    I am around almost five months here now and getting decent morning wood but not 100%.

    My question to those out there in this position in that past is how long when this started before PIED symptoms fell away and such. I believe most have said a good six months if addiction was not severe..

    I’m still waiting for my sex drive and bigger wiener to return. Feels flaccid most days and no libido. I’m hoping it gets better soon!

    Hello guys. I`m a beginner sex therapist and I wish that you won`t have any discomfort about what I say to you. But scientists have found out that testosterone grows after last sexual experience but only during a week. After 1 week its concentration in the blood becomes 145% and then its level decreasing. If you have no sexual practice AND don`t do special exercises like Kegel there will be no positive changes in your libido.
    So I recommend you don`t abandon your sexual life and do Kegels every day. You get great results after 2-3 weeks I promise.

    I am not a sex therapist or a scientist. But this doesn’t seem right to me. That sounds like a “use it or loose it” response. What about the people that practice semen retention and such?

    You know I understand from what most people have said that PIED is psychological but it does take time on nofap to resolve though. I had a great homeopathic massage yesterday morning afternoon and honestly that night I felt like a million bucks. My flaccid was crazy big with the good mood I was in and felt none of the withdrawal symptoms. There is anxiety still there and trying to resolve that right now with meditation and such.

    How many months in are you now ..?? I am about five and things are getting better but PIED is still a factor. Instrusive thoughts have stopped though.

    Yes, but people are dealing with Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction where the mind is wired to porn when there should be desire through the eyes to want to have sex. You can try to have sex but not be aroused because of porn use for a long time. I am currently kissing, cuddling with a girl to begin stimulation but does not happen all the time.

    It`s when you have knowledge but haven`t enough practice)

    Human body always tries to keep balance and hormone production/reduction is a part of this. Your body has natural lvl of hormones it could fluctuate (for many reasons) but your body always tries to return everything to the norm.
    So after your lvl of testosterone grow up to 145% your body slowly bring it to 100%.
    But (and it`s an important part) if you don`t have sex some psychological factors could "join the game" such as stress, depression etc. that decrease lvl of testo much more.
    And let me be clear I don`t want to say that all the people who don`t have sex is depressed but if you think about sex but don`t have it = you got stress and depression.
    But if you master of yoga or inspired artist or hard-working entrepreneur or someone else who is very busy and don`t think about sex at all you don`t have this problem.
    The last category of people include these gentlemen "What about the people that practice semen retention and such?" but only if they do "everything right".

    Porn addiction is another big problem and I understand that it`s very hard to fight this bad habit. But I think that you shouldn`t "lock your sex life in a box" during this fight. It`s hard but it`s necessary to try to build a normal sex relationship for the replacement of addiction.

    P/S Sorry if I`m "talking" too much, I just love this theme))

  10. Most people here do not have other way in the beginning of recovery, just staying away from triggers, M, orgasm, and fantasies. And that beginning can mean Year(s), before libido starts to return toward real humans. It is locking in a box our old life until it dies out from our brain enough to be able to have normal relationship again.

    Sure a relationship can speed up recovery in many cases, but that not simple. For heavy addicts even just sex can bring back withdrawal symptoms in the beginning of recovery.
    On my profile you can find link to stories.

    Other thing, i would not advertise yoga as a way to achieve any goodness, or to help prevent anything.
