    Hi, I just started nofap two weeks ago and I’m on day 14. I’ve quit porn since November now but still have been masturbating ever since, I had sex a couple weeks ago and noticed I wasn’t getting strong erections and it started to make me really embarrassed, I don’t know if it’s from masturbating too much or if there’s something wrong or if I still have PIED. Please help me out here as I continue my journey

    Totally abstain from PMO and all sexual stimulation for at least 90 days. I'm over 70 days so far and my PIED is gradually getting better. It takes time to reverse the damage done our brains. The damage didn't happen right away and it won't heal right away. Keep going on your streak it will get better.

    That’s my problem, there’s a girl I’ve been talking to lately and she wants to have sex with me but I don’t know if my PIED is cured, I stopped watching porn months ago like I said. I just never stopped masturbating everyday and I think that’s the problem

    Keep going i was just giving up porn but have also not masturbated, Think of it as a small period of time out of your whole life. It will pass talk to the girl i am sure she will help.

    I’d like to note I’m 16 doing this too, I’ve been taking cold showers and exercising more often lately, my only concern is when would I recover? and my answer wasn’t really answered because I don’t know if it was porn or death grip that caused me not to get hard during the sex I had a couple weeks ago, like I said I quit porn months ago but I never stopped masturbating all the time which is why I’m doing nofap to improve my sexual benefits

    So I can tell you about my experience with a similar situation a couple of weeks ago but keep in mind I'm almost 50 so it may or not be relevant for you. Two weeks ago I met a girl I'd been chatting with for a couple of months and after several dates I stayed over at her place for the night. I have pretty severe PIED so I told her about the porn addiction and that if I can't get it up it's because of that and has nothing to do with how attracted I am to her. She was totally understanding and even though I had trouble getting up we still had a great time and everything seems to be going well since then. My wood is healing but it's still not great so I've got to keep at the Nofap program and just wait it out. That's my story for that. Hope it's helpful for you.

    Thank you, I’m still wondering when my flatline is gonna hit because it still hasn’t hit for me yet, it takes longer for me to reboot because of how young I am right?

    I've heard that but I don't think it's always the case.

    Yea I’m young but like it’s not just about that, I wanna have a healthy sexual life for when I get older and which is why I’m even doing nofap in the first place.
