    Hi guys, Thanks for coming by, I really need some help, maybe some words of advice if You have any or just a push in my back that it'll be fine the way i'll manage it (described below) Hope You can read through it, I wish You a great life, love You <3

    Im 20, Im healthy, fit, have a nice diet, exercise a lot, generally not in a bad place

    But I have some erection problems, I was examined by doc, physically Im fine, T levels 970 ng/dl, everything should be fine, so he sent me to psychiatrist, who told me that Im generally anxious and stressed and that may be the case - Im starting therapy in 2 weeks

    2 Weeks ago I tried having sex for the 1st time, did no thappen, I trust this girl a lot, she is extremaly supportive, I told her everything (therapy etc), We tried a couple of times more, I was able to penetrate but it quickly got soft or like semi, not as hard as it should, generally it wasnt good sex

    It goes like this:

    We start cuddling etc - I feel it's hard and good - we go further - I feel like a semi instead and either lose it quickly or it stays semi erection and gets weaker over time, when she gets me off its better tho

    Then we cuddle again and again feel bigger movement but I also get worried and anxious about it. Basically the only thing that pops into my mind is:


    "WILL IT BE HARD THIS TIME?"
    And after few trials and fails per night Im not even able to move it Im so nervous... We've had 3 nights together, 1st wasn't able to penetrate and the other 2 I was able but yea, semi erection or weakening quickly - slight progress, but its far from enough

    I've had some streaks longer/shorter since January this year (2 weeks/30days/75 the most) of no PMO and then eventually MO'ed by myself to thoughts (nothing related to P, about girls I know in really soft scenarios of kissing cuddling etc). When I was younger I used to do that almost everyday, usually 2-3 times a day, and stopped in January. I don't have urges, Im fine with abstaining, never came back to P and dont miss it at all, so i kinda feel like it's ok regarding that.

    I've started suplementing cytruline and before I used tadalafil (yea with his girl as well, did no help i guess), now i also got sildenafil (all those things recommended by doctors) and started Wim Hof's method to manage stress and my anxiety, which I wasn't really aware of.

    We won't see each other for 3 weaks or sth, I decided not to MO as well (its easy for me, im fine with abstaining) so when we try again I'll be like 20-30 days without MO (I know it's not long, but i've had some streaks before, so I belive it was kinda benefitial in some way) and year without P

    MY QUESTION IS:

    Do You guys think that I should keep trying to have sex with her and have as much closeness as posibble to REWIRE? Do You think that all those things combined together
    (rewiring/the fact that she is really close to me and I care about her and she cares about me/ my healthy lifestyle/ therapy/ meds/ the fact that I've been off porn for almost a year now)
    Are the way to go?

    IS IT A PATH TO A HEALTHY SEXUAL RELATION WITH A GIRL I LOVE?



    If You have some additional questions feel free to ask me, Im willing to do/say anything to make it work


    Thank You all for reading and replying and trying to help, Im kinda lost in my head and feel worried and sometimes hopeless... Love You guys

    I think with such questions should be addressed to a specialist. Maybe you have psychological problems.

    Thank You for replying robbiehecht,

    I'm starting a therapy on anxiety and stress related with relationships in January, I don't really know if I have or had PIED or just anxiety or both combined, maybe there are some people who can relate and maybe have some advice or just a simple "I've been there, it's possible to fix it all", who knows.

    Wish You all the best

    Yeah keep staying close and intimate. Stay away from P forever and abstain from M for as long of periods of time as possible. You will recover naturally as long as you stay away from P. Use the sex pills as necessary and then lower the dose over time until you don't need them anymore.

    I wrote several posts with my best advice, if you need strategies to avoid P.

    Stop mastubating. Only have sex with her when you both want to. If you can't get it up just please her in other ways, let her please you and call it a day. Don't masturbate... eventually your brain is going to heal and you are going to start to get aroused by real sex again. Every time you masturbate you are taking arousal out of your body, you are going to be a lot harder after 30..40 days of no O than after 1..2 days of the last O.

    Hey bro, thanks for sharing this, i'm going to be straight honest to you because i only want your good, be careful with psychiatry, the meds Psychiatrists use are heavy, can make you change a lot to the worse, rethink before taking anything they tell you to get, they usually put you on meds on ''disorders'' that are not even real, but this is just my opinion its up to your research, i would recommend something else outside of that.

