  1. So I’m on day 33 my plan is to go 180 days I’m not completely sure how long I have had this problem may have been a year or 2 did not really realize because I was using porn and could get an erection to that but it lost its strength over time and I got to a point where I could not even think sexual thoughts and get one I had to visually look at porn I’m just wondering what you guys went through so I can know what to expect I hope I can recover within my first 3 months but I’ve pushed my recovery to 6 I really hope it does not take me any longer then that because I’m completely abstaining and want to get a girlfriend but I want to recover first I’m about to turn 26 and I am not sure if age has anything to do with recovery so I’m putting it out there how are you guys doing with tour recovery or if you recovered how long did it take you?

    don't worry pied is easy to fix. just abstain from pmo and you'll def get an erection with a girl. also when you get in bed with her don't force things, take it slow watch a movie with her and once you feel her buttcheeks on your groin you'll get hard.

    i thought pied was anxiety related but i went through an extremely anxious phase and got hard when i got with a girl. a year prior i was watching too much porn and couldn't get hard in a relaxed setting.

    it will definately get better, i'd say give it a month pmo and you're set.

    Okay, so, after my last relapse last month (april 12) I made some major re-adjustments. I decided that if I was relapsing it was because there was a problem with my goal. Indeed, I was correct. I originally begin noFap to aid in my PIED recovery also, my flat line and PIED came the week of my birthday in March which was really a downer for me. I'm not 100% cured, however, I've made it to day 43 and each day i've become more stronger in my control over will power. I've been noticing for the past couple of weeks that my libido is slowly coming returning. I'm still not waking up with my erections, however, throughout the day I am noticing way more semi-erections then when I first begin. The day I begin noFAP I immediately went into a flat line. Also, the other night like (3 nights ago) I had a wet dream since being on noFap (but the 1st wet dream I have had in about 3 years). Anyhow, i'm still in a semi-flat line but I am seeing some amazing progress and I am so happy! My point is recovery is possible only if we don't rush it and go with the flow. Once I readjusted my goals and decided to not do noFap to get back to sex but for the better control of my life I begin noticing my recovery process and embraced the process. Seems like we're on the right track just take time to let your brain heal and recover but in the meantime as I did pick up some new hobbies or things you've always wanted to try. Also, this noFAP process is a catalyst to supporting other goals that you set; i've been trying to add muscle to my body for years because I was tired of looking like a cup of play dough and my physique is finally coming in because I had to put my fapping energy somewhere else.
    Best of Luck
