    Yes. I remember a year ago your publications showed that anxiety. That caused you to be in these forums. That is what is currently happening to @Anonymous86 .

    My point of view is that in some cases these forums are bad for people because they cause them anxiety.

    You guys are right. I think we go too specific about problems and we also too much educate ourselves in wrong way.
    Reading "problem threads", we are getting wrong sense of this NoFap thing.
    The worst thing is that, people think that doctors are signed up on this forum and listening to their advices how should they do things, I was that "doctor" also.
    But now I see that every single person on this forum that have problems with fapping watched also different porn categories and videos so problems are not the same.

    We can't advise someone with general things because we don't know the factors that bring them to that point.

    Thank you guys, you definetly opened my eyes about reading that kind of posts. I can't progress if I almost everyday read about PIED and that people can't get errections.
    Comedy is, they don't even try that with girls, they open new incognito and check if they're aroused by the same drug that induced that.

    Definetly my new strategie is, continuing nofap but get myself around girls, and meet them.

    If I stay inside home and think everyday about my same urges induces by porn I will never cure myself. Probably need to "produce" new kind of urges. Nobody is talking about that.

    The anxiety is probably induced not by urges, but by cutting the porn and not getting action with real women.
    It's normal for anxiety that will occure because brain is thinking that something is wrong and it's in danger. It's unknown state for brain.

    Nobody is that ugly that he can't get himself a women to be around. So motivate yourself to learn how to talk to girls and get some emotional relationship...

    Our brain is so capable for these things that we're not even conscious.
    Don't force things and don't get depressed if someone rejects you. There is plenty women in this world that everybody can put their thing in somewhere. :D

    No magical stick will heal you with only nofap, you may feel physically benefits but not 100% mentally.
    So cut porn and get that "natural" dopamine from real world.

    People in last century didn't have porn like we have today, I mean in earlier time of century. They had urges to be phyisically around women.
    They were real men.
    One of their main characteristics was action, not satisfaction.

    This is definetly new thing to talk about.
    Action and NoFap.

    Let's see what happens if we think how to get closer physically and emotionally around girls, not just fight with our porn urges.
    That's not the point.
    Stress won't do anything goos for us, but growth will. Let's act.

    Guys y’all need to have sex with a girl to rewire, I rarely get random erections or morning wood but when I get intimate with my girlfriend it works.

    I've seen an urologist he said im fine. I know its pied because when i managed to do a good streak morning woods came back at 80%. But unfotunately i slipped back and chaser effect made me relapse many times for too long. Yes i am very much afraid of the damage ive made to myself but i try to keep my head up and see where it goes. Im thinking a year without any stimulation could do the trick.

    No surprise that you didn't recover, if you don't quit what is giving you issues, there won't be any improvement, and I don't mean porn, because you said you're off it and still having issues, so porn is not the main problem here... How did your erection problems start?

    I know for a fact that my problems are not entirely because of the fear of this forum, they definitely have been creadted by me. However, the stories that I read here, like of our brother here ho has been at it for 229 days and still is facing issues, I mean this post is enough to give me sleepless nights.

    Sometimes I go back from reading these and feel soo afraid about my life, I mean I have not even crossed 20 days 30 days yet, and that is basically nothing here.

    God damn this addiction is sooo dangerous man.

    Need to get rid of this shit as soon as possible.

    Rebooting doesn't mean recovering, although it could be a useful tool... What is your situation?

    Hey Pedro Delgado.

    Es cierto. Los chicos en estos foros se están haciendo unas ideas muy falsas sobre la abstinencia.

    Recuerdo que nunca me masturbé en mi adolescencia y sin embargo yo era un chico muy normal. Mi libido era normal, mi madera matutina era ocasional y no caminaba 24/7 con una erección.

    Estos chicos en estos foros piensan erróneamente que si dejan de masturbarse tendrán superpoderes, erecciones y MW 24/7, magnetismo femenino y una gran cantidad de cosas absurdas como esas que nunca pasan. Lo digo yo que pasé toda una adolescencia sin saber qué era la masturbación.
     
  12. Why don't you show me where I said I'd have super powers? That was never posted by me. I do however think after spending a long time with this addiction I have had a lot of dopamine in my brain that I need to recover from.
     
  13. So I think the Tantra guy is charging people like 1200 euros for his plan to help everyone - just a heads up in case anyone is wondering.

    My erection problems started from porn dude i know that for sure.

    Its been 300 days with some sporadic testing (first test after two months then every month or so) but no improvement (altho after two months i saw some little improvement while testing but it all went away).

    Idk man are there cases of people that never recover? I really fear that and it's keeping me up at night
     
  15. @Realitnt it might take up to two years, depending on how young you were when you started, how much real sex you had early on (0 for most guys including myself...) and the frequency with which you used porn. Just look up Gary Wilson's videos or yourbrainonporn.org for a compilation of a lot of case 'studies' and relevant scientific data. Testing your 'ability' will only delay your recovery even more...

    I'm currently also flatlining again with no MW or random erections throughout the day, but I'm not worried about it that much. I've experienced that with proper foreplay I can get a good (albeit not 100% hard) erection anyway, even though it doesn't seem like it when I'm by myself. I'd like to feel super masculine and be able to get hard in an instant (some men can do that yeah?) but I'll just have to keep rewiring and abstaining from porn to get there - not that hard anymore now that I'm more aware of the mental processes that lead me to crave porn. I expect it will take at least another year before I feel rewired but I won't have to live in misery during that year.

    Maybe you shouldn't be testing your erections. That can be setting you back as well. Why are you trying to have sex if you can't get aroused?

    I'm not saying that your problems didn't start from porn, I'm just saying that it might not be the main problem, because you already went 300 days without it and still facing issues, so something must be missing, what have you already tried so far to improve your erections?
     
  18. Bro! Let me give you hints! Stress + anxiety + depression causes ED and PREMATURE EJAC. There is something that causes you to return to your habit!(FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS IT AND BELEIVE ME YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAS THE ABILITY to change it. Are you introvert? lonely? Change anything that stresses you out! Don't watch PORN! Don't test with PORN! PORN causes ED and PREMATURE EJAC too because it re-wires your brain! You must have control and find out the underlying reasons which is in your mind!
     
  19. Yes - and in many ways I often walk around feeling like something is wrong with me as a result of this addiction.

    Thanks for your answer mate, I'll take note of that.
    Problem is that i cant find any case study like mine they all start feeling better at around 300 days. Im wondering if i can ever heal at all you know? But you're right testing will only delay the healing and i'll try to not do it.
    But seriously are there people that never healed from it? Cuz theres an mo session where i gave up and i went a lil bit too far. This is what frustration did to me or i did to myself. Now im feeling bad and scared about it. Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
