    Hi everyone nearly 21 and have been watching porn on average 5 times per week since 13. Any time i've tried to be sexual with girls i've been unable to get more than semi erect. I worry this lack of sexual experience will mean it is harder for me to recover?

    Within the past year i've had a 40 day streak, a 72 day streak, and most recently a 20 day streak. Though have binged for at least a week after each. Had return of morning wood on my longest streak and sometimes spontaneous semi erections but had no girls to test on. Will these previous streaks help me recover faster?

    Only 64 days till i am back at university and so angry I wont be cured by then. If i do get a girlfriend would a ed medication help me have sex? assuming in 64 days I will have regained some sensitivity I should be able to get an erection. It is maintaining it that I believe will still be impossible. could medication help me maintain an erection to re-wire?

    I would appreciate if people could share their insight/experience. would be very helpful.
     
  2. Well your previous streaks just show that NoPMO helps you to regain your "functions".
    I would not stress and (in my opinion) not think about medication.
    You are a healthy young man. Stay strong and I asure you you abilities will come back.
    At least for me it took nearly 60 days for something wich could be called a "health boner".
    Stay positiv. There is nothing wrong. You just need to rewire...and that takes time.

    Yeah positivty is the main thing. Problem is previous streaks did not lead to full recovery only partial. I didnt last long enough for that. I'm going to give it time. Medication would only be an absolute last resort if after 90 days I still cant maintain an erection with a girl.

    How old were you when you started PMO? I think that is a key factor from what im reading people who didnt view internet porn until a later age recovery faster.

    I’ve been taking ED meds since the age of 18. It’s messed me up good. I wouldn’t touch them if I were you as you’ll become dependent on them. I had times when I was doing great but still kept taking them.

    I’m on hardmode no PMO since a month. I feel great but haven’t had an erection outside of morning wood yet. I’m giving it as long as it takes and going to try to have sex without ED pills.

    Keep up nofap and don’t be so hard on yourself about getting a gf. You’re still very young and you’ll have plenty of opportunities. Patience will pay off.

    I’d advise you to work out (if you haven’t already) as that will boost your confidence and women will love it.
     
  5. I took Cialys occasinally. The med told me it would work best. Do they really make you an addict? Wow, did not know that. Addict in what sense? That you will get no erection without?
     
  6. I know it is hard to believe at your age, but just take it as I say: "Girlfriends are not everything"
    They harder you try, the less they respect you, because your "urge" is obvious. And healthy women want confident men that know their value and that are not for free. Get your life straight, work out, work your classes, nothing makes you more attractive for girls that competence and confidence.

    I've been addicted to ED meds all my life. In other words, I feel like I would not be able to get a proper erection without them. Even in my 20s, I was using ED pills. Now I'm 34 and with my gf, I'm still using ED pills. I'm going to try to have sex without them but I've built a psychological dependency to them. You're also very young in the sense that you have plenty of time to get girlfriends. Girlfriends are overrated when you're young as they come and go. You'll unlikely get one for the rest of your life. I'd suggest you work on yourself to become a better man, like Vendettana said, you'll become more attractive to them if you have your shit together.

    I'm on a month streak, although I feel better than I have ever felt, I still can't get erections outside of morning wood. I think i'll cry of happiness (without trying to sound too much of a whimp) the day I get my erections back. I wish I had done something about it at your age, life would've been so much better.
     
  8. very well, congratulations. keep the faith, there is no reason why it should not change.
