erectile dysfunction

I've been dealing with this addiction for many years. I've been trying to stop for good for many years. Right now, just after I relapsed once more, I feel lost. I feel empty. This condition is ruining my life in so many aspects. I constantly have problems getting erections when trying to have...

Hi, everyone. I'm a 43 year old guy, married, no kids. I have been using porn for almost 3 decades now. Introduced to it by watching late night TV in my room. Got resourceful recording stuff without raising suspicions... Then came the internet and, you guys know how it went. I am a very...

A study published on 2016 compared how many men had erection problems in the 90's and in the recent years. The scientific article also separated those males by age, so people can see how and why younger men are having more and more problems on having sex. Below you can see some highlights of the...

I've demonized porn and masturbating to get an orgasm. Although I am having huge difficulties getting it up to have sex. The little worry and performance anxiety should go away soon, but i could get a strong erection when I am alone (just a little bit of masturbating), and cant get it up for...

Hi guys. I started using this application a few minutes ago (I read the guide, but my native language is not English so I may make mistakes. I'm sorry) I am a 17-year-old who is preparing for the university exam. I can't say that my 17 years of life has been so wonderful. A few years ago, I was...

Hey everyone! Something I dealt BADLY with was erectile dysfunction. It led me down a path of thinking so many things were wrong with me and full of embarrassment to even not even moving forward with having sex with women because I’d rather just not feel the pain of embarrassment if I didn’t get...

Hi all, I am newleaf9. It's obvious given where this thread has been posted but I am new here. I am 22 years old and have been masturbating to pornography for the better part of my life. I was one of those kids who had unrestricted access to the internet growing up and this led me to...

I am in my early 30s and I have been addicted to masturbation from early teenage. I am not one of the people who got pulled into this due to access to high speed internet. Infact, I am not addicted to porn at the moment or never have been in the last 5 years but still have trouble in other forms...

Backstory: I'm new on here but have read a lot over the years. I've been through the gauntlet like many. I successfully beat ED by taking a legitimate 3 months of zero porn and masturbation...including no online dating, sexual movies etc. Quit drinking and chewing tobacco. All in, it worked...

33 yrs old should not have any issues - otherwise completely healthy. I would have spells of difficulty getting hard etc. What a lot of you feel. I did a lot of research into the boi-mechanics of how erections work. Here are the foods that fixed my issue, I highly recommend you try this...

Hi, I have been on Nofap for three weeks and can notice a weaker erection, a thinner erection, shrinkage of penis and worse incontinence. Anybody else experiencing similar thing? What can this be?

Hi all, Disclaimer: The title is reflecting my experience only, is anecdotal and not based on any scientific evidence. A few words about me for context: I am a 28 year old male that exercise 3-4 times per week, and is active in the great outdoors several times per week for hours at the time. I...

Hi all, I have been doing nofap back in 2018, but stopped because my penis did experience shrinkage and erwctile dysfunction. So I started masturbating again, but recently started nofap again. However I feel I will not continue because of these fears when continue with nofap: - Erectile...

Hi, I wanted to share my story with others to see if anyone else is going through a similar experience. I am new to the NoFap community but my journey with PMO addiction is one that started long ago in my early teens. I only recently decided to join the community after multiple failed attempts...

Hi Fapstronauts, Really need ur inputs . My story : I lost penis senstivity after a intense masturbation sensation 1 year ago . Tried lot of things but nothing worked to regain sensitivity on glans and penis I m also suffering from porn induced ED from 4 years. Cant do it with real girls but able...

I thought I would be sharing a success story by now, but I’m unfortunately still recovering from nofap. My TL;DR is posted below. I’ll try to keep this all short I got into masturbation at a very young age. Maybe as early as 10. It only progressed and got worse as I discovered fetish porn. That...

Hello! It's my first post here on forum so I want to say hello to everyone. I'm 27 yo right now. I've been addicted to porn since I remember, I was like 14 years old or so. I started watching porn before I had any sexual performerce with a real person. I had my first girlfriend at age of 21. Due...

i am suffering from zero erection and also no morning erection. I have masturbation addiction of 14 years used to fap daily basis. My age is 27... will NoFAP give me my lost stamina and strength ? And how many days it will take to be a normal man with natural sexual stamina .... sorry for my...

