    Is there ever a point of no return where you have done too much damage to your brain by watching porn?

    Even if you relapsed several times?

    How long until I get my erections back?
     
  6. It varies but you might start to notice things changing in a few weeks. Keep going when this happens, it's not full recovery at that point

    I have had erections with my girlfriend the last 2 months but stupidly tested to porn on Sunday. No orgasm was involved though. Penis has been completely dead since. Does this mean I'm back at day 1?
     
  8. If you measure everything against a counter yes but realistically you are not where you started. Think of it in healing and what you have learned also.

    So cumulative streak count for something then? I just don't want to lose my erections now I've finally got them back...
     
  10. Your body doesn't understand a counter it follows healing. Likely things will return more quickly than they did before since you only did that once. Another thing to consider is the mental aspect. If you worry and dwell too much on being behind your mind can make that true. Take a deep breath, relax and get back to doing what was working.
    You can do this.

    Thanks mate, I appreciate the help.
    I just feel how I did on day one, as in my penis has shrunk to nothing, brain fog, low mood, the lot! I relapsed to just porn, no MO 75 days back and it didn't have this effect?
    I'm just very confused
     
  12. Hang on brother, you will get through this

    I would say definitely not. If you abstain from PMO, and receive "superpowers", that in itself shows your brain is preparing it's neural pathways.

    Yes tons of relapses including one last night. I've never had real sex so no ED that I know of. I have and could always get one off.
