    Hello im 22 years old and 4 years on nofap fighting to kick porn addiction and its side effects which for me were many but i will insist on PIED. After 3 years of fighting i managed to reverse PIED and its low sex drive symptom like 95% i would say.
    Of course im not a doctor and i will try my best to help you reverse those symptoms as best as i can based on my and yours experience in a polite way.

    Just know that you are not alone and every situation is reversable as i was a virgin years before my porn addiction and pied. In fact i started PMO like 10 years old. Before that i was a prone masturbator as long as i can remember my self (i think i started it 5-6 years old) watching some magazine nudity (pictures of hotlines).

    That belongs even though i still see improvement on my sexual life and my psychology. I wouldnt consider myself that i have kick this addiction for good ( who can?) but im sure that i won most of the fight (like 80-90 i'd say but this is just a theory only for those who need number in order to understand me). Still got that guard up.

    Im just letting this here for everyone to know that i will gladly help everyone as best as i can to fight PIED and it's symptoms. Make sure to follow me and ask me anything anytime, im logging daily just to answer to posts. I will give back to people as people gave to me when i needed.
    HOW TO REBOOT AND CURE PIED FASTER
    Losing an erection during sex can be induced by many factors as well as porn (performance anxiety, anxiety, tiredness, exhaustion is some of them- thought there are many medical too.).I had this problem and i was sure that porn has to do sth with it and i was right. I was finding porn more exciting than real sex (of course it is cause of its potential to raise dopamine faster and higher than sex) and felt no sexual attraction to girls even though i found girls pretty and hot i couldnt feel my libido towards them like i did to porn ( i think i had nonexistant libido for real life girls actually).

    If you have symptoms like these below please mention:
    -Low libido
    -PIED
    -No or low desire to have sex
    -Unattracted towards real life women
    -Loss of morning wood.

    Those symptoms are a good indication that something goes wrong. To tell that you have PIED needs many tries in order to be sure about it ( i knew cause i was failing constantly without anxiety, exhaustion etc-just pure failure).

    Of course nofap will cure you if you have PIED like it cured me. I suggest trying to cure addiction instead of symptoms. Below you find my suggestion to cure PIED faster (Im not a doctor and anything of the ideas below should be practice under your responsibility).

    -No porn- THIS IS A DUH MOMENT (cut orgasms too even with gf for faster results, as i found my reboot slowed down by them. So anything near 45-90 days will improve your erection enough to have sex but it can take more to fully cure. I still see improvements after 1 year nofap but easymode.

    Exercise: Anything that can make your heart pump fast is nice. Specifically i suggest running, lifting weights, calisthenics. Squats and leg exercises can do wonders in your erection training your pelvic floor and increasing testosterone. More details below.

    Meditation: Not only it calms your brain from some symptoms like headaches brain fog and urges but it can also help your body relax too. Deep breaths can relax your pelvic floor too as pmo abuse can make your pelvic floor too tight that you are unable or you will find it hard too maintain an erection. It can also make you last longer (relaxing pelvic floor.) More details about pelvic floor below.

    Getting a hobby: This is a major point that ofter gets dismissed. It can calm your mind, increase brain plasticity and build yourself discipline. Plus its fun! I practice guitar, wing chun and i workout.

    Kegels: Erection gets maintained by arousing psychologically and physiolocally. This means in order to have and maintain a proper erection to have sex you need to be aroused both in mind and body. Meditation can train your brain to be in the moment and be aroused psychologically. Now kegels help with your bodily function. In order to maintain an erection you need a strong and relaxed pelvic floor. This can happen with kegels ( There are tons of information online for tips on how to do them- i can offer my routine if some wants to.) and get you satisfying results like : Improved erections, better erection angle shifting your penis upwards, last longer ,improved sensation and better orgasms as well. I do them 3 weeks and i noticed all of the above so its not just a theory for me. ALSO search for reverse kegels and do as many as normal kegels. I can give more information if somebody wants.

    Nutrition: Stick to healthy fats and see your libido skyrocket. Also take your vitamins naturally. I found multivitamin affect me decreasing my libido as well as gym supplements (whey protein, creatine.) but maybe its just me so give them a try (multivitamins)


    There isnt a medical way to cure PIED yet (pill or sth to do it) and i find those as the quickest way to cure this.
    Hope we all cure from this and raise awareness to people about negative side of porn!
    Good luck!

    Good luck!

    I am early in my journey.
    The problem happen while having sex with the partner, it loses the erection.
    I used to lose erection, even while getting a BJ or starting an intercourse.

    Do you think this might be PMO based PIED? Any advice or other practice that helps retain erection and help last long during sex?

    @L1ster It can be a sign but you shouldnt worry if you dont have more of the symptoms i mentioned. I consider myself cured from pied like 90-95% as i said and i dont always get morning wood. In fact i do get morning wood sometimes. Rebooting and hardmode definitely helps with morning wood.

