    I quitted watching porn some 7 months now. I feel better, but still feel worried from time to time what if again get into a intimate situation with a girl.

    Your brain on porn website says to abstain from internet porn and to rewire to real life situations. But if you lack "the resource" to rewire? I worry I would not be able to perform.

    Another maybe weird question. And does not having real sex for a very long period causing the brain to become as manner of speaking "unfamiliar" to it...? Irrespective you were watching internet porn or not...?

    Thanks. Your response is much appreciated.

    @Piet_Krediet i always like to compare the feeling of being hungry to being horny. Interestingly the amygdala controls both drives :). In fact we salivate from both honestly eactly same.

    So imagine that you havent eaten anything sweet for a month, then you eat some cherries. Yummmmy! Right. So its the same with sex. And also abstain from m is also important cause a woman feels different than your hand.

    If you didnt p or m for 7 months u will be so horny that u dont have to worry lol......

    Don't feel "cured" yet though. It feels like I am in a flatline that won't stop. But thanks for your food for thought.

    I am in a similar situation. Although I have less time under my belt with abstinence than you do, I am ever mindful of what my rewiring situation will be like.
    I told myself I would start to rewire after 90 days. Seeing as that time is soon approaching, I think I will focus more on the intimate and romantic side of rewiring, more than the sexual side. Like you, I am also worried about if I will be able to perform, so I will put myself in more of a "lesser" sexual situation, i.e. cuddling, kissing, holding hands.
    Doing those things with someone I'm really into will take my mind off of the performance of my penis and put it solely on the woman I am interacting with. If and when I get an erection down there from that "lesser" stimulation, I know I'll be good for real sexual acts.

    That's my plan, I'll post about it when the time comes.
    Perhaps you can take this approach and adapt if for yourself?
    Best of luck.

    Update: it is now 1 year and 1 month since abstaining porn. I think my ED is less, but still present.

    -Random morningwood is harder.
    -I dance a lot, and when I get into an intimate dancing position I can get erections, usually to pretty girls off course but in a very inconsistent basis.
    -I have doing meditation the past 2-3 months and I feel (no hard proof) that it helps.
    -Occassionally I feel horny but seldomly and inconsistent.

    Still a bit pissed that I have not been cured after more than a year. Maybe because I don't have a consistent girlfriend to rewire.
