    Hello!My first post here!i am 21 years old and i have some erectile dysfuction problems the past 2-3 years.First of all i have 0 morning wood,maybe some softs from time to time.I went to a doctor and he said that i must do some hormones tests.They were fine so he said that my problem is probably psychological because i dont have any other conditions like diabetes,high blood plessure or something else.The only condition that we left without testing is about a venous leak or something.The truth is that i see a lot of porn so i found out about nofap and i said lets give it a try.I am now at 10days strike and yesterday night i had a wet dream for the first time ever!Is that a good sign?I really want to believe that i have nothing like venous leak and all is about porn.Any thoughts about my condition will be really helpfull!Sorry for my english mistakes i hope you understand :)

    Sounds like a classic case of PIED to me. Quit porn forever FOR GOOD! The problem is psychological and physical in your brain hence it wont show in hormones and blood tests.
    After 60-90 Days try to put yourself in a situation with a real partner in order to let your brain heal and rewire to the real thing.
    Wet dreams are very fine and natural since your body recognized it's time to refresh the semen. Many say it's a sign that your brain heals itself but i'm not sure about that.
    I guess it's not good or bad.. It's just supposed to happen :)

    Thank you a lot for the answer!I have a girl right now and we had sex once.I took tadalafil to perform but again i was really soft.I hope that i will revive soon so don't lose the opportunity with her.Can the no morning wood be a sign of PIED?

    It's funny cause i also used tadalafil when i was extremely afraid to mess up and embarrass myself so i took them "just in case" for confidence boost. But again, The problem is in the brain. PIED usually comes with performance anxieties because you cant stop thinking about how the fk your'e supposed to perform with PIED. Your'e too young to use these pills and there's no need. Also i kept getting headaches while i was on tadalafil so i stopped taking them. I think you should stop as well in order to not let yourself be dependent on pills.
    The first time i stopped taking it, I actually performed very well, I was extremely surprised and happy and i realized it was just the anxiety. Just throw yourself and be brave.
    Consider sharing your PIED and porn addiction to your partner. It might release A LOT of pressure and eventually you'll feel more relaxed and comfortable with your girl and perform much much better!
    The No morning wood might be from PIED, But i think it mostly happens due to flatline. And from Porn addiction of course.
    good luck!

    Regarding morning wood, even a man who is psychologically and physiologically healthy shouldn’t expect to have morning wood EVERY morning. It’s going to vary naturally whether or not you wake up with wood. I think a lot of men get anxious about the absence of morning wood. Here’s the thing: Are you absolutely certain that you don’t ever get morning wood? Perhaps there’s a chance you DO, but it goes away before you’re fully conscious?

    If challenges with erections have not always existed it is most likely PIED. Just stay the course and eradicate PMO and things will return to normal.

    If you were using porn frequently abstaining should definitely solve your case. Depending on the severity of your case (for how long and how frequently you PMOd) it should take from 60 to 90 days, maybe more if we are talking serious shit. So take it easy, no rush. If you feel confident share the situation with your partner, this will ease things a lot since she is probably blaming herself for not being able to arouse you, and build more intimacy in the relationship. I wouldn't advice taking pills, I ain't no doctor but it could make your dick too reliant on them and from what I've heard they aren't working marvels either. Just take your time to heal, going Hard Mode will make the process faster but I understand you havr a partner so it might not be an option. Consider other alternatives in bed that don't involve your penis. And that's pretty much it, NoFap is the way to go my friend!

    Thank you very much for the answers!Its really hard to talk about this with her because we dont have that level of trust yet..I will never take tadalafil again i had a headache too then.I will stick to nofap and see how is going.The problem is that i think about this 24/7.Every time i have an erotic thought and my penis starts to fill up with blood i am noticing that its going down The truth is that i am just average or a little more than average and i have some pearly penile papules as well.Unfortunately all this stuff together makes me really anxious .I still believe that i maybe have a venous leak because sometimes i lose erection when i am moving and laying down position is almost impossible!

    Get that checked if you think it's the way to go. I'd advise you to stick with nofap either way if your porn consumption is getting compulsive and you feel your fantasies are getting out of control. It might seem imposible at first, you will probable relapse a few times, but it's all a part of the process of healing.

    Believe me, I just made 40 days and then relapsed, partly due to external things, but I was curious whether or not it would work, with porn it did, normal stuff that I used to find interesting, solo women etc, but quickly it came to daily then starting to look for alternative themes, and I fell down the rabbit hole for about 2 weeks.

    I’d managed to go from starting to get normal sensations morning wood etc back to very limited activity.

    I did have a really nice intimate time with a girl on holiday and it just didn’t work, which was embarrassing but, I think I would’ve rather not returned to PMO and seen how it worked, I reckon I’d have had more chance of success if I hadn’t returned to PMO in the run up to my holiday.

    it wasn’t as bad as I thought tbh, not getting hard I mean, admittedly we were both drunk, but she stay the night in my bed and we spend a few days together just hanging out. I would say take the gamble, it’ll be better to avoid PMO and see how it works with a partner than ‘test’ it. PMO test is nothing like the real thing. Causes more problems I reckon

    I think, you also have a misconception about real life sex aswell. Porn is no good teacher. Sex is about love and passion not about perfect performance every time. You are probably in a lot of stress right now, because you want to satisfy your gf but you don't get hard. So my advice for you is, to take it slowly with her. She probably had noticed that you were nervous and your dick was soft. But she is still with you. So she accepts you with your problems. Sex is always something that you and your partner need to figure out by yourself. Especially if you are inexperienced.

    I myself had a time in my life where I didn't get morning woods and porn didn't make me hard. That was a time where I tried to fuck a girl and didn't get hard. We tried all night long without success.
    But it comes again, trust me. You just ruined your brain over such a long timespan, that you need time to recover. It may take months.

    Most importantly: Don't stress yourself about it. I know how hard it is for you right now. The best would be, if you would tell your gf what is happening. Then she will tell you if she will stay with you and you try together or that she will leave.
    If you don't tell her, you will stress yourself every evening with her, then the stress will hinder you on getting hard and you won't recover. If you tell her everything, at least the stress goes away and you have better chances.

  15. like @Nadav_co say's,you should quit porn for good to heal your self.
    also i think that taking drugs to perform is a bad idea, just be patient, and you will be fine.

    Long ago I used to get morning wood regularly, but it just sort of stopped happening around 10 years ago (I was prob 25ish) I was in a rubbish long term relationship, just not compatible, and I was using porn fairly regularly, and had been from a young age.

    I never really linked porn and that together at the time, but as I went through the whole divorce and separation process, I just realised I needed to sort my life out. But yeah I was starting to notice big improvements in this area as my 40 day streak continued.

    Don't worry about no morning woods, I've read many posts taking about similar experiences, it doesn't necesarily mean it's something physical. They usually come back after 30+ days. Also be careful because as the days go by your brain might start playing tricks on you to get you to masturbate, some people who experience PIED might start thinking their dick stoped working so they better check it, they might as well put some porn and see what happens and before you realize it you relapsed, so keep that in check. Your penis will be ok just give it some time to recover.

    Taking drugs to perform can give him confidence though. It might help him, if he can "perform" with drugs. So he might have his drugs in his drawer and that gives him the safety that he "could" take them out and use them, if he is not able to do it without them. So basically he could keep them for "emotional support". ^^
