    Hi to everyone. I'm a 22 years old's guy. I masturbated prone and excessively for 15 years and I suffer since a lot of years from a total ED: I don't manage to reach a good erection in no way, my penis is like dead, very numb. Since December I have done various periods of Nofap (one period of 4 months and a half, one period of 2 months and a half, two period of one month each one) and totally in the last 10 months I masturbated only 27 times and only by hand. Anyway my total ED is still here. Doctors gave me the most common medicines and treatments but no result at all. What do you recommend?

    Before you think about PIED, you should check your hormones (testosterone, estradiol and prolactin) and your penis if there are physical issues.
    If not, it could be very likely PIED and after 15 years constant masturbation you can’t expect that it will be solved after just some months.
    It’s hard but you can do it

    Definitely yes. Especially when you say that your penis is numb, it can be caused by nerve damages. It could be a nerve in your penis but it could be also caused somewhere in your back.
    Do you have morning woods?
    You should make list and see different doctors to finde the cause. If everything is fine, it could be a hard case of PIED. But I don’t think so

    I never have morning wood, and I never have spontaneous erections. Until now, I have seen 3 doctors, none of them has improved my situation. Anyway, I will search for one doctor that can really help me

    They think maybe that this is psychological. You need to make it clear that it is not psychological

    Yeah, you perfectly understood the problem. Doctors tend to 2 answers: 1. It's psychological 2. take that medicines which cause erections, but doing in this way doesn't help anyway, It makes me only angrier, making me waste only time (already 2 years without solving anything and only spending money)

    You're really asking/relying on lay opinions here than doctors'? You've already been to a doctor: Maybe you should go back (and perhaps to a specialist - a urologist) and explore all the other possibilities: nerve damage, shaft damage, testosterone levels, other chem levels, etc. Then, there are psychologists, if referred, if needed, but possibly not.

    BTW, what is "meeting my goals" on your counter mean? I'd hope your not holding your goals too close to the chest. Your condition sounds very serious at your age, as far as its easily negative impact on present or future relationships, whatever that may look like. You really ought to go hard mode with no P and no M and no O for a full 90 days, if not longer. Or, if not, you run the risk of sinking deeper in the PIED dysfunction.

    Thank you. I inserted "Meeting my goals" for error. My Nofap periods (the longest has been of 138 days) were based on NO PMO, but no results.

    Unusual masturbation techniques causing problems?

    Check out that article for recovering from TMS.

    You will definitely need a 90 day reboot, but other measures may be needed. Rewiring with real sex will be essential for you, but "retraining" your penis to find pleasure through "stroking<=>pulling" movements will be critical.

    Do you have any depression, brain fog, emotional/mental numbness?? Is your dick physically shriveled up small?

    I read a lot of time this article, thank you. Yeah, I'm doing reboot (NO PMO). Anyway, I have already done a period of 138 days which hasn't given me any result

    Well, I sometimes have brain fog, I'm a bit depressed but depression is in my opinion the result of this situation. Yes, my penis looks like shriveled up small.

    How and when did your dick shrivel up small? I ask because I am having a similar issue. Prone masturbation led me to immediate libido loss and penis shriveling. My urologist wanted to give me viagra and found nothing wrong with me. Took tests. I hope our that issues aren't permanent? What the fuck is going on with us?

    My penis shriveling, I think, started 5 years ago but at that time I was not educated about these problems so I didn't care about this. Your doctor found nothing wrong with you but how has he established it? Did he prescribe you some tests? What tests?

    Just blood work and a prescription for viagra. This was a few years ago.

    I'm not taking a doppler ultrasound whatever that is test, because quite frankly I have no idea how to find that test or where it is, it's also probably really expensive. I'm not rich. Besides I can get aroused a little bit but also a semi erection happened one time after this incident happened.

    So that's my deal. I'm not going out of my way to spend $1000 on tests. I really do think my issue is porn. As for you, I don't know what your issue is. Is 135 days your biggest streak? No improvements whatsoever? Are you masturbating without porn during these streaks? You have need to stop that AND go at least 1-2 years on hard mode.

    A doppler ultrasound is not very expensive, so in my opinion you should consider to do it. Anyway, 138 days is my biggest streak, but I didn't have any improvement. During these streaks I never masturbated (no porn, no masturbation, no orgasm).

    Again, I appreciate the advice but I don't have the money and am actually on a fixed income right now due to a disability. $1,000+ is quite expensive for me.

    Where do you think your brain fog is coming from? If you have that, it kind of indicates this could be porn addiction related due to dopamine sensitivity. Just my two cents.

    My problem is not porn addiction, in fact during my life I watched very little porn, but 15 years of prone masturbation (without porn). My brain fog in my opinion comes from a sensation of impotence to act and to do what I want to do.
