Serious question and observation

Wow. This is pretty much what I have. Do you also feel emotional numbness and loss of sensation in your penis as well? Sorry for all the questions.

 

Oh yes. I got to the point where I would PM for hours looking for just the right thing to push me over the edge. It became a drudgery but I persisted. When I finally Oed it usually wasn’t very satisfying. It was getting to the point that my dick felt dead.

 

My advice is if it continues like that for a few more weeks and you succeed in doing more NoFap, then probably time to go to an urologist to get few tests. You may have delepted your testosterone levels.

Explain your history with P and M to urologists. Most urologists don't believe in NoFap so you may have to explain the NoFap and why your penis still look like that now.

It sounds like you basically have "fried" your penis by overloading it, hence "shrunken" penis.

I went to an urologist about my PIED and told him that I don't have any morning wood and he was surprised and said that's not normal. It's actually a warning sign when morning woods stop because it may mean a low testosterone level or other issues.

Let it heal. Let your brain heal from the dopamine overload.

If you are still concerned, just go to an urologist.

Good Luck!

 

That is a version of Pascal's wager : Infinite gains if I am right, only finite gains if I am wrong... I am not equipped to argue this point on moral or philosophical grounds... but I do know that porn, for me, is not what I need right now.

My point was, I don't think it is evil, per se, because I couldn't figure out a way to live with it harmoniously. Let's not let our own personal biases and stories cloud the reality here...

 

Have you managed to come off V now or you tapering down?

 

Im in the same boat. Dick no longer reactive. Let your fear guide you to break the habbit. Thats what im doing. I dont mind admitting im frightened.

Almost 2 weeks in for me and im still fighting no urges such was the extent to which i sexually exhausted myself.

 

I take 50 mg now and it’s adequate. I tried once several weeks ago without, and it didn’t go so well. I’m eager to get off the Rx because I don’t like the side effects and lack of spontaneity.

 

I was also told my issue was sexual exhaustion as well, and to reboot anyway. We seem to have a similar issue. We both need to reboot.

 

I guess this is relevant to this discussion here. Just today I woke up, for the first time that I can remember, with a partial erection. I wanted to M, but I remembered much of what I've read here and decided not to, and I went for a run instead. So, I guess for me the answer is that it took about 2 1/2 weeks for me to start feeling "normal" in that regard. I know this is just a start, and that if I'm getting these feelings naturally again, not PMOing will only get more difficult.

Everybody is different, as has already been mentioned, so it might take longer for others. Just hang in there!

Thank you for reading.

 

This has happened to me after rebooting for some time and I consider it to be perfectly normal. This phenomenon occurs due to what I think is the body's own protection mechanism, the purpose is to dissuade you from further masturbating and the signal is the shriveled penis and a low sex drive. You are overtaxing the body and it is telling you to let it rest for a while. The good news is that the normal flaccid does come back after some time but before it does you will need to reboot. Refrain from testing at all cost as it will affect the quality of the reboot, let it take its time. Every action we do will have a consequence, the time of recovery will be proportional to the degree of damage done to your body. Keep faith and patience, it's time to cultivate the health.

 

Excellent post

 

Makes sense biologically if you think about it. Shrunken penis isn’t good for sex because it has weak erections making penetration harder.

So it’s a signal from body saying stop. Heal it so it will be great for sex.
