Morning wood explanation + Bonus ( PIED )

That is right

 

I don't know the science behind it but all I know is that since starting nofap my morning wood came back and it came back strong.

I was always of the impression that morning wood is hormonally driven but if that's the case then what hormones have changed as it's always stated that testosterone levels aren't effected bar the 7th day spike?

 

sadly iam still along way before that level

 

Some guy's don't get morning wood for a very simple reason, they wake up outside of the periods of sleep where you get erect. Nocturnal erectile function would need to be tested to confirm this, but it's more common than a lot of guy's think. I imagine guy's can go through periods of having regular morning wood, and no morning wood, all depending on current sleep patterns.

I know when I'm waking up to an alarm clock, and not on my own I most certainly never have an erection while I get used to that sleeping schedule. Give me a few days to get into a new sleep pattern, and I wake up before my alarm clock, and I will have morning wood a few times a week.

 

no spontaneous erection to girls i really like and find them extremely attractive and sexy

 

and will it work?

 

I'll chime in on my PIED experience. I've been doing NF for about 2.5 years though not always seriously committed. I had no MW at all when I first started. After a long flatline (65+ days) at about Day 70 of hard mode, I started getting MW a few times per week and some random erections during the day which had not happened in years. Now I get MW every single day non-fail and I've become sensitive to P-subs again (source of my current relapses). So it does get better but patience is required.

 

great

 

It happened slowly over a period of 2 years. There was not a single streak which got me there but I believe it was my dedication to hard mode which made the difference. P has been completely removed since I began. I still keep relapsing, but relapses happen only when I give in to MO, or to P-subs, which I find harder to give up than P itself.

 

I can't agree anymore with this thread. I've seen many people losing their morning wood because PIED.

I also believe isn't a need a girl to rewire because ITS NORMAL to have solo erections.

 

A non-addict hasn't trained his brain to expect pleasure from PMO. His brain is therefore quite sensitive to feeling extreme pleasure from non-PMO sources, like dating, and being with women, and probably other things as well like good food, music, and exercise, because these sources aren't competing with PMO, which is far stronger than anything except for maybe drugs. An addict can't get any pleasure from a normal encounter with women because it pales in comparison to what he gets from PMO. So yes, it's true that a non-addict can find it pleasurable when he's with women because his dopamine receptors aren't compromised. Once the dopamine receptors are compromised, it becomes hard to feel anything not just with sex, but other things as well like food, music, socializing, and exercise. It's similar to when people eat only fast food everyday so they end up hating vegetables because they taste like cardboard.

Having erections is not the same thing as being able to experience pleasure when being with another person or during sex. A person could have an erection but still not feel anything good during sex. The re-wiring is necessary to replace the old bad wiring of PMO addiction. When a habit is deeply ingrained, like in PMO or drug use, the habit can only be weakened, but not removed completely. The re-wiring is necessary so that any lingering triggers will support the new healthy habit, instead of the old one. Of course, if the person wasn't severely addicted, it's certainly possible the bad wiring maybe weak enough that no re-wiring will be necessary.

 

But the objective is to cure erectile dysfunction. I think if you still can't have an erection by your own you aren't fully rebooted.

 

i cannot have it on my own
not even while watching porn
only by touching
