So I went on a streak of about 50 days, the first 17 days were hard mode. Then normal mode cause I met my current girlfriend. When we had sex on day 17, it was the first time I ever had successful sex, and since then I had successful sex a few times a week with minimal erection issues. Some days were worse than others but I could have sex nonetheless. on day 50ish I relapsed and masturbated to porn. It was brief, only a few minutes, I orgasmed. Didn’t binge, and quickly got back on track after. however, after that short relapse, it seems my erectile quality is low again. I’m not getting hard again as easily with physical stimulation and I cannot keep it without touching it. today I had sex twice successfully. The third time I couldn’t hold my erection or orgasm. Is that PIED? Or is it normal for that to happen after multiple rounds? I’m really stressed about it. obviously I can still have sex because if I wait a day or two, I can get erect again with minimal effort and orgasm quite easily. Is this my pied returning from that one relapse or is it just a frequency issue? I haven’t masturbated or watched porn since the relapse which was a week ago, and have had sex since then successfully except today on the third round. If I continue to only have sex with my girlfriend and not watch porn or masturbate, will I continue to heal?
Yes, after you PMO'ed, you felt a little bit of PIED, that means that your body is inducing symptoms, after PMO'ing, which for you, is PIED. I suggest you only have sex once a month. You need to push to hard mode, if you're really trying to heal yourself.
I don’t believe this is true. I was having great sex, and had no problem getting erections with my girlfriend during my streak. If I’m functioning totally normally, why would I do hard mode?
