Curing delayed ejaculation

    I have been struggling with delayed ejaculation ever since my divorce 1,5 years ago. For some reason I didn't have dysfunctions during my marriage even though I used porn a lot. But after my divorce things have been difficult with new partners. Often I can't orgasm even after half an hour of sweaty intercourse, and sometimes I also lose erection. It is very very frustrating! :( I think that most of my issues are due to porn, anxiety and other psychological things. And partly I am blaming my adult circumcision which has decreased my sensitivity. I don't use any medication.

    I did an 80 days NoFap streak in the summer, and I am now on day 30 of my second streak. I feel that avoiding masturbation has helped me with my problems, but I am still not cured. A year ago I could NEVER come during sex. But now I can usually orgasm during the first intercourse session (I am allowing myself sex with suitable partners). But if I am going for "round 2" during the same day, I am usually not able to orgasm at all, even though I am usually able to get erect. These experiences are with girls that I like and that I am seeing more or less regularly, but sometimes I feel that I am actually able to perform better with one night stands, who don't mean anything to me. But obviously I would like to be able to perform normally with a girl that I really love! At the moment it seems very difficult.

    Can anyone relate to my situation? Do you have any thoughts or recommendations?

    Thanks for coming here and sharing.

    So, this might seem like wishy-washy gobbledy-gook to you, but it might resonate. I am a divorcee myself and I think that the experience of getting divorced is an emasculating experience. After my divorce, I attempted a "rebound" with a 19-year-old college girl and couldn't even get it up! It was my first experience of ED, (and I don't think it would have been PIED at that point in my life because I didn't experience PIED until later). It took me years to recover and *begin* to feel like a man again after the divorce.

    I'm glad that rebooting has helped, somewhat. (Congratulations on Day 30!) But maybe rebooting is not the sole cause and some of the psychological issues need to shake out. It may take therapy or it may just take time.

    Alternatively, maybe you just need a longer reboot. 80 days is fantastic, but some men don't find their sexual problems are fully healed for several months, or even a year. I recommend you keep going! After all, you seem to be on the right track, right?

    Lastly, NoFap doesn't claim to be a "cure" for any sexual problems. You may very well want to consult your doctor. If he's worth his salt, you can open up about NoFap, sex issues, and psych issues and he will have advice.

    Good luck!

    I am feeling very sad for you. Circumcision is really a crime. It should be forbidden by law. I read just today that it's not only a problem for men, but also for women. That's because the man needs to put much more "pressure", "attack" and "speed", which is not pleasant for the woman at all. Also, you don't have the delicate gliding effect of the foreskin, which is great for both. And finally, you have lost many sensitive nerves. Without foreskin, sex is like listening to music in mono, instead of stereo. No, no. It's really a crime.

    wtf to the poster above,save that lame speech for foreskin restoration sites. ANYWAYS you're just in luck op,circ'ed and used to have a bad case of DE about 2 years ago. On my first attempt of rebooting i accomplished roughly 130+ days and it pretty much fixed everything. Went back to 12yr old curious me in terms of sensitivity. I don't know which # of days it corrected itself but over time it'll fix itself. Just focus on other things, stop touching your dick and watching porn you'll be fine.

    Sorry, in my previous post, I oversaw the word "adult". Therefore, of course it is not a crime against you.
    Still, it is possible that some doctor was giving you wrong advice.
    Circumcision is a major body interventin, it's not just like cutting your hair.

    Well thank you for being so honest to insulting me, there must be a lot of anger in your inner soul. What makes you so angry ? Have you lost your foreskin also? I am feeling sad for you, because you have lost a lot of important nerves, and it makes your life more unpleasant and aggressive.

    Thanks for sharing your experience! I realize that there might be some psychological issues due to the divorce. But they are not obvious. For example, I am not regretting the divorce, which was mostly my own choice. I don't feel that it diminished my self esteem in any way. Did you manage to rebound back to "normal" sexual performance level eventually after your divorce?

    I went to the doctor a year ago, and I explained him everything. But he just gave me blue pills and said that it is not uncommon for dysfunctions to appear after a divorce. He promised that I would get better with time. And I have to admit that things have gotten better during the past year. But I am still struggling! Sex is still a scary endeavor for me instead of a fun adventure. Blue pills guarantee an erection, but it doesn't help at all with the orgasm difficulty. The doctor didn't have any cure for the latter problem!

