    I’m 18 and I see many people having major problems with pied. I don’t really have that problem I can get a boner and maintain it even on my adhd meds which sometimes make it weaker.I never had any fetishes with porn I was always into plain stuff.
    My boners are less spontaneous and it’s harder to get a boner purely off imagination than when I was younger but when I do my boners a strong.I’m wondering If continue masterbating to my imagination and quit porn all together will I get more boners from imagination and will they be more spontaneous. I haven’t watched porn in a week and a bit and honestly I do have slight cravings but I can resist and use imagination. Is this enough?

    Hi, our Counselor discussed masterbating safe/unsafe etc. She stated masterbation was a normal part of life and if we're realistic - to be expected at some point. But the important point here, it that it's safe and healthy.
    She discussed healthy masterbation was something my partner would have learn about during his recovery as part of 'safe sexual behaviour' (as opposed to masterbation to P which is unhealthy).
    Masterbation itself if not the issue, although it alone can be addictive - the issue is the use of P (as you already know)

    So the question here may be can you successfully achieve a Recovery programme and practice healthy masterbation? (If this is something you're comfortable with)
    If this activity leads to P use, which is common - you may wish to reevaluate your recovery strategy.
    Overall, as desensitization subsides, healthy masterbation (as it were) should improve. Although it may be worth considering what you're imagining, ie fetish etc - as this may lead to negative consequences and unhealthy associations etc. But you said 'plain stuff', so I'll leave that up to your discretion.

    I hope this helps in some way, I'm not sure 'what' my partner would have learnt later in the recovery process regarding this topic - but it's worth looking into and I wish you all the best!
    S&L :)

    Ahh interesting I already seeing improvements. No problems so far.Kind of enjoying doing it without porn. I’m not fantasising about fetishes only about banging girls I personally know.Honestly fetish shit makes me sick. But will I become more sensitised to naked women again and will it be easier to get a boner off imagination and stuff? If I continue what I’m doing which is quitting porn.