Not watched porn now in 3 weeks and feel no effects at all. Feels like there's a huge disconnect between my penis and brain. Guessing it's dopamine deficiency? How and when will I start recovering? Could dopamine die permanently?

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this due to not being turned on enough?

I say this because I think either sex or my girlfriend going away for a week led mine to be fried. I was addicted to porn, which I no longer am. I can go several weeks and months without and get hard with my girlfriend easily. This is up until last Saturday. My head is massively brain fogged...

I am 23 years old and struggling with erectile dysfunction. How did it start? I tried to have sex for the first time when i was 18 years old. I had a friendship plus at that time which lasted for half a year. I didnt really like to talk about me not being able to get an erection when being with...

Hello, so I’m back. I have been gone for many months, enjoying my relationship strangely which I never thought I’d say. In the months that have passed, I solely have been relying on my partner and PIV to give me my O’s which by depriving myself of P has worked a dream. All functionality is...

i have started having erections like i used to before i.e without using porn and artificial stimuli and i had an internal reflection today,i.e,it's all the same.porn,sex,masturbation,it's all the same individually,none of these change,it's the same mechanism of over stimulation and needlessly...

I want to start off by noting I have completely stopped masterbating in a prone position as of a week today. I am 20 years old about to turn 21 in October. I would say I started watching porn at the age of 15, however my porn consumption grew worse and worse following up to about 8 months ago...

Hello everyone, I hope you all are in your best health possible, today is my day 28 and i am not getting any erection, when I used to watch porn I get like medium erection a little bit lose but after leaving porn now I don't get any erection at all, today I tried to watch some sex calls just to...

Hi. Over six months ago, I discovered this technique of fapping where I put my penis between my thighs, shut them and pull the penis through. It stimulated very well and was convenient. You could do it in bed, you could do it on the couch and no one knew better. So convenient, in fact, that I...

I thought it might be nice to share some good news today I woke up with a boner!! I'm on day 32, I've struggled SO MUCH to get this far having suffered many relapses. I haven't had a random/morning wood boner in months and I'm SO PLEASED that my determination is finally paying off. I know...

Hey guys. So I had a streak a couple of years ago where I went about 1 1/2 years hard mode no PMO. I was found it easy as I was on Paxil at the time and it made it difficult to masturbate and my sex-drive was dulled substantially. When I finally broke my streak, I found that I couldn't get an...

Hello everyone. I am 20 years old and suffering from erection problems. A little backstory before I say what specifically my problems are. As I said I am 20, I am a virgin, and started masturbating at 12 years old. Now I have never been a porn addict, although of course through my teenage years...

What's the difference between PIED and severe PIED? how much longer does severe PIED take to heal?

I'm rebooting because using porn for years gave me erectile dysfunction and killed my sex drive. I want my dick back and I want my sex drive back. How about you?

Hello everyone. Today i bring you the answers after my very indepth time consuming research... Hold on tight... So I suffer from PE my entire life. Pretty much since i was 15 a lot of porn and dopamine increasing related activities. 1st sex when i was 20. realised thst time that something is...

Hi guys, so this post is part success story and part disappointment at lack of progress with sexual dysfunction. I am currently on day 78 hard mode. Today I slipped up and viewed fetish porn for an hour, but didn't relapse and I'm not resetting my days - just a silly mistake and I'm back on the...

Sex was a personal chimera for a big chunk of my life. Different factors, mostly shyness and an addiction to porn that I used constantly to kill my libido, kept me from being anywhere close to a sexual experience all the way till my mid-twenties. My virginity was an incredibly pressing issue...

Hello everyone I've been reading on this forum for years but never actually thought of posting ill give you a bit of background -PMO since very young age im 30 now -fit and well, smoked here and there and drank here in there I've lived most of my life having good erections with porn and...

Hi guys, I've just joined your community and I would like to share with you my problem, and ask whether maybe someone experienced similar troubles. I am 20 years old. A year ago I have noticed that I started having problems with staying erect, I've been trying taking various supplements, but...

