    Hi all,

    In the last 2 months I seem to be able to have sex with my girlfriend, and it's the best feeling ever!
    The issue is I rarely get morning wood and I can't get an erection at all on my own.
    There are also times it won't work during sex, and the erections goes down the second I have ejaculated.
    Has anyone experienced this after nofap?

    How long will this take?
    I mean I had streak of 4 months and managed to get erect with my girlfriend for a while.
    Then yesterday I looked at porn to test the erection. It was fairly easy to achieve but now I'm worried I've lost alot of progress and won't get hard with her now
     
  5. That's just the new adjusting.
    Don't worry and enjoy the sex with your girlfriend.
    It's just natural at the beginning, that your dick goes weak after the "job" ;).

    Keep going

    Would having looked at porn for just 5minutes have sent me back to square one?
    I didn't PMO, just looked to see if it would work
    Like I could feel the dopamine hit last night and just feel like shit today.
     
  7. Yes it would. A person who is addicted to alcohol and wanted to quit, relapse if he/she drink 5ml of Vodka....

    Yeah I know ( kind of obvious, if your write about your last sex :D)

    Remember the feeling and keep going. If the next urge wave come, remeber that feeling and battle it with that.

    You're able to handle your challenge :)

    Thank you for the positive words mate.
    I always worry this is going to be permanent and I will lose my erections again and then lose my girlfriend as a result

    Just hope I've not done much damage and I can reverse it again

    I hate porn!
     
  9. No problem, bro.

    That won't be happen.
    The most important thing is:
    Dont put pressure on you or your dick.

    If you do that, not just you, me and every else man would have disfunction.

    That's the Clou.
    Don't pressurely overthink it and stop PM and I promise you by heart:
    Everything will be rocky hard and fine :D
     
  10. In my experience only a full blown relapse will put you back to square one I can’t comment on watching for 5mins. Hopefully you didn’t do too much damage. Just don’t do it in the future mate! Good luck.

    How long you been having problems mate?
    Have you done a long stream yet and seen improvement?
     
  12. To be quite honest mate I’ve struggled with symptoms for years, I’ve had erection issues since I was 18-19 that was 6 years back. Yea I’m nearly a year, the process is ever so slow. Still have a shrivelled dick. There have been days where I have had spontaneous wood and morning wood but they don’t come too often.

  14. "Would it help?" :p
     
  15. There are days yes. But I had sex a few times this year and even though they weren’t 100% hard they were good enough for penetration. I don’t think it is permanent just the brain needs to readjust. The damage porn does to your brain is mental and should not be taken as a joke.

    Well it would help you begin to know whether to bother trying to have sex or not and just get on with life.

    It's horrible wondering whether or not you'll be able to get hard again
     
  17. If I remember correctly I think I MO’d (sensation) once after this and it threw me off balance with my erections. After having sex numerous times with my lady friend I was about to get it semi hard by mental thought but now it won’t respond.

    Glad you've managed and seen improvement!
    It's very true, I literally feel like just a glimpse to see if I could still get hard has sent me right back, I feel like shit today and my libido is literally nothing!
    I've been clean for months and feel like I'm right back to the start.
    I've not orgasmed to porn for 162 days and my relapses have only been me testing an erection!
     
  19. If anything at the moment I’m noticing a bit more of a clear head and mental benefits to tell the truth mate so something is telling me something is working.
