Let's give this a try

[DeltaPi8]

I am 35 and I have been struggling with porn addiction for at least ten years, probably more. In 2018-19 I had a series of failures in my relationship and career. I returned to my hometown to start from scratch. But then my father got cancer (he died two years ago) and then it was the quarantine and all of this... During that time porn (and weed) stood as crunches for me, or at least this is how I thought back then, and I started using even more, both in frequency and intensity.

During the past 3 years I have severe PIED. I didn't even knew about this thing until after it became a thing. Of course I had been dealing with mild PIED for more, but since I rarely had sex during this period, most of the women I got were reasonably hot and kink and since I usually was arranging not to masturbate for 3-4 days before, the symptoms were manageable, still some times I had to rely on pills. I am facing milder PIED problems for a decade or so, but I hadn't connected the dots before.

During the last year or so I have been trying to quit porn altogether, not only because of the PIED, but also because this thing has started to get financially unaffordable. The amounts I have spent are already ridiculous and I have dropped my living standard sin order to afford it. I live in fear that the few people I have left will find out and I couldn't really manage this right now.

Anyway, I want my life back. I have clear goals and everything, but after the failures I mentioned, I don't really believe in myself that much. It 's not that I am constantly moping, but I have a lot of ups and downs. I have quit weed and other harmful habits, but PMO is something else... It is too easy to get it and harder to resist.

I would like to limit my masturbation to probably once per month or so and to never use porn again in my life. I hope to find some support in this community and to support others if I see progress.

1.What about while watching porn now do you need constant physical stimulation to stay aroused?
2.when you get erection while sitting did you loose them instantly if you stand up

I am on my 20th day of abstaining so I will not be experimenting with this very soon.

But generally speaking yes, I couldn't maintain an erection without touching myself even with porn, except from the occasions when I wouldn't have had a session and/ or an orgasm for a week or so. In those cases I usually could maintain an errection. But since most of the times this would happen I would binge in porn and edge over and over for hours, even in those cases I was finally losing full erection before the end of my long-hours session. Similarely, I could perform with certain women provided I wouldn't have jerked for several days, which was increasingly hard for me to mannage though. Also, even then, I wouldn't be able to go for a second round or even to have sex again the next day (and cum) -- at least not without pills.
I don't really know about the standing up thing... It certainly wouldn't help. Without being 100%, I think that I would loss my erection soon after I was standing up. Why is this important thought?

I also didn't have morning woods when I was not abstaining for several days and when I had they would normally fade after a minute or so. Now that I abstain for 20 days I have them more frequently but they still fade very soon.

Keep fighting man! I've dealt with porn addiction for years too, and it is legitimately the worst thing I have ever repeatedly experienced. You can beat it. Seriously. Just keep going.

I you have these symptoms like no morning wood or get loose after 2 ,3 seconds and no standing erection and also you need physical stimulation to turn yourself on so don't trust me this PIED you are long term addict i can take awhile for you to recover full and don't overuse pill gove your self rest probably for 1 year and to motivate you i also have same symptoms and i didn't use porn for so long like you i am 19 now and i started PMO like 13 or 14 something you have to no PMO as a challenge and also are worried about recovery i am worried even though i know i will be recovered.

1 question -do you need hand stimulation to be erect and if you withdraw your hand from your penis during masturbation does your erection goes down.