Hi. I found this video to be very informative: . I have found that it helps to understand the root cause of a problem if you hope to get rid of it. I hope it helps. God bless!

So last night I found myself walking into the emergency room, on account of I had lost all sensation in the head of my penis 5 days ago. I assumed I was just diabetic because I had a lot of other symptoms commonly associated with type 2 diabetes (thirst, hunger, sweating, frequent peeing, etc)...

Backstory: Pied all year, dealing with only being aroused by specific porn and fapping techniques. On day 20 and while I do feel different i’m not cured. Has anyone else been through this and successfully cured it? How long did it take? I just want to aroused by girls easily like I used to. One...

Hey fasptranauts I started nofap with a friend that mentioned it to me about all the benefits and how its an addiction. I decided to join, he is currently on day 40 and I relapsed and was active for a week or so. This is when I realized I had a problem. I am currently fighting the desire and...

Hi! First post here. I'm 21 and been sexually active since I was 18. I've tied doing it with women and men, all of whom have been very attractive, but only been able to achieve an erection hard enough to penetrate about 2 times out of the dozen or so encounters that I've had. My porn use has...

Hi, I'm 23 male, used to do PMO once in two days! Tried NoFap several times before but I relapsed. This time I wanted to be on hardmode and heal myself and improve myself. So on 2nd Oct 2020 I started my NoFap (Hardmode) with Jelqing exercises. My libido, morning woods, urges was normal. While...

Backstory: have had pied all year. Currently on a 7 days streak longest has been 30. After another 7 or greater streak I can feel some libido coming back. My concern is that I can only get aroused by the weird things I used to fap: chatrooms, sissy cuck fetish all weird stuff. Have been straight...

My whole life I've had relatively little contact to girls. One of the rare occasions, when I had a girl at home, was when I was 19. I can still remember the rock hard boner I had when we were just sitting next to each other, still dressed, and our legs were touching. It was even a little...

Does anyone know how to deal with flatline depression and performance anxiety? I’m about 4-5 days into reboot and I sometimes worry that I may not go back to normal. I’m trying to remain optimistic because I still get erections, but they’re about 70-80% full. Any advice helps. Thanks I’m advance.

Hi guys, I wanna start by saying i have suffered with erection problems for about 4 years now and wanna get back to my old self, i often M with a flaccid as i cant get hard easy like i did before this issue started. I have been using porn everyday pretty much for the past 6-8 years. My D is...

t has been 90 days since I watched a porn video, masturbated or had an orgasm. It was not easy and I could have done better. One day I read some fictional incest stories. After 45 days went by my erectile dysfunction had not improved a bit so I started using a vacuum pump about every other day...

Hi everybody, I started the NoFap challenge today, I've tried quitting porn and masterbation many times but always fell back into the rabbit-hole but I'm more hopeful that by having other people I can share my experiences with instead of keeping it as my dirty little secret. I went through a...

Hello everyone, I came to this page doing research on my own and when reading the forums I felt motivated to start with abstinence from watching porn and masturbation. Now I have 5 days. I started with my girlfriend 2 months ago and the first time we had sex it was notorious that I suffer from...

Hello all, I’m 2 Days in and wondering what phase I’m in. I think I have PIED. I do get erections, but they don’t feel as strong as they used to be. I’ve been with women, but since my PIED I only get to about 80% and have trouble maintaining. My first trip to the doctor he told me I have...

Hello all, I’m worried I may have peyronie’s and I wanted to get some other opinions before calling a doctor in the morning. I think I only have 2 of the 6 signs they said are linked to Peyronie’s. They are as follows: The penis curves when erect (No) Shortening of the penis (Possibly?)...

Joined NoFap for ED,I think it’s getting better(sometimes it comes up,sometimes not.) Is normal mode really worth it? O with your partner slow down the reboot? Please,give me hope,I don’t wanna switch to hard mode. Just wanted to know if Normal Mode it’s ok.

Hello guys, Long-time lurker, but first post here. This community has been very helpful and Thank you everyone! I was going strong on a 50-day streak. However, I gave in after 50 odd days and ended up going on a 22 day binge. Just before the binge, I was able to get spontaneous erections and...

