Is no morning wood a bad sign?

    I'm trying to get my life back together and I'm doing no PMO since I'm getting married in 3 months and I'm a bit worried.

    A bit sad it took me this long to turn the ship around but I want to be able to please my wife and say goodbye to porn forever.

    Just over a week ago, I noticed my morning wood is nonexistent and maybe there were about 2 times I noticed it but it was only half erect.

    Is this due to my porn use and will it improve overtime when I keep doing my no PMO lifestyle?

    Encouragement is highly appreciated. Thanks

    At the start of my journey I faced the same problem and I thought the same thing as you do now. It took me a while but the morning wood came back and even stated accuring more as time went on. Don’t let your brain fool you my friend. It’s looking for a dopamine shot, that’s the reason you get thoughts like that. Stay strong and your body will award you!

    Big changes my friend, you’ll get there, I do think keeping a journal is useful, I just read back through mine, it was very enlightening to see what I had actually forgotten that at the time seemed so all consuming.

    I have above average testosterone levels, almost always notice a strong erection overnight which is a good sign. But I take no drugs, am on a very healthy diet with a lot of quality herbs like organic garlic, wisconsin ginseng, avena sativa, tribulus and herbal teas. I'm around 60. Blood sugar issues and pre-diabetic conditions are also problematic for reproductive health.

    Men should not be ejaculating as they get older numerous times a week; the body requires a lot of time to rebuild something as taxing as losing all your seed. Previous generations knew this, how is it that people try to inflame the passions as if sex every day or multiple times a day were a God given right?

    The penis and reproductive organs are just additional muscles in your system with some additional aspects. Also various common drugs like Tylenol, ED pills, which just pander to basest desires weaken the system and have bad side effects, do your own research online.

    Thank you brother. I hope with the 80+ days I have left before the wedding, that my member down there will be back to full strength. Is this timeframe a bit tight or is it more than enough if I stick to it?

    I'm not even sure if I have venous leaks due to excessive use or what? Or if I damaged my penis..

    Thank you man. You think my ED is more of a mental thing at the moment?

    Thanks man. I'll stay strong and resist the urges. Is morning wood supposed to occur everyday on a "normal" dude?

    Pretty sure it’s a mental thing. My last relationship I had difficulty, severe performance anxiety it just didn’t work at all, I went to the doctors and asked for blood test etc to make sure there was nothing medically wrong.

    She recommended trying viagra which I did, it got me over the initial problem, then after about 4 times with that I was able to perform without. I’ll be honest, I still had delayed ejaculation, and did need to think of porn to ‘finish’.

    By all means get yourself to the doctors, ask check everything, it’ll confirm or deny for you if there is a medical problem or not

    You could try natural alternatives to the ed drugs which I don't believe in. Makes the cells blow up like a blowfish with side effects. A paleo diet with lots of greens and lean meats should help.

    Hi, man, completely not a bad sign. I have days without morning wood and day with morning wood. It's completely normal.
