    Hello, new here. Some background: I'm 21 years old and have been prone masturbating since an early age, probably 7 or something, and never done it the normal way. I also started using porn when I was 15, and I started slow but eventually was watching it once a day for 10-15 minutes just to get off.

    I'm posting here because I recently had my first chance to have my first sexual experience with a girl, or more like two chances, but could not get very hard or really aroused at any time. The first time I blamed nerves and weed, but the second time I admitted to myself and to her that I might a problem. I immediately began searching for answers as to why my dick wasn't working and came upon this, as well as YBOP and the healthline article about prone masturbation, all of which I read.

    I have decided to embark on a nofap journey, and as of posting this I am at a week already! I have given up prone masturbation, and right now am not trying to learn the normal way and instead just going hardmode for 90 days, unless I can somehow regain the ability to have sex before then. Also gave up porn, fantasizing, really anything with artificial stimulus.

    Since I started a week ago I have had instant flatline, with feelings of depression, low energy, nonexistent libido, generally feeling like shit. I am still resolved to do this though, and I quit weed and alcohol recently too in case that helps. Also am continuing to lift, drink lots of water, and eat healthy.

    My question is if anyone else has a similar background, and if so, what the recovery time roughly would be? I have read alot of the posts here on the subreddit and on the NoFap forums, and while many speak of overcoming PIED, not many involve overcoming prone masturbation along with PIED. I know it is relatively rare, and wish I had known it was harmful sooner, but do others have a recovery story from it to help me stay positive? I read this one https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?t...urbation-updated-june-2020-3-theories.174834/ and it seemed like it was similar to me, but does anyone else have experience with this? I am never proning again, made that promise to myself, but how fast can the lost sensitivity return? Thank you for any advice, good luck people!
