    So I've been struggling with this reboot since September now and I'm really worried about my sexual health as far as erections go. It seems now that it's harder than ever to get an erection even if I'm watching the most hardcore porn there is. I only get slightly aroused when I fantasize but it's nothing to shake a stick at(no pun intended). I feel like it would almost be impossible to get a full on raging woody at this point and it scares me to death that I'll never be fixed. Is there any hope for me? Is there any other fapstronauts out there that have experienced this extreme level of impotency? Is it my dopamine receptors or what? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

    You have been struggling with this reboot since September... And I'm wondering to myself what you could possibly be expecting. I hope you are aware that porn-induced ED is very curable, but you need to reboot first. And you haven't.

    I think once you reboot like beauty said it will help a lot. Give your self a very hard goal and go
    for it. Getting rid of Ed sounds like a terrific reason. Also look for a few more reasons. For instance the girls in the films are treated like dirt.. Etc

    I like you suffer from porn induced ED. It's serious. This is our lives man. From what I've looked into the reboot is gonna be a long painful process. If your anything like me you've been looking at porn for a very long time. These pathways and reward circuits are embedded deep in our brains. It could take up to a year of no PMO no nothing before we get back to healthy erections. As time passes our brains will start to make new pathways and we will again be turned on by natural sexual experiences ie real women, not pixels on a screen. It has also been said that in some cases not even porn will do it anymore, so it sounds like your in that boat. Don't be scared man. Know that it is curable and you will get there, but your gonna have to put the work in dude. It's gonna be more than a month or two, but you can do it. And like changeofdavid said what better motivator is there than pied. Just keep in the fight brother. If you fall get back up. We will get there my friend!

    Given what you have said, I take it that porn is still in your life.

    First off block porn on your computer. I use a combination of "K9 Web Protection" and "Cold Turkey".

    Cold Turkey is actually a tool for people who have a tendency to get distracted. You set a schedule for when and how long certain websites and applications are blocked from being usable. However, I have found it extremely useful in helping with my reboot because once set it cannot be turned off until the time is up. So I've typed in porn sites that I liked visiting and even some sites that are not porn but are triggers, and set the schedule for 24 hours every day for the maximum 1 month period. I use K9 to block all unknown sites that I find and as a reminder but Cold Turkey insures that I cannot simply turn off K9 and visit my favorite porn sites. This combination was instrumental in getting me through the 30 day streak I recently had.

    Obviously, once that month is up you have to reset Cold Turkey but it is simple to do and it really does help.

    Secondly, stop touching yourself. You're making Jesus, Jahovah, Allah, Buddah, Satan, Science, whatever deity you believe in cry!!!! Also I told your mom and now she is lying in her bed sobbing. :p

    Seriously though, stop touching yourself. VanillaMochi actually has a good approach to preventing problems in that area. Every time he has sexual thoughts he snaps a rubber band, that he keeps around his wrist. I personally don't do this, I would forget about the rubber band. But it is a good idea and worth a try.

    Get resolved my man. Make Resolution and stick to it through thick and thin, through success and failure until you reach your goal, no matter how long it takes. It either you'll give in or the PMO will give in and that's the reality. I posted something a on Resolution recently, check it out here: http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?26088-Tired-of-Resetting-The-Answer-is-RESOLUTION

    You can do it bro, remember, persistence is key! Just keep punching and trying all the different tactics and tricks that resonate with you, I personally prefer just going hard mode with no software, no nothing, just a decision and that's it. It works for me, not for everyone, do what it takes for you... You future is worth it, you've suffered enough!

    Keep going...
