    Hey guys, would appreciate any thoughts on the below.

    I'm on a good streak - my penis works fine even when I am PMOing but I only ever get erections when seeing a naked girl or watching porn. I never get spontaneous erections, morning wood, or nocturnal emissions.

    Spontaneous erections have come back in full force for me since I've been on this streak which is great - but not the morning wood, and I have not once had a wet dream in my entire life (except once on my last streak when I thought I was taking a piss in the dream). I've probably had morning wood 5 times in the past year.

    I know my dick works fine, that's not the issue.. But I remember reading something that said morning erections are one of the best indicators of a man's health. The fact that I pretty much never get them and the fact that I have only once had a nocturnal emission in my entire life has me concerned. Do you think this is something a streak will fix? Do you think it might be a sign of low testosterone?

    Thanks for any feedback or knowledge on this :)

    Supposedly nofap does help, but it takes a long time for those effects to appear. I'm 2 1/2 months in and I still don't have any morning wood ever. Nocturnal emissions I don't think there is a consensus on. Some say they are healthy, others say they should be avoided and prevented at all costs. I'm practicing semen retention and so I try to avoid them. I think you're golden, having only had a few in your entire life. How long is your current streak?

    Thanks very much for the response.
    Yeah just 1 wet dream in my entire life - I mean, I guess it's a good thing not having them because I like the idea of semen retention as well, but most guys talk as if they're an extremely common occurance for them so I'm a bit puzzled why I never get them.

    I'm on Day 16 today :) I've never gone longer than 3 weeks but I will this time. Hopefully we both start showing something in the mornings soon! I guess I am more than happy to not get the wet dreams but the lack of morning wood concerns me most as I'm still in my 20s and shouldn't be having this issue.

    I'm right there with you, dude. 27 and haven't had morning wood since I was 12. That ain't right. But we'll both get there!

    I’ve got clean and relapsed so many times I’ve lost count. I haven’t looked at any porn in almost a year, but I m’d and got into some triggering material a few months ago. I’ve noticed that when change comes good or bad it seems to happen quickly. I’ll be clean for a while and all the sudden PIED is fixed or morning wood starts. I’ve been clean for about 56 days and morning wood is in full force. I’d say sometime in the last couple of weeks is when it started. If you haven’t gone this long clean before I’d expect you to start experiencing it around 45-60 days but everyone is different. As for wet dreams I’ve had a few in the last year. Keep in mind that wet dreams and nocturnal emissions are different. I’ve woken up with some semen in my boxers before without any dreams, this is just the natural way the body gets rid of semen sometimes. A wet dream comes on the other hand when you’re mind has been filled with P or triggering material. I would say that morning wood is a sign of sexual health. I’m not 100% sure about wet dreams. I do experience them as I stay clean which I think is a sign of you’re abstinence, but I think they would eventually go away as you stop using triggering material to m and return to normal sexual habits that don’t require so much visual material to stimulate you. This has been my experience to say the least.

    Thanks for the response! Hopefully mine comes back in full force within the next couple of weeks.
    I do have sex dreams every now and then, but I never get to the point of releasing fluid. Those are the only times I wake up with an erection. If I don't have a sex dream I won't wake with an erection.
    When I did PMO, it was always right before bed (I never did it during the day).. So maybe it's still my body just adjusting. I'm glad to hear yours came back after 45+ days, I guess I'm going to have to keep patient.
    Cheers :)
