You could try kegels exercise and do squats which could really help in ed

 

First you take care of your health and mange your diet plan that grow your strength.

 

Wauw @Fevasu , it is like I am reading a story about myself when reading your story. I am currently on day 351 of Nofap (No Porn, No Masturbation) and I had sex 2 times two days ago with my girlfriend. The reason I started Nofap was unexplained erectile dysfunction which is cured now. Let me give you some advice points:

1. COMMUNICATE: This is maybe the most important one. Tell you girlfriend what you are experiencing on sexual level with your erections. Tell her how you are planning to fix this and how she can be a partner in this. This takes a huge amount of pressure from your shoulders which only makes this easier. She will understand when you are not fully hard and will not think that she may be the cause.

2. Stop masturbation: Do not only stop porn but also masturbation. I have seen many guys who have stopped porn but continued to masturbate. It is a slippery slope and not wise. Stop masturbation, you will be fine.

3. Stop fantasizing: Your brain does not know the difference between porn on a screen and porn in your mind. Stop sexualizing everything and let your brain heal. Do not release dopamine in the journey. The reason that you have ED because of porn is because the brain does send weaker and fewer signals to your penis because of the fact that you have desensitized yourself and your dopamine receptors because of your porn consumption.

4. Stop social media (Instagram/Facebook): The pictures of hot women and sexy bodies will only delay the healing process. You will still release some dopamine when looking at these pictures. Not a good idea. Do not delete your account but delete the app, when you are on a nice holiday you could still post something. Here is a link with scientific research about this --> https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/reb...gram-are-giving-me-ed-just-like-porn-used-to/

5. Do not sexualize women: When you see a hot girl or woman on the street do not look at her but, tits or whatever, because this releases dopamine.

6. READ READ READ READ, there are many science-based articles about the relationship between porn use and Erectile Dysfunction. One of the founders of this whole movement is Gary Wilson and he has some very very good articles on Yourbrainonporn.com. I also advice his book called: Your Brain On Porn. It really helped me.
