    Hello everyone. I am in the 5th day of no PMO to fight the PIED and I have a doubt. Based on other fapstronaut's reports, I should have been experiencing some urges to watch pornography and fap, but it's not the case. In those 5 days just in the first one I had some urges but since then I'm pretty good. No Instagram models, soft porn or even any kind of sexual content. Does it mean that my condition is not so severe or that I have a strong sense of responsibility and will towards my realing process? I think about the second option because after experiencing PIED somes times in a row I've put my mind focused on getting better and better to my partners and myself.
    In addition, I would like to thank every member on this community. Everytime I feel kinda desperate I read some reports and get some help.

    Well, I would say you're on a good way. Keep it up and be grateful it is easy for you. I'm suffering from ED too, most likely PIED. For me it's easy to stay away from porn too, but I fight a lot with my horniness in general. Other than nofap I started a workout routine, healthier eating habits, I'm wearing jogging pants instead of jeans and I'm regularly using moisturizing lotion for my penis (which I've never read before and is probably controversial). I think meditation can also be helpful, but I'm still struggling with making it a habit.

    Very likely what was your peak fapping? I had moments were I fapped twice a day, but there are higher cases among otherfapstronauts.

    In my case I´m not missing fapping, but I have junk food cravings confirmed, case I used to eat lots of junk food and fap.

    Thinking that your problem is not severe may lead to relapse, so please be careful. I have quit masturbation and pornography multiple times, and for the first week or so, it was usually easy. If I got complacent or thought I did not have much of a problem, I relapsed every time. If you are suffering from ED and you suspect it is PIED, stick with NoFap for at least 90 days, and I encourage longer. That is my advice.
    Good luck!

    Usually I fapped twice a day but in some days when I was anxious and depressed I fapped four times. My PIED is kinda serious but I can easily stay away from PMO without huge urges (I still fantasize a lot about my gf)

    Yeah, I agree. I tried no PMO before when I had just delayed ejaculation also caused by P and thought that "well, just stay away for a couple days and I am good". It worked at the beginning. I stood away from PM for like 4-7 days and could have an erection and sometimes O during sex but after the pandemic I got heally hard on P and the PIED came to my life.

    Thanks, bro. We are in a similar situation. I can easily stay away from P and M but still fantasize a lot, but I think it's normal in those early stages. I have pretty healthy eating habits and exercising since last year. I don't meditate cus I think that's really boring so I prefer reading books.

    So you basically on twice the daily fap stamina output as me, you shouldnt usually fap so much, DudeAlex is right, you cant let your guard down, you´ll be back to fapping if you dont watch out, case of the habit, if you made it twice a day and double that on anxious and depressed days, you could suffer a relapse.

    The fantasy you are experiencing, is also worse than the ones I´ve been experiencing so far, in that regard I cant provide much help.
