    I don't know if I have PIED but I'm not sure because I'm a virgin and have never been able to see for real. How do I know I have it then? Without embarassing myself on my first time that is.

    I have watched porn for 7 years with some short breaks. I was not a heavy user ever and my PMO sessions would usually be about 10 mins. I'm 23 and started when I was 15.

    Since I am a virgin and never had sex to be able to tell for sure, could I have PIED? I get morning wood pretty consistently every morning, sometimes my morning boners are so long they stay there for 10 to 15 mins delaying me from getting up and starting my day. Can you have PIED while still getting morning wood?

    Because I realize a morning wood has to do with the testosterone cycle, while PIED has to do more with dopamine correct? Maybe my testosterone is good but dopamine system is fucked? Anyway to know?

    I can get an erection from fantasizing too by the way. Just thinking sexual thoughts in my head can give me a pretty strong erection. With that said I probably don't have PIED but I just want to be sure so I don't embarass myself.

    Thanks, on day 44 btw!!! Just coming out of a flatline right now.

    If you get MW that is a pretty good sign that you are healthy, but... If you had some girl it would be way easier to check if you have PIED. In your situation maybe best way would be if you can get hard easily only with your hand without porn and without fantasy. So if you can get hard only by touch and stay erect for some time than 90% you don't have PIED, but if you stay limp or get semi erect than maybe you have light version of PIED.
    My advice: even if you do not have PIED start NOFAP, because you are going to reach full potential and every task will seem easy. There are 100 benefits and can't determ which one is the best. Start Nofap from tomorrow and make it lifestyle. I wish i've started Nofap yeeaars agoo! Best of luck
    P. S. It is not easy not gonna lie about that but the rewards are endless

    I just checked. I masturbated lightly for a few mins and realized I was getting a pretty strong erection. This was without fantasizing. I was very careful though, as to not break my streak.

    AWESOME! I don't have PIED.

    I am glad! Than 99% you don't have PIED, but it doesn't mean that you should continue with masturbation and watching porn. Nofap benefits are endless!!
