    It's been several months since even the thought of "p" or "m" and thankfully plenty of healthy "o" with my girlfriend. Sometimes though my erections aren't full or lasting and it could be from the smallest of distractions. The temperature, of course I get hot and bothered, but it can through me off and soft. Sounds or annoyances from our cats running around like loonies. I'm wondering if because of years of PMO did I ruin my head psychology.

    You might just need a bit more time my friend it can take up to like 9 months to get fully healed :)

    Harry. Nothing is permanent.
    For some, it takes a few weeks or months to heal. Others, it can take a year or, rarely, even two depending on many variables of course.

    This is not to discourage you, it is only to say that yes it is very possible that you're still healing, but as time goes on, you will reach your full health.

    Sounds like you're in a great place now. 5 months and healthy O with your girlfriend. Congrats. That's awesome, better place than I'm at. I can't even get it up with a girl yet. Just keep up the good work and give it time.

    My partner had bad PIED, but he had DE with an occasional bout of ED. We are four months NoFap and while things have dramatically improved he can now O with my hand or mouth and quite quickly when he only could from his hand before he still can't O from sex and does not feel much during PIV. It's frustrating I know! But you are definitely seeing improvement so you know it's working. Some people just take longer to heal. And guys don't kill me but as men get older they just can't get or stay as hard. So I am not sure how old you are but are you having unrealistic expectations? Often pmo addicts have never had a real sex life so pmo has taught them they have to have sex like 20 year old dudes. I don't think that you can mess yourself up with porn psychologically permanently. But many PMO addicts have underlying mental health issues that are masked by PMO and comfort out when you quit. My partner also still gets distracted during sex. He has cats but we lock them out but still any little distraction caused issues. I am pretty sure he also has ADD totally unrelated to PMO and it was covered before by PMO. So I think maybe consider more time is needed or that you have an underlying issue causing distraction.
