Does P or M cause PIED?

Yes, go to an expert. If he says that there is no physical problem, you have more motivation to solve the mental porn-induced problem. But even if there is a physical problem, there are still benefits it you stop watching porn.

 

I don't even know if PIED is my issue though!!! I'm freaking out! I've told her about it; I went about 80 days and finally got a handjob and blowjob from her but I definitely wasn't fully hard. I've never been addicted to porn; I used to masturbate very frequently (incorrectly) to fantasies of real girls I knew or Facebook pics. I want to have sex; I'm not sure how else I can do it. Maybe just use the drugs once a week?

 

You had a PMO free streak for 80 days? That´s great.

I believe the frequent masturbation is bad, even more when it´s done with pressure or a lot of rubbing, maybe without lube and sexual fantasies are almost like porn in your mind.

 

So on the positive side, there was at least some progress, better than totally flaccid.
If you manage to stop the frequent sexual fantasies (not only porn) and masturbation, then the result may be better.

You could try to experiment with the dose, find out which dose you need minimum at the moment and then after improvements lower the dose further, until you don´t need the drug anymore. Hope it helped, have to sleep now.

 

The masturbation without the porn can still cause the same issues. You will never solve the issues if you cover them up with a drug.

 

Let's say I use the drugs about once a week and let's say the problem is masturbation/porn induced ED. I will go on a no porn or masturbation streak and only try to have sex with this medication. Do you think this could work effectively in rebooting?

 

No. You need to have sex or at least attempt it without the drugs. You are covering up the problem with the drugs. Just stop them.

 

I did attempt it, multiple times. I'm sorry but I'm struggling to see an issue with using these meds at least on occasion if I continue to drop porn and masturbation. Is it because you think I could become dependent on the pills? I'm not looking at this from an ethical or moral perspective on how I should be achieving sex- I literally just want to function sexually. If pills can help achieve that (eventually I wouldn't need them) that would be optimal

 

Please respond to my latest comment I'm freaking out

 

I was in the same boat as you, I ended up using a minimal dosage enough to feel it working. To be honest, it was probably more psychological than anything else, but it certainly helped as a boost of confidence, the problem is that if you dont need it for clinical reasons, it can psychologically become a crutch. So if you decide to use it and it helps,cut down the dosage the next time, then the next, etc, until you ween yourself off completely (don't prolong using it either, think of it as justs a jump start for the first couple times or so)

 

Ah ok thanks man- you can't physically become dependent on it right?

 

Nah, no physical dependency, but it can also cause tissue damage if you take more of a dose than you need especially If you don't have a medical need for it

 

Oh god oh god- well it says on the label take anywhere from 2-5 pills I believe. I'll take 2 pills at 40 MG total then. If I find it's too strong I'll cut to 1 pill. That should be ok eh? I appreciate you

 

Dude I'd suggest not fucking around with stuff like that without consulting a doctor first. Is it actual sidenafil nitrate (viag-- or cial-- ) or herbal type knock off? 40mg of sidenafil seems like a lot, Especially if you have no physical/clinical reason for using it in the first place

 

I went to a doctor first to get them, plus I'm not sure that I don't have a reason. I haven't had a firm/normal erection in years and I never get morning erections

 

Follow your doctor's advice then, but I'd say start with a lower dose and work up. That stuff can give you bad headaches and weird vision issues sometimea especially at higher doses..

 

Thanks man. It's actual sidenafil 20 mg each. As for rebooting, should I be worried about orgasm if this is PIED? I know it wouldn't cause me to use porn or masturbate

 

Can't go wrong with a hard reboot,it helps you reword your brain better I think, but if you have to O , it should definitely be with an actual person

 

Earlier this year I was on an 80 day hard reboot and it didn't seem to do a whole lot which makes me think porn isn't my issue. I never fantasize about it when I'm with my girl

 

Like I said before, if the pill works (but doesn't get me naturally on track) I could try using one a week. You seem to think that's viable too right my man? Sorry for all the questions