    About the girl i think honestly i wouldn't be having sex with her yet, if you really like her then take her to dates and so on without having sex, sometimes you never know if the person you with only wants you because of sex and doesn't care about you in reality.

    Best of luck bro.

    Dont worry. This happened to me and I cured it with simple diet and some pc muscle exercise. You have weak pc muscle and weak blood circulation down there and that's all. You must have high blood pressure sometimes. If you really want to cure it then first stop worrying about it. Secondly, drinking plenty of fluids but dont drink alcohol too much. Thirdly do this exercise. Just sit on the edge of a chair and place your feet flat on the floor. Then push your testicles towards you body and release.
    And lastly massage your penis with olive oil. After a month or so you will have brick hard erections.

    Thanks for Your advice

    About the girl, we've known each other for almost a year, know a lot of things about each other and we've been talking and hanging out a lot on daily basis since I guess march, and she said that it doesn't matter for her if I fix my problem in 1 month or 2 years - "I want to be with You regardless", and I trust her and belive her, thanks for warning tho, Good luck in everything

    Hey, thanks for Your reply and advice, I have two questions:

    1. Is there any research on massaging penis with olive oil?
    2. During the exercise, does activation in butt cheeks suggest that I'm doing in correctly?

    Hey! I believe the problem is definitely your overthinking. What would be the first thing to pop in your mind if I tell you not to imagine a pink elephant? Most probably it is going to be a pink elephant. So the more you try to experience orgasm, the less you will actually achieve it. You should look up 'paradoxical intention' on Google.

    My advice would be to just have fun with this girl and not think much about sex. The more you get comfortable with her, the less you will overthink. Good luck!

    @ImDanny Thank you for sharing this story with us brother! I can imagine that you feel a lot of emotions related to this and it must be difficult to work through. I am proud of you for taking the initiative and addressing what's bothering you in your life.

    First I must say that I am not a Doctor. I do not know what is best for you mentally to physically and whether or not what you are experiencing is related to an underlying condition like anxiety. Listen to your doctors and explore different solutions while using your best judgment.

    That said, I have had a similar experience in the past to yours. When I had my first sexual experience I had a very difficult time reaching orgasm. I became really worried about this. Every time I would have sex I would think - "Will it happen this time? If I don't orgasm what should I do? What will she think of me?" I became obsessed.

    After some time I realized that this was a vicious cycle and that a few different things were playing a role. I was a generally anxious person at the time and watched porn. I cut back on my porn watching and began rebooting and overtime reduced the impact that had on me. I also saw a therapist for a few years that really helped me to discover who I am and relax.

    I found that once I was comfortable in my own skin I could be comfortable in bed. Instead of spending the time wondering if I would reach orgasm with a girl I spent my time enjoying the sex. This would be my advice to you. ENJOY YOURSELF. Even if you can't get it up. HAVE FUN. That's what life and sex are all about. it sounds like your SO is really understanding so make the most of that! If you can't get it up use your mouth or your hand. You don't need to use your dick to have sex! Maybe try some toys and get creative! You might just find that once you aren't focusing on your issue it not longer is an issue at all!

    It sounds like you are in a vicious cycle. You aren't getting hard so you are worrying about getting hard which doesn't make you hard. Ignore your dick and just indulge yourself with the one you love. It might just break the cycle and surprise you.

    Dear I don't have any scientific stuff to support my advice but it worked for me. Olive oil massage will help your blood veins in penis recuperate.

    Yes, that's right. If you feel tightening of asshile then you are doing it right.

    Bro, we are here to help each other. And, you need not worry. I had this issue and it depressed me for a longer period of time. Then I started massaging it and withing a month I got 10% improvement. But after when in started pc muscle exercise I started having boner in the morning and rock hard erections. Now, I fan go for hours.
    You can do it. Just believe yourself. And hang around with your gf.
    Try this, get baked and lie calmly down on your back and facing towards up. Ask you gf to touch your penis randomly for 5_10 seconds.

    Hi guys

    I'm 14 days in, I will be seeing my girlfriend tomorrow or in to days and...

    I ve just had a wet dream

    Will it affect my ability to get and keep an erection with her anyhow? I wanted to abstain before i see her and now I'm afraid that these 14 days won't make a difference in case of hardness of my erection...What does it even mean that it happened? I remember having some wet dreams but i was 60 days in then, not 14
