Is HARD MODE necessary to cure pied?

    I’m a 25 year old man who began daily pmo at a very younge age. I have always had pied when trying to have sex with a real girl so I decided to start a reboot. during my reboot I met a girl, 17 days into my reboot I had sex for the first time without any troubles with erections

    since then, for almost a couple months now, we have been having regular sex (a few times per week) with minimal rrection issues. Although I do notice drops in my libido after having several orgasms in a row and need a day or two to recoup, but other than that, I have been functioning fine in the bedroom mostly.

    if I continue on this path of staying away from porn and masturbating, while re wiring with my girlfriend, will this help me to fully cure my PIED or is the sex and orgasms setting me back more?

  2. Same boat! I'm doing soft mode reboot too, and it is common to go in and out of flatline after sex. It may take longer to completely heal from PIED, but for me personally I'd rather take a bit longer and get laid on the way rather than struggle with urges on hard mode! Your choice though...

    It does set you back. My partner & I are doing soft mode & at day 178 theres still issues. More to do with being aroused by me. But then everyone is different.

    You are on track. Yes it’s slower but it still works. Have faith my friend. All will be stiff.

  5. Hard mode is the fastest route, but I think that you've already answered your question. Keep on with no-PM, and you will continue to heal. You're one of the lucky ones.

    I think as well that as long as I stay away from porn and masturbation and continue to orgasm with my girlfriend, my brain will slowly start to adjust more and more and continue healing. It’s just that my girlfriend has a very high sex drive so I’m wondering how all the sex might be affecting my recovery. Obviously it is very good for the rewiring aspect of it, but I’m wondering if all the orgasms are setting me back as I’m starting to find myself not getting hard as easily again, however I’m wondering if this really even has to do with pied or more to do with being satisfied from sex

    how long into your reboot are you? And have you noticed improvements in your PIED?

  8. Day 55 today! In and out of flatline.

    During my 74 day streak last year I noticed improvements.

    Feel totally flatlined today. Had sex 6 times over the weekend which is the most amount of sex I’ve ever been able to have successfully in such a short time frame. One of the times being back to back rounds with my girl.
    However now today, after the weekend, I feel totally flatlined and my dick feels dead. I was getting erect so easily with my girl but now I don’t even think I can. Maybe just need a few days to recoup?

  10. I think so! You might need to figure out ways to satisfy your girl before you have sex with her.
    You can give her a hand job or oral sex, use a sex toy on her, anything that gives her multiple orgasms before you go ahead and satisfy yourself. Ask her how she likes it (if you haven't already), and do that for her.
    It will let you satisfy her without overwhelming you!

    Good effort. Flatlining can be difficult part of the recovery. However, it is normal and will get better. I am on day 49 and we did it twice on the weekend and I was ready when she initiated it last night. Earlier on in my recovery there were weeks when I could only manage once a week. Definitely a good improvement and I can see things only getting better.

    Keep patient and you will get there.

    I literally have absolutely zero interest in sex at all since the weekend. Complete dead dick. It seems all the orgasms this weekend through me into a flatline. This is my first real flatline since cutting out porn and masturbation a couple months ago. Do you think this will pass or should I not be having so much sex? I figured the sex was good for re wiring as long as I’m not using porn or masturbating
     
  13. Every person has a limit to the amount of sex they can have in a specific time period, and it's different for everyone.

    My guess is that for you, six times in a weekend is far too much! Yes, it will pass.

    As I already posted, find a way to pleasure your girl to full satisfaction before you pleasure yourself. That way, you'll end satisfied but not overwhelmed.
