I'm dissapointed. 7 months and PIED not cured

I'm 28. I started watching porn at the age of 12. I watched really hardcore stuff, almost everyday with long sessions and lots of edging. I started NoFap at the beginning of 2018 with average streaks about 15-20 days, sometimes longer, but not more than a month. I just reached 7 months porn and masturbation free. During this time I only let my girlfriend give me a handjob, but I was completely porn and masturbation free. During handjobs I'm generally hard, but when I attempt to penetrate or put a condom on my dick goes down so fast.

Today I did a test and masturbated for the first time in 7 months. I made myself hard, but when I stopped stroking my dick started to go down really fast. In just a few seconds I lost 50% of erection. I also noticed that I'm really hard only when close to climax.

I noticed a lot of improvements in those 7 months:

- rock hard morning woods,
- starting getting erection just by kissing or making out (not strong just about 50%, but before NoFap my dick was completely flat while kissing or making out...)
- more energy and motivation
- enjoying life

But after doing today's test I'm starting to wonder if it's really PIED? Or maybe sth else? I did a blood test a few months ago and everything was ok, testosterone was really high, prolactin was low. It shouldn't be an organic problem as I have morning woods and they are strong.

Performance anxiety? Not with my hand, so why does my erection go down so fast when I stop stroking? Why am I not able to put a condom on without losing erection?

After this I got really disappointed and I'm not really sure if PIED is my problem... I thought that after 7 months of NoFap I should be cured and have normal erections.

Could you please help me? I'm so disappointed.

 

Bro but I can have performance anxiety with my hand. My dick goes down while masturbatin too...

 

But during masturbation my erection was only hard while close to climax and when I stopped stroking my dick goes down in a seconds...

 

Yes you can be right maybe I was stressing too much about get hard in the test

 

I think 7 months is enough time...

 

I don't agree. Absence is just 50% of the process. Second 50% is rewire to real partner and real sex to teach your brain how real intimacy looks.

 

I would like to update my story. Like I posted before, I reached 7 months porn and masturbation free and my PIED is still not cured. So I decided to try blue pills. I have tried blue pills only once before. It was 1,5 year ago when I was still watching porn, I took 25 mg of Sildenafil and it didn't work, absolutely zero results...

Last night I took 50 mg of Sildenafil and here's what happend. I was taking a bath with my gf, she touched my dick, just a three strokes and I was rock hard! It never happend to me before. The difference in erection was enormous. Even she was supprised how hard my dick was. She was giving me blowjob/handjob and even if she stopped for a while my dick was still hard, not getting soft rapidly like always. So I think it's a great success!

I think my issue is mental, like some of you have said in my original post. I was stressing too much and putting to much pressure on myself to get hard and eventually I couldn't get hard... I think that blue pills helped me with that as I was more confident about getting hard. Now I know that the problem is not my dick but brain and stress.

I know that my brain is still not fully healed, so I will continue my no porn and no masturbation journey and never go back to this shit again. Next time I will test the effect of just 25 mg of Sildenafil. To be clear I'm against taking pills and I don't want to be dependent on them. But I think I just need a little support of blue pills to gain more conifidence. I read many stories like this from guys here that after reboot they needed a little support of blue pills and then eventually they were able to have sex without it.

 

You are 500+ days NoFap and still have ED issues?
