Do PIED sufferers still pursue real women?

I don't because I have no libido, I can get an erection so so I don't have ED buts what's the point in pursuing women when you have no interest in sex?

 

Have you had your testosterone checked?

 

Yeah I was pretty obsessed about it for a while, it's at 550 last time, avg for my age is 620ish so not that far off, I also have alot of muscle so I'm pretty sure test levels are okay

 

Yeah, it's in the "normal range", but that range is rather subjective. Normal is heavily dependent on the guy, some guys feel find at 550, some guys need to be way higher. Not telling you to look into again, not a doctor of course, but all the pros in TRT treat the symptoms not the numbers.

 

I've also taken anti estrogen tablets which boost your test by 40%, they didn't make any difference, my test levels are pretty much fine I'd say, I don't feel fatigued or depressed and make great gains in the gym, they were around 450 and then I had lots of symptoms but since I'd got them to 550 low sex drive is the only other symptom, which makes sense since my porn use escalated over the years in content that didn't match my sexual orientation

 

For me, pursuing women usually helped the PIED. It rewires your brain and dick! The first couple of interactions I definitely had PIED, but after awhile along with NoFap my boner slowly started to return.

 

On calm the hell down, Hypogonadism is far more prevalent than people realize. It was merely a suggestion, and Testosterone plays a huge role in being the precursor hormone to Nitric Oxide production, can't get an erection without that. Good for you, glad your Test levels were fine, just means your feed back loop system for Test production is working fine, can't extend your results to everyone else.

 

Hmm, gotta be careful with anti estrogen stuff. If it gets too low can have a lot of symptoms similar to low testosterone, best to keep it in the normal range.

 

I know, Ive got it too low numerous times, when my joints start to hurt I know it's too low, I don't take them anymore

 

I never chased women and I don't chase them now. PIED ruined my confidence and made me look at women from miles.

I just think unintentionally that even if everything goes well beyond expectations and the woman I approach just wants to grab me and throw me in her bed, I will be disarmed and harmless. Aaand she will die inside. Feels like a fighter jet patroling the skies without missiles. Feels like a submarine navigating in enemy waters without torpedos...

 

I have struggled with PIED for a while, but I kept having sexual intercourse because it's the best way to rewire your brain with reality. "Fails" will happen, and you gotta be ready for that. Don't be too hard on yourself, just keep walking the path and don't give up on living, don't give away to fear.

 

I was GREATLY impaired by PIED (I am going to write a sort of diary later today). But I never gave up on women... because I was **DEAD** down there but my mind still loved looking at them and my mind got excited (in an odd, sex-less way) imagining them undressed and so on.
Now, don't ask me how this is possible - I am not a doctor - but indeed it's plenty possible.

 

I have delayed ejaculation.
I used to have sex with women.
It just meant that I would finish myself off.
I knew it was super awkward.
It always led to a break up.
I'm now trying to heal myself.
