Is morning wood proof that you haven’t got full blown impotence?

    This sounds like a really dumb question I know, but let’s say for peace of mind sake.

    does morning wood show that you are physically heathy in that department and the reason we can’t get it up
    When it matters is because porn has ruined our brains. Surely morning wood is a good sign that physically we are capable and it’s not full blown impotence?

    I'm new to Nofap here but have been following the practice of abstinence for some time. From what I know, morning wood is nothing to be worried about, it's an indication of a healthy blood supply and a good sex-drive, and since porn practically eliminates one's sex-drive I would say that morning wood is actually a good sign that your brain and the rest of your body is on the way to recovery.

    Yes, the doctors used to have you put a series of stamps around your shaft and if you woke to them being broken apart it was proof you could physically get an erection. I’m 44 and have experienced stress related issues the first time I was with someone new. You have to accept certain things and not let it tank you. I have some nights that are just about her and I tell her this. When she starts begging I keep to my word and it drives her mad. I can normally go at after a bit of teasing and her coming a couple of times.

    Yes morning wood means ur dick works but if u can't get it up with real sex is vus u fried your brain and the person in front of you isn't will to do what you saw in porn and ur brain isn't getting the same dopamine and arousal so ur penis just gets sad and is like you know this vanilla sex isn't what I like and it just goes back to its slumber

    As others have said, morning wood confirms the plumbing is working as it should. Which shouldn't be taken for granted. It is possible to mess yourself up enough that you are functionally impotent by which I mean you can only get erect with P and your own hand and might not even be able to sustain a hardon then. This was my situation and I didn't have morning wood for years. Once I started getting on streaks the morning wood started to come back. I'm at 42 days of no PMO at the moment and not only are morning woods back (they've been for a while) but I get hard just being close to a pretty woman. Which has its own set of complications but is sure a lot more fun to deal with than before! ;)

  6. Yes, no doubt about it. Performance anxiety may be the issue.
