learned I had this problem about 4 years ago when I got my first real girlfriend. We often tried to have sex, but I had trouble maintaining an erection most of the time and we only had sex a few times over the year we were together. I just chalked it up to stress or anxiety or whatever and pushed it out of my mind. I kept masturbating. After she dumped me, that is when things got really bad. I ran into porn, away from my sadness, and it spiraled out of control. My viewing tastes ran wildly out of sync with my actual sexuality. I began watching gay porn, transgendered person porn, extremely violent porn, and so on and so forth. But it seemed so normal to me at the time. About a month ago, I got into another relationship. Predictably, I was unable to perform again and that is when I started doing research and stumbled upon PIED. I went to my doctor just to ensure there was nothing physically wrong with me, there isn't, so this was the obvious answer. I told my new girlfriend, she says she is supportive but has grown slightly distant. I am terrified every day that I will relapse if we break up, she has been my motivation thus far, but I try my best to be strong. I've enlisted a few close friends of mine to help me stay on track. So, yeah, kind of a long intro post, but its nice to let it all out there. I hope I find success, I hope you all find success, and I'm here to help if I can. Thanks!
I have a similar problem, Ive been maturbating and watching porn since i was 12 and I am 18 now and i can't keep an erection for sex. I am gonna try Nofap. I am gonna not watch porn or masturbate and see if it helps my PIED. I hope you have success conquering PIED aswell.