    @L1ster sorry to hear this. I think no libido towards women is sth i meant but anyway you cant be really sure until you try to have sex. Of course rebooting will help you. I try to see porn addiction as a gift that will transform me. Nofap can help with the symptoms but a fulfilling life will end addiction for good!

    Thank you for sharing. I have a similar experience. I am 23 and started watching internet pornography at 11, by 13/14 it was a regular occurrence at usually twice to three times a day on average. I have maintained this (with a couple brief half-committed, unsuccessful, short-lasted reboots) since habit then and believe that the experience of PMO has hijacked my sexuality. I am a mentally and physically healthy man.

    About 2 months ago I spent the night with my girlfriend (now ex), we were having some problems. In a nut shell she is an international student studying in my home town and she intends to go back to her country after completing her degree, 2020-2021 being her final year of study. The chemistry was great and very loving between us and we had healthy boundaries and genuinely loved each other. She is also gorgeous. However, on that night we attempted twice to have sex and after about a minute of penetration, during which I was barely stimulated, I went flaccid and stopped the act ashamed at my inability to function as a man for this woman I loved. We have had great sex in the past, but this wasn't happening leading up to and obviously including the night.
    I have heard her say that she believed that I was not attracted to her as the reason for the ED and I was too ashamed to tell her that it is because I am addicted to pornography and have been for over a decade. Humiliated and disappointed with myself I turned to her in bed and said that the reason for my impotence was caused from worrying about the inevitable end to the relationship that will come when she returns to her country. There may have been some truth to this, however the sex was good on occasions when this was already in my mind, I am more inclined to believe that I have PIED.

    This was a huge wake-up call, I am no longer going to cave into an addiction that is causing me to not be able to perform as a man for beautiful women who desire me. It is now day 4 of my hard mode 90 day reboot. Paired with this I also intend to quit smoking (on day 10 right now) and get into the best physical shape of my life. So far it is going well but this is obviously early days so I have turned to this forum like many of you for solidarity and to offer my 2 pence to the battle we all face. Every generation faces its unique challenges and it appears that the one facing late millennials and Generation Z is the information age itself and its invasive technologies robbing us from intimacy with other people, whether that be romantic, plutonic or familial.

    God bless you all for the strength and initiative you have to even be here and remember that all is never lost if you don't give up.

    Many thanks,
    Izaak

    All good tips but honestly the one I've found to have an exponentially greater effect on rebooting is to quit or cut out as much technology as you possibly can, even after a few days you will feel a change. I've done enough hard mode streaks by now to know when things start to happen(good or bad) but when I quit technology everything happened much sooner. I don't really advise this method if you don't have other fulfilling things to spend your time on though, also in my experience porn cravings were much higher - my theory being that when you're on the internet you're feeding your brain just enough dopamine to dampen those urges.

    @OhWhenThe Wow i missed on that! You are totally right, i felt those benefits after quitting any technology or just limit it for educational reasons. This is crucial guys! Thanks for the tip dude!

    I am currently 22 years old and have the same PIED as you, now I have been nofap for almost 30 days in hard mode. I still do not understand when I will be able to have sex to see my PIED progress. Do you have any suggestions?

    You will know that you cured PIED the same way that you learned that you have PIED and this only way is through sex.
    As i mentioned there are some symptoms that can make you be suspicious about PIED. That means if you find yourself cured (having PIED symptoms reversed) from symptoms you can claim that you are healed. Of course there are chances that you arent ready yet. Some of the things that you can consider are:
    -High libido
    -Strong urges for sex and only sex
    -Morning erections
    -Getting socialised
    -No brain fog
    -Had a flatline 2 or more months before

    You can engage sex if you feel ready but noone can tell if you have PIED or healed PIED unless you try sex (its kinda obvious). But you should try sex for than one time to really say that you are healed because first times can be affected from previous trauma and performance anxiety. Thats why i recommend the first 5-10 times of sex to get a ED pill.
    Self-confidence is a crucial factor when talking about erection quality!

    You will feel it when you are ready just take a good time off of any stimulation and orgasm!
    Good luck!

    Thank you very much for the advice, in order to recover from PIED, do you have to avoid social media? because I still access Instagram, etc, it just can reduce it a little.

    Yeah i never had instagram but i highly suggest to delete it and never go back to it. (even after many days off porn i find myself triggered by those models-who doesnt?). I use facebook but i avoid loggin in as there is explicit material even there, so i use messenger lite version on my android phone that doesnt support any features that can possible lead me to a relapse. I know getting out of social media can be frustrating at first but you get used to it. Actually it has many other benefits too including more productivity, piece of mind. Its has also be found that people who use social media tend to be more depressive. I avoid social media and i found that it had only benefitted me! Great streaks!

    Do what works for you, as we are all different. If you find yourself triggered delete them.
