    Hello

    I am male 30.

    I stopped O on the 10th April, so 5 weeks ago.
    I stopped M on the 25 April, so 3 weeks ago.
    I stopped Porn on the 25 April, so 3 weeks ago.

    I edged in late April without O, a few times, for an hour max, watching pictures on my phone.
    I watched soft images here and there, even yesterday.
    But I am not watching myself, not fantasizing. And I am not testing my erections.

    I have morning woods almost every morning, sometimes strong.
    But I don't have those random erections in the mile of the day, or looking at a stunning girl like yesterday.

    But on the other hand, almost everyday at work after noon I start falling asleep on the computer, and right at that moment I am getting an erection.
    Everyone when I start falling asleep.
    Yesterday my erections got triggers when I started falling asleep.
    I kinda woke up and stopped falling asleep to do some more computer tasks.
    My erections lasted 30 minutes until a co-worker came to talk to me and my focus was on what she was talking to me about.

    My goal is to fix my erections which are slow to grow and at an angle, except at night.

    I will keep doing the no PMO till I have fixed them, but do you think so far this is all normal and that I will regain my erections ?

    Thank you

    Sounds like you need a nap!! or to get more sleep at night. IDK why the arousal goes with sleep. Maybe your brain thinks of PMO as a stimulant, and is saying, hey, do this to wake up. But if you get drowsy you need to sleep. I make my own hours so I can always sleep if I need a nap. I think all jobs should be like that. I don't always nap but when I feel the need, it's good to have it possible.

    Yep. Just stay clean! If you relapse it'll be a setback, but if you say clean, then things can improve. I've seen tons of changes in 27-28 days.

    But don't worry about your reproductive functions. You don't really need those for anything. Of course your reproductive functions won't seem to work how you want them to, when you are using them addictively. Addictively could even include recreational sex without intent to have a child. Your body will know when it's time for it to work - Just trust that and let go of worry.

    What effects specifically, can you describe them if possible ?
    I am only interested in the erections fix, I know about confidence etc...

    Also, how long have you been really addicted and had it effected your erections before you stopped ?

    Because the thing is I don't feel horny anymore... And this with my weaker erections are killing me.
    Porn has no effect on me, I was doing it by habit or when I was angry or sleepy.
    I had to touch myself while browsing Porn to start an erection. After a couple years of that I decided to stop for good with 1 fail in fabruary after 1.5 month of no PMO.
    I am single also.

    Hi LeBlanc! Well, for example, by not relapsing today, I finally achieved my vision of opening a reddit group about supporting anti-noise-pollution type stuff. That had been a vision forever but I kept relapsing. It took me a really clear mind to be able to see my opportunity and go for it.

    About erections, sorry. I don't think about it much. I notice when I get one, but I'm not too concerned either way. I trust that if I was with a woman I love, everything would work just fine. So healing from performance anxiety etc. is definitely possible.

    Even if you're not sure, the #1 thing to do is stay clean. That's the only way you can know for yourself. Also, don't go trying to do a little fapping to "test it". Just let it be. Obsession over that might be part of the addiction.

    If you think 30 days is enough of an experiment, you might say, well, I can do PMO again. But... Maybe it isn't! Maybe you're only at the beginning of what could happen in your life.
