Ok... so I was at a wedding again this weekend and ended up bring home a beautiful looking girl. We had sex twice once before we went to sleep and again in the morning. Again I had to fake an orgasm both times and my erection was hard but it was far from being rock solid. I have to say having not masturbated for 9 days or not having looked at any porn either. I would have thought my penis would have been like concrete. I did slow down an relax a bit more during sex so could keep it hard enough for her to enjoy but it wasn't enjoyable for me. How long more is this shit going to last. It's starting to put me off sex anybody out there going through or come through this? Also since I didn't orgasm does that mean i'm still on pmo mode? Thanks guys
Well it's not pmo because there was no porn involved. From what iv read on here it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to get better, it seems to be different for everyone. I can sympathize, it's horrible when you can't enjoy it. It might be worth doing at least a few weeks hard mode to give your brain a chance to rebalance itself.
No sexual stimulation at all. No porn, no masturbating, no sex. Ed generally improves quicker that way
I'm 13 days into it. It's been really hard at times but it can be done. I just figure if it will cure my ed quicker then it's worth the effort.
Cool do you mind me asking how old u are Mattyjsy I'm 28 feel like i should be in my sexual prime instead I feel like an old man
I'm 24 and I feel exactly the same way mate. But if so many people on this site have cured their ed then we can too. Just need to commit to it
It will most definitely take longer than 9 days. My husband gave up PMO and he still had erection issues for about 9 months. He ended up abstaining from orgasm for about 8 weeks. We still fooled around and he pleased me but we never used his penis at all, meaning no penetration, no stimulation at all. After those 8 weeks he had completely wired to me and now his ED is gone. Had he gone hard mode in the beginning perhaps he would have gotten over his ED sooner but who knows really. He is a bit older than you but he wasn't masturbating nearly as much and only got into internet porn very recently. This can come into play in your recovery. Basically how long have you been PMO? It will take a long time to reverse the damage. Stay the course and build a new life without porn and you will start having fantastic sex again!
Limeaid - there is no doubt that having sex slows down the reboot and recovery from issues like ED. The shortest route to recovery is hard mode from the outset.
Okay I'm really staring to think my penis is shrinking. When erect it's about 7-8 inches but now it just looks like an old McDonald's chip. I know what people are going to say, that of course I must be just used to seeing it erect but that's not the case. When I got to the bathroom I've noticed that it's smaller than usual. This might sound ridiculous but has anybody else experienced this? Also is edging on masturbation without orgasm?
I'm not impotent tho just struggling with sexual performance. Yesterday I began the process of coming off my anxiety medication so hopefully that combined with my NoFap will result in some improvements in the bedroom. Can I masturbate and not cum, I just feel i'm neglecting my penis, It feels like a break up ha ha we used to be so close almost inseparable
So I met with my psychologist yesterday. I told her I was experiencing some e.d. and was unsure whether the problem was masturbation, porn or the medication. She informed me that the most probably cause of the e.d. was a side effect of an ssri tablet that I'm taking for my anxiety. This side effect can strike randomly but the thing to remember is that it is physiological rather than psychological. Thats important to note as I don't want it to lead to performance anxiety. I'm now been weaned off the medication and hopefully full sexual performance will be restored in 1-2 months. I'm so relieved as at the minute I don't feel like a real man. I'm going to continue NoFap for the time being and def staying away from hardcore porn. Thanks to all of you for your help it's been vital during a tough period. I'm so grateful for all you fapstronaut's and i'll continue to post here on the forum
