    Hello my name is Wessam I have been using porn for 22 years however my porn addiction was a problem and began to consume me by age 16 and I decided to quit porn by age 21 I have PIED and I was wondering when is it expected to see improvement in my erection and when do I completely recover and is it true that quieting porn reduces testosterone.

    What is your current streak? And before your current streak how many daily pmo sessions where you having? These things come into play when fixing PIED. This time around mine was cured within 10 days. But I have been on and off nofap since early 2017. I’ve had many relapses but my porn use has been less and less over the last three years. However before my current streak I was doing a minimum of 2 pmo sessions per day and sometimes going up to 6 Pmo sessions per day. it all depends on the level of damage you’ve done to your penis. Luckily with enough time it will heal and you’ll have hard and firm erections again.
    During my first reboot in 2017 it took about 30-40 days to get consistent firm erections back, however I did start to see morning erections after about 7 days.
    It’s different for everyone but depending on how many sessions you were doing and over what duration we can probably offer some kind of estimate on getting those erections back. And don’t forget to hydrate, proper hydration always helps! Good luck brother!

    my current streak is three days and I just woke up with a morning wood today usually I don’t and back in the day it I watched porn once a day and some times 5 times depending on my mood but most of the Time it was between 1 to 3 times a day. I have a question does quitting porn increase testosterone

  4. Morning wood sounds like a great sign to me. PMO and especially heavy edging results in severe PIED in my case. Last year I had 70 days streak and then my d *** worked properly.

    I don't know if it causes higher testosterone levels but I don't see any benefits in porn...

    First off congratulations on completing three days. The first week is always the hardest. Morning erections are a great sign also!
    As for whether or not quitting porn can increase testosterone, I would imagine the answer is no. Quitting porn on its own and not changing anything else in your lifestyle probably won’t increase your testosterone. That being said; a healthy clean diet, good hydration and getting on a workout schedule will definitely lead to increased testosterone. Try to cut out junk foods and excessive sugar, get outside and get some sun. Decrease stress and get more SLEEP!
    I have also read a study that was conducted years ago about participants who abstained from orgasm and had their testosterone levels evaluated, there was a spike of 140% on days 7-8 then a gradual decline after that initial spike. If you Google “7 day testosterone spike”you’ll probably find the article.
    Either way staying off porn will only provide benefits.