    Thanks for the therapy advice. I will try to discuss these things with a therapist in the near future.

    I did do the usual test to see if my DE is porn induced or not: masturbation without porn took over 30 minutes to reach climax, whereas I could do it under 5 min with porn. This is why I started NoFap, and fortunately it has helped me somewhat like you said.

    I was circumcised at age 27 (about 10 years ago) for medical reasons. I do agree that it did cut some important nerves from me. Even the doctor confirmed this. But he argued that since most cut guys around the world don't have any issues (most like their circ'ed cawk just fine, like Jiffyman here), it is not the root cause for my problems either. And I have to admit that I enjoyed sex with my ex-wife even after the circ and I never had any dysfunctions with her. That being said, I have been restoring my foreskin for a year now.

    Did you also have DE & sensitivity problem? And are you circ'ed yourself? Low sensitivity is precisely how I would describe my feelings during sex. It is very encouraging to hear that you have recovered from such a similar situation via NoFap. I will aim for 130+ days myself then! :) May I ask, did you allow yourself real sex during your 130 days streak, or did you go completely without any orgasms?

    Yes, I eventually did return to MY normal, although I've since learned that PMO addiction meant MY normal at the time wasn't as good as I could be doing.

    I just want to make clear, too, that by saying divorce can be emasculating, I don't mean to suggest your ex-wife was the one doing the emasculation, or that she was malicious. I just think that when men fail to achieve, whether the achievement is a promotion or a happy marriage, it can make us feel less masculine. This could be a very subconscious thing.

    Sorry your doc just threw pills at you. In my experience, blue pills don't help with PIED. I'm not sure what they would do for DE. But I think you're on the right track.

    Note also, though, that DE can be caused by how you masturbate. Look into stuff about "Death Grip" if you haven't. NoFap is probably the best way to fight Death Grip... but even just masturbating more gently, or with a gentle masturbator/pocket pussy can help (I've read).

    Hey man, sorry if i wasn't clear in my last post. Yes I'm indeed circumcised and suffered heavily from DE & sensitivity problems into my early 20s. During sex i'd only cum if i was jackhammering or if it was my first sex in weeks. I did a full 130+ days plus without porn/psub and orgasm (sex wasn't an option at the time). I too thought it was because i was circumcised, but i have friends who are circumcised and they always mentioned how great sex and blowjobs felt. At that time blowjobs felt like nothing more than warm wetness on my tool, didn't get any pleasure out of it. But after the reboot everything went back to normal, so don't lose hope.

    Ok thanks man! I have a very similar situation: at the moment blowjobs feel like nothing more than warm wetness. And it's not about the girl, because I have had many experienced girls trying. :D I also was convinced that it is a physical thing related to my circ. But you are right that circ can't be the only cause since many cut guy are enjoying BJ's very much. It is very encouraging to hear that NoFap worked wonders for you! I will keep at it then. Aiming for 130 days hard mode like you did. Hopefully it works for me as well (and for Alex here, who seems to be in the same boat)...

    One more thing, do you guys think that it is best to do NoFap entirely without orgasms? I mean, I currently have an opportunity to have real sex a couple of times per week, and so far I have used these opportunities (I am usually able to come once via jackhammering). But would my sensitivity increase more rapidly if I abstain from all orgasms?

    I'm sort of in the same boat. I cured my DE partially, I did 41 days and I can now orgasm in the missionary position. However I can't orgasmt in any other position and I don't know why. Im a lot more sensible (blowjobs feel awesome) but I dont know if it because of being nervous or masturbating prone as a kid. May be I should do more days and see what happens.

    I would be so happy to O in any position, and also by HJ or BJ - I would not care. What is sooo frustrating that I cannot O yet with my new partner no matter what. So now we are having amazing sex and I am playing that game of "I really don't care about O, just go with the flow" but she is finishing and I am not, so now that energy is not getting released. I will NOT M or watch porn, I refuse. I am not having any trouble getting erect, no trouble thank god.

    How long did it take you till you could achieve O again?
