How do tell if it is performance anxiety or pied?

    This may seem a dumb question, but how do I know if it is performance anxiety or pied?

    Have you stopped fucking your hand while watching porn for at least 3-6 months?

    If not, it's probably PIED.

    If you haven't cum or looked at porn in 6+ months, and you still can't get it up, it's probably performance anxiety, or something else.

    But, based on past posts you shared, it's pretty clear to me that it's PIED.

    Get on a hard-mode reboot, bro.

    I haven’t mate, I have tried but always end up pmo, edge or just look at it.

    I am going on hard-mode 100% now!

    Can I ask if you have suffered with pied and did you beat it?

    my head is all over the place right now thinking about this girl and how I have fucked it all up by wankin to that stuff.

    I'm still a virgin by choice.

    I have now committed my orgasm to my wife, and I'm still unmarried, so I've not yet tried with a real girl.

    However, I was deep enough in porn before that it definitely fucked up my sexuality. I don't know because I didn't test with a girl, but I am confident I would have had PIED before. I didn't get boners without porn, and nothing other than the filth on the screen got me turned on.

    I am recovered from that, now, though. I get morning wood and occasional boners throughout the day. If I hear or see something sexy, I get hard. I'm 100% confident there will be no "hardware issues" when the time comes.


    But getting to this point was hell. PMO addiction recovery is painful and challenging. It requires massive rewiring of the brain, and that takes an awful amount of energy, focus, and commitment.

    It's 100% worth it. My life is objectively and immeasurably better without porn.

    But the road to freedom is long and hard.

    But it's worth it.