I had problems since always since I was younger, I trained my body and mind since I was a child and when the time to lose the virginity came I was scared and worried because I realized what I did to myself over the years. My first time was a disaster (as almost every first time) and so the next...

Has anyone ever felt like they lost their sex drive or even at times when they feel like jerking off or actually engaged with a woman they fail to get it up? I'm wondering if maybe I'm encountering Erectile Dysfunction. Oddly enough when I thought about watching porn or actually did I could not...

Hi guys, first of all sorry if there is already thread like this. I’m 22 years old guy. I had only one sex one year ago. I had blowjob a lot of times but sex only once. My problem is that I’m experiencing erectile dysfunction because of porn. I was watching porn and jerking almost every day...

So I have erection problem and libido due to Hard Flaccid. Can't maintain erection, erections are %30-40. some pelvic pains and lower back pain. All...

I just can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve quit porn fairly easily the last 2 weeks. The last month or so I’ve jerked off twice maybe. Once I started hanging out with this girl I quit. Unfortunately when going for sex I’ve gone soft. Yet the other night we were grinding up in each other and I came...

So 4 months ago I decided to do jelqing because I was a bit insecure about my size. I did it for about 2 weeks and then stopped because I noticed major sensitivity loss and morning erections were mild and I couldn't get fully hard or stay hard since then. At first I thought that it would just go...

Hello, I am a 22 year old guy, i watched porn since 13 i think, and on daily basis since i don't know when. I recently began trying the nofap challenge (not watching porn and no fapping), i am 15 days in right now, but since the first day i have not struggled with it and i do not feel different...

I’ve been having erection problems ever since I’ve been having sex with girls, which is about 15 years now. Which is longer than my porn problem, which only started a bit later. Now, this doesn’t mean they’re not related at all, but there is another cause for my ED that I wanted to talk about...

Hello everyone, I'm new in the community,I'm 23 yrs old and I have ed or pied.(I don't know,my penis didn't come up at all not even with porns). It all started last year when I had first time sex with my ex girlfriend and my "little friend" didn't come up. I went to the doctor and after all the...

Hi, I am 19 years old I have been on my journey for about 5 months in total. During this 5 months I have not watched porn once as I realized it could inhibit me from having real life intimacy. Before the start of my journey I had no way to achieve an erection besides porn. Currently, I can get...

Hi guys, I’ve got kinda a weird fetish which does sound a bit odd and strange. Since I was small I’ve always had a vore fetish. Basically I would like to be swallowed alive by someone or thing. I get aroused when I see the mouths of people and when people talk about their stomachs. Prefer...

Since I realized I had pied I have been trying to quit fap and pmo but I don’t seem to be able to succeed at it. It has been over 5 months that I’m trying to break free but I keep falling back and getting back into the binge and cycle and every time I fap I end up binging to something even more...

So I used to fap all the time for years, multiple times a day (1-3ish??) for a while but in the last year I’ve cut it out almost completely, probably fapped 8 or less times since stopping. But over the course of those years fapping, It’s clear my dopamine levels are low because I stopped having...

Hey guys I need some advice. I ask that you please take this seriously. The last day I masterbated was December 5th. I’ve tried to quit many times over the decade I’ve been masterbating without any real success. The reason I stopped was my penis began aching for days to weeks after I...

I'm 19 years old and I've been masturbating to porn daily since I was about 12 years old. At first I could get really hard erections without touching myself but now I can't get an erection normally without porn and I can only get a weak, fading erection if I touch myself whilst watching it. I...

Through my personal knowledge and experience, I am writing what I hope is a pretty good guide for those with PIED. A lot of the stuff on NoFap is theoretical, unrealistic, and unspecific for many, so I'm gonna give what I hope is a good map for understanding and defeating PIED. What is PIED...

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is fine I am 25 year old male. I am a virgin, I am watching porn from last 12 years. Earlier I used to masturbate twice even thrice, but from last 4-5 year I am watching porn daily and masturbating once in a day hardly there is any day I haven’t watched porn or...

Anyone ever have this thing where you get a hard erection for a few seconds, but it feels like the base of your dick just can't stay up, and then you feel like the blood just drains away?

