    I started watching porn since I was 14 years. As I got older it became more and more disgusting and hard to control i became addicted and developed Pied. I moved to another country where prostitution is legal and it got even worse. I tried nofap several times and failed. One final day I gathered my will power and started nofap seriously. Now I am in day 43 I have never been in a relationship and due to the lockdown I can't find one.
    My mind now is tricking me to go to a brothel once lockdown ends to check for Pied recovery. Which i won't be anytime soon and will let me cross 90 days.
    I am in my flatline, I had morning woods before but nothing now. But I notice my thing getting hard when I try to touch it, which used to never happen before.
    I am not sure if I am moving towards recovery from pied as that was my goal.
    The problem now is that I am no more trying to search for porn but I am searching for brothels i.e looking for ratings and stuff like that. I am slowly thinking of what I will do once I go to a brothel.
    I need advice if I am reversing my progress as I just want to find out if I am cured from pied.
    Sorry for the long post.

    Go to the brothel if you really want to, if its just your brain tricking you to relapse, dont. You will ruin your streak and lose a lot of money. If you go to the brothel you probably will be dissapointed or be so ashamed of yourself you wont go there again. To check if your PIED is cured just M a bit in the shower or something and when your D gets hard put the shower cold so you wont relapse.

    I think you're on the right track to recovery, every day away from porn is already progress in my opinion. I don't necessarily advice going to a brothel, but your mind is now looking for human connection since you mentioned you're not looking for porn anymore, or it might be because your mind keeps thinking that prostitution is legal there so it might be alright to test it there.

    I agree with the previous comment about jerking off a little, just without porn. You are aware that you are in your flat line so it's best if you do your best not to disturb that process by going to a brothel just to test if you can get hard, it's just not worth the risk and money.

    I have to add that if you already in and you did a streak of 56 days dont rush and wait till you make it 120 days at least to give nofap a real attempt.

    I would make my goal recovering from addiction to porn. And going to a prostitute would not be a healthy substitute.

    My advice to cure your PIED is that you find a purpose for your life that is greater than yourself, one that is of benefit to others, and then serve that purpose with your whole being.

    That may not seem to have anything to do with your inability to get an erection, but the reason you have that problem is due to the fact that you have been entirely focused on pleasing yourself. The PIED is just the physical manifestation.

    And please know that I'm not saying this to judge. I've had notions of going to massage parlors, strip clubs, and porn shops. And I will rationalize to myself why it isn't wrong, a problem, or that I need to prove something to myself. It is just the addiction getting desperate.

    So, instead, transcend the self. It will bring you to authentic joy instead momentary and depleting gratification.
