Weak daytime erections - strong nighttime

    Hello

    I started my no PMO very recently, my timer should be at 3 weeks.
    Though I have been browsing, but NoFap.

    I have a question regarding the quality of my erections.
    My daytime erections are very difficult to get, and they are weak. I need to touch myself (single), and open had low effect on me since 2 years.
    I used to fap 4h per day, edging for 4h and cum 1 time at the end.
    I had no envy for it anymore, I was just opening many tabs and getting it done slowly.

    I was not having erections at night when I was fapping this much.

    Since I stopped, after a few days I started getting night and morning woods.
    Now they are very strong.

    Problem: I don't get random daytime erections, or when I look at girls. (It only happened 2 times at work when I was thinking about sex).
    Also, when I fall asleep at work or wherever, I start getting an erection.
    At night I am getting strong erections.

    I need my erections when I am fully awake. Like, I can't ask a girl to let me sleep so we can have sex after.

    I am really afraid now.
    I am trying not to browse, it is difficult. But at least I don't touch or fap myself.

    Please can you tell me if this is normal and if it will come back daytime ?

    Thank you

    Nocturnal erections happen automaticaly during the dream phase of sleep, it is not linked in any way with arousal. Having it back surely means that everything is working nicely on the biological perspective.

    Daytime erections however usualy happen when you are aroused (although not always) and is more a result of a psychological condition than biological. I have read that some people can get daytime erection but no nocturnal one... or the opposite. It seems like they don't have much in commom.

    So my hard nocturnal erections (yet easy to lose when I wake up and move out of bed, I don't know if it normal that I lose them so easily) prove that I can get daytime erections that hard ?

    I only need to lay off, not touch it for 6 months or so and that's it ?

    I am not an expert in this but getting hard nocturnal erection might prove that from a biological perspective, nothing stops you from having hard daytime erections aswell, indeed.

    Now in order to get aroused by girls, dropping porn has done it for a lot of guys, I think you are on the right path for recovery :)

    I need to stop thinking about it and getting on my phone to browse pictures all the time.
    It does not trigger me erections, which frightens me since months.
    But it still makes me feel good to do it.

    And it is very difficult to do that get over it.

    Having a busy schedule is the best way for me, but past 9 I need to go out till midnight.I a new town where I have no friends still. Engaging get people is really difficult for me, it's like fighting the last boss while being still lvl 1 and naked.

    But then the constant thinking about sex is really frustrating, especially if it is slowering my recovery.

    But I really hope I will recover from those weak erections / numbness when seeing girls, talking or more (never happens so can't tell).

    Thank you @abernard

    So maybe you want too much... You need to have erection when having sex, not when you just have a look at girls. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt there are many men in they 30's who get random erections just from looking at dressed woman on the street. At least I don't get it and I don't remember if I ever could, maybe only in my teen years.

    And night erections shows that from physical standpoint you are fine.

    I hope you'll manage to get rid of your old habits ! I know from experience too that moving in a new town and not knowing anybody can be a difficult experience.

    I'm only 60 days into the challenge of not watching porn, but I can tell it is slowly shifting my habits to engage less witj artificial experiences and more with real people. If you commit to not watching porn I'm sure you'll make a lot of progress eventualy and get your confidence back !

    Thank you for your answers both of you.

    I have started the no PMO because I noticed my erections were getting weaker when I was fapping to porn.

    I needed more visual, I needed to touch myself and not only think about it on my way home etc.

    Based on this, so you think:
    I need to do the no PMO ?
    And that it will get my erections to how they wee 4 years ago ?

    I am hoping that a 6 month like a monk will so the trick... because I want to engage with women at some point...

    Thank you
