Having morningwood but no urges

First aim for 30 days no PMO. Then do another 30. Your urges are supposed to be less each time you try this, so it may seem hard at start, but things start getting easier from then on. If you're experiencing ED problems, and if the 30 days didn't fix your issue, after two 30 day periods, try to go 90 after that. The 90 should be definitely more than enough to fix your problem since you're only 19.

 

I'm at Day 72 and my ED problems still won't go away you're making me incredibly scared. I have a gf and nothing seems to be working

 

Throwaway, congrats on 72 days! I don't know your history but I have read it can take up to a year to fully recover but your on path. Try to focus on joyful activities other than sex. I need to heed my advice on that one.

 

I heard that having a GF would speed things up does that mean I would theoretically need a YEAR to even get a boner with a girl?

 

Did you get boners while watching porn? Or when you M-ed, were you able to get it up while watching porn? If yes, it's PIED (Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction), and it should go away after noFap for a while. Since you're 72 days in and still don't have a boner, it means you probably did it way too much than your body could handle. That's why they threw in an arbitrary '90 day' number as a standard. If you've been watching porn and jerking off since you hit your puberty, then it might take even longer. I was of the assumption that you're only 19, you started PMO-ing only recently.

If you couldn't get it up watching porn and jerking off, then it's not PIED. If it's not PIED, then you may need to consult an urologist.

 

I never could figure out how to use my hand when trying to jack off when I first started so I ended up doing it to where I didn't need an erection and I'd squeeze my dick with my thighs. I still heard that a normal reboot would work fine and I went to a doctor who said blood flow and everything was normal so I'm not sure. If it doesn't improve in a few months I might see if I can go back to the doctor

 

Also, I feel as though I must be on the step to recovery since I've completely lost urges and feel as though I'm in a flatline. I actually switched to jacking off normally a year ago but at that point I was never fully hard (it worked to the point I could actually jack it off though) thanks for all your help man

 

Hmm, I used to M by bed humping too, and I didn't know if i had steady erections. It was only recently when I too started doing it the normal way via hand that I realized the erections were weak, and also had weak erections during sex, so that's why I'm here. 33 days in no PMO and no signs of improvement yet. I'm 30 though, so I have more cause to worry. If it's psychological, you should be fine soon. Also, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. Carrots, apples I heard help a lot. Also get other vegetables. One apple, one orange, one banana, one carrot , one drumstick , etc etc. But eat fruits separately. Because eating fruits beside other foods apparently doesnt help digestion. Fruits should always been eaten at least 1 hour prior to a meal or 2 hours after a meal. 1 hour prior because fruits digest faster, while normal food takes longer to digest. Also do Kegel's exercises and lift weights. Do all this while totally quitting porn, and you will start having throbbing erections. And looking at your own hard dick makes you feel proud. It's all worth it. And imagine the astonishment of your gf when you do so. You'll be a happy man. Diet is very important apparently. Never eat Corn Flakes. Apparently it reduces libido because the maker Kellog wanted people to not M or have sex. That selfish SOB , didn't even warn us. I've been having it for the last 2 years and that's when the quality of my erections started declining. Porn I think is the main reason for my ed, but diet just supplements it. You need proper chemicals in your body for normal functioning. So be it super stimulating porn or food intake, it all makes a difference.

 

Thanks! If it's not better in like 2 months I should probably see a doctor huh?

 

Yeah. 1-2 months, then go see a doc if you can't seem to get erections by then. If you're really scared you can go see a doc even now.

 

It varies but I bet if you pray about it and ask God to show you that you are recovering you will probably feel bloodflow but don't act on it and see it as a sign your on path.

 

Morning wood is a sign of good sexual health so great news . I had no morning wood for nearly 2 years, had one 2 days ago and a stronger one last night. I've been pmoing for 12 years so I guess it's taking me longer to heal. But it's healing slowly. If you're able to get morning wood then there's nothing to worry about. Everything down there is working. You're just not horny probably coz you're flatlining. And a small erection from normal texting a girl is fine. She didn't sext, so of course you're not going to have a 10/10 erection for that. How long has your noFap lasted? If you're showing stronger morning woods in just a week, you're healing really quick.

 

You're biologically fine. But avoid porn as much as you can for ED reasons. Because Porn Induced ED is just embarrassing as hell when you are with a girl. I am 30 and I had sex 6 months ago. Well I tried to, and it didn't work. No matter what she or I did, the erection was too weak and won't last. I did penetrate her, but with a weak erection. When she and I were texting, I told her "well I'm not a virgin anymore", and she replied "you are.". I asked "What do you mean I did penetrate you"... And she said "yeah you did, but I didn't feel anything so it doesn't count". Dude, you have no idea how crushing it is hear to shit like that. All your male ego destroyed. And the worst part of it is, she actually is a nice girl and didn't say it to be mean. She was just being honest and she really thought the sex doesn't 'count'. And I love the girl too. It's been nearly 2 months since she said that, but I'm hugely mindfucked because of it. That's when I decided I needed to do something, and that's how I found noFap. Despite terrible urges at times, I've not fapped once since then. Today marks the 41st day. I would've easily given in to those urges, but what she said is just too crushing to hear, especially when it comes from a long term friend of 12 years who actually cares for me.

You're just 19. You will meet a girl someday in the near future. Just be sure you don't experience what I did.. Porn is entertaining in the short run. But long run it screws you. Even if you did P and M, make sure you keep it to an absolute minimum so you don't experience these problems.

 

Good to see you on here again my man- you get hard to porn though right? Sorry just wondering for reference

 

Yeah I can get really hard while jacking off to porn.. When I'm continually looking at porn and masturbating at the same time, it always stays hard. If I stop either one of those for a while, it goes down. I've been PMO free for the last 41 days though so I don't know current status, but I've been able to get harder by just fantasizing now (which was impossible before), but at the same time, I still can't keep up the fantasizing for a long enough time, so the erection subsides. But the fact that I can get harder while fantasizing is an improvement, also some morning woods here and there, but not everyday. Had one 5 days ago, and had one yesterday, but I never got them for 2 years or so before this. Also my size has grown when flaccid so I'm attributing all these to an improvement thanks to 41 days of no P and M.

 

I never minded the morning wood. I didn't pay attention to it so much. I guess it started happening less in frequency or I don't know what, I just stopped noticing it. I never thought it was an issue. Only while trying to have sex, this shit occured to me and after googline I realized morning wood is a good sign of good sexual health and I haven't been having them lately. What worries me more is that I'm 30 years old now, so my testosterone levels have started coming down, and I never went to gym or exercised much, so my T levels might be lower than expected. I need to take a blood test to find out but having a knee problem for the last month that I can't even go out much. So much shit happening in one month, and I'm facing depression.

As for your PIED, I wish you all the best. Good thing to cut out porn. But apparently, having sex with real girls is fine as long as it's not paid. Atleast medically speaking. Anyway, seeing you're Indian too, I guess you can't get girls to sleep with left and right anyway, like the western people do lol.
