    All sexual activity whether from MO or sex messes me up.

    Currently 282 days into my forever streak. I had PIED off and on for over 25 years of my addiction. 45 years old now. I had a BAD flatline starting around day 25 that was caused in part by my fist successful sexual encounter in over 2 years. It lasted for about 3 weeks. It was HELL. It was the period that I attribute most of my healing to though. It's when you break those addicted neural pathways.

    Anyway, around day 45 came along and I was good to go. I've had sex at least once every 10 days or so, and only 2 failures. My libido has come back naturally. Morning wood frequently, and I find about 10 days or so after sex I'm getting strong urges to do it again.

    Mine came back by itself, like someone turned it back on overnight. I was/am single.

  5. How much time did it take you to get it back?

    Two months. I've relapsed a lot since then though and now it's taking much longer so when it does return, make sure you don't go back to your old behaviour.

    For me there were a couple of precursors to it coming back. I had consistent strong morning wood for around a month beforehand and was also having extremely vivid and memorable sexual dreams for a week or two, after that libido started to come back online.

  7. ED drugs and sex worked out for me. It took me few months to get into an "acceptable" stage.
    What seams to be the problem in my case is once when libido is back to normal I tend to wonder off in the wrong direction.
     
  8. So orgasm didn’t make your withdrawals feel worse? They seem to make mine worse.
     
  9. Not at the time, as I was completely depleted.
    Real concerns started once i thought I was back to "normal"

    As a young teen, I really wish I have flatline for like 1-2 years so that urges go away naturally and no struggle for addiction lol. Although it's not possible :D

  11. The best way would be to have a girlfriend through teen years and not to wonder in direction porn

    curious about ED drugs and sex. My pied is completely psychological as there is nothing physically wrong with me. Ive considered taking a drug but scared to because im worried after the drug wears off ill be limp and worn out for days and even worse before. Or i dont want to become dependent on them. Did ur penis feel fine after taking a drug? Do you think (fda approved; safe) stamina pills in sex stores would work? Or prescribed like viägrä? I think if i have sex with pill just a couple of times i can have sex with much confidence and mentally rewire faster i just dont want it to take a physical toll on my body
     
  14. I’m also confused on that one because there is one guy on here and has been in flatline for six years because he still has sex with ED drugs and for years he’s kept asking why is he still in flatline.

    Being in a flatline is like being in a coma, your body will only wake up when it has done healing. Sure you can take some pills and force sex on yourself, you may even feel your libido rebound but it will only be temporary and ultimately you will just be setting yourself back further. You just have to trust me on this, you can't fuck your way out of a flatline. You're welcome to try but it won't work.

    Oh and another thing. When your libido does return, that doesn't mean you can have sex like there's no tomorrow, you have to take it super steady. Even so it's quite likely you will dip in and out of flatlines but they will be shorter as long as you don't go crazy like I just said.

  16. I rather be in a coma to heal from this shit. That’s what I noticed reading the forums. Just sucks that we don’t know when will get over back to normal. I just miss my old self. I’m definitely not who I use to be before.
     
  17. How I evolved to treating my condition with ED drugs is via my older buddies who were experiencing difficulties due to their age. I thought that it might help, and it did. My condition is also strictly psychological due to ADHD and anxiety.
    What gave me hope is when I was slightly drunk, which implies I wasn't anxious when a woman touched me I've gotten a boner, but when we are sober making out I was paralyzed waist down.
    What helped me in resolving the situation was the fact that I was with an woman I was comfortable with in the past so.
    Get one thing straight, there is no natural remedy for this. All those products in ads you might see contain a chemical called sildenafil. I tried both and the effects are the same.
    What held me back from using it before was bro-science. I heard stories that once you go that path there is no turning back, and that simply isn't true. Once you are comfortable in the situation, knowing you are a man, you are likely to perform without help.

  18. Well just imagine what would happen if your sexual experiences were limited only to your imagination. No porn, no girls, just you and your testosterone.
    you all have to be aware and accept the fact that you will never experience highs like the ones when you were exploring and stumbling across something new that tickled your imagination like never before. But also be aware, that was the kind of behavior which ultimately led you into registering to this forum and seeking help.
    The guy you are referring to is just 6 years older and couldn't perform the way he did anyway. Especially not once he went cold turkey from all unhealthy shit he was feeding his brain. It's the same with food, water won't taste the same once you tried cola.

    The only good advice I can give you is that addiction progresses and leads to even more stranger and unaccepted behavior. And who knows where you might end up.
    I try to look at it as a reward to being my old boring self.