My husband loses erection within 2-3 minutes during intercourse and not able to enjoy the session properly, so I get dissatisfy all the time. His doctor prescribed ED medication Kamagra. Does anyone have experience with this medication?

I don't know if I have a venous leak or if it's PIED. I'm really afraid that it may be a venous leakage. But I don't remember ever injuring myself I'm 21 years old, these are the problems I have - No morning erections - Dead libido - Erections can be easy to get (more easier if i don't...

I'm 27 and I have experienced pornography addiction since the age of 14. My first experience of erotica was via a copy of my mum's cosmo magazine, seeing girls in lingerie and reading erotic stories. This steadily progressed to internet pornography images -> videos. I had a hard time talking to...

I am 20 years old. During the beginning of the year I completed the 90 day challenged and experienced the benefits most people receive on nofap. However, three months ago work and school was very overwhelming. I ended up watching porn and masturbating. Now I am 2-3 months free of porn. However...

So today marks 3 months , id say 2 weeks ago I fapped and since then no urges to fap, not fighting pressure to do so, dont even think about it honestly. So in that sense I've made strides.. I'm staying 10 toes down on cutting off masturbation (used to do so excessively IMO) completely. Moving...

I have been able to motivate myself to be hard during intercourse with my partner, but I have not ejaculated yet. Being hard has been a result of either abstaining from masturbation or fantasizing abt my partner or due to taking sex-medicine. I was able to ejaculate fine during masturbation...

Hi everyone my name is Paul and Im 22 years old. I'm a new here and looking for help. I think I have erectile dysfunction. Recently I found a beautiful girl I have always dreamed of, but I cant make love with her. Previously, I was with a girl for 5 years and never had such a problem. Then we...

Hey, I deal with ED like incidents in the past as at 21 yo male, and I attributed it to my routine porn use, and likely not a physical medical condition. Does anyone know of any ways to reverse this sort of condition/know if it is possible to do so? Thanks all

Hoping all is well guys, Its been 3 weeks since Ive stopped fapping. Feel I had loss of sensitivity and ED due to excessive masturbation. Three weeks in and I feel fine, no urges because in my mind i know what needs to be done. Lately I've been getting morning wood and sometimes throughout the...

Hi I could do with some urgent advice. I’m 35 years old and have been fapping to porn since I was 14. I have had sex with a couple of women but i’m not very experienced. My brain is also programmed to get off on porn rather than a real woman so in the bedroom I find it very difficult to sustain...

Hello to all good morning, my name is Jose Miguel, I am 39 years old, I have been married since 20, I have 2 children, one of 16 and another of 10, I am from the Dominican Republic and I have masturbated since I was 14 or 15 years old. From that date and act today I continue to masturbate what...

Hi all, Big fan of this page and really enjoy seeing people get back on the right track but now it’s my turn to share. I’m a 23 year old male who started masturbating at 10 to mental images and switched to actual porn at 12. I have never masturbated correctly in that I get off by kind of...

This has literally never happened in my life. But I came THINKING about sex. I was alone in my house, about to eat and suddenly I got pretty horny. I was about a week and two days into nofap (had met up with my girl and had sex wednesday, though) and although I was horny, I didn't feel too...

A few times recently I tested my penis by gently fondling it to see if I could give myself an erection. I don't consider this a relapse because I am not getting anywhere close to orgasm. But I know I need to be careful because it could quickly escalate into a relapse. But the thing is, I've...

Hi all, I don't fully understand what's wrong with me - it has been about 7 months that my sex drive is at an all time low and that I've had ED problems. This isn't just during sex but during solo masturbation itself, my penis will reach maybe between 70% and 90% of hardness but won't get...

Hi all Just found this place and wondering if my porn addictions are connected to how I am with women... I’m 38 never married, had several long term relationships but they have always got to the point where I’m bored of the sex... in between these relationships I’ve slept around, and it’s like...

I'm 24 years old. As a teen I was addicted to porn and only knew of prone masturbation (lying on your stomach). I indulged multiple times a day. In college, I had numerous opportunities for intercourse. Unfortunately, I have yet to have a sexual experience (whether that's masturbation alone or...

What are the possible causes of erectile dysfunction? And how to deal with this?
