Overcame PIED - What worked for me

Hi guys

So I joined the community about 19-20 days ago 'cause I found this new chick, she's in my "ideal woman" expectations and I didn't want to lose her, the first and second time we had sex I got ED out of nowhere and that teared my self-trust beyond the floor, adding that I was so anxious that also got performance anxiety; before this I had other relationships but never got PIED even though I stopped PM weeks before sex, so this first time was brutal.

19 days has passed since the last time I watched porn and masturbated, and for me this reboot time (aprox. 2 weeks and a half) worked really efficiently. 4 days ago tried again sex with her and got nice erections, lasted 15min hard, but the most important thing acomplished sex and I want to tell you that I'm really thankful because of you guys.

The things that worked for me: Obviously stop watching porn and masturbating, keeping the gym workout, eat healthy, hanging out with this girl to eat, movies, etc... and practicing each night before sleep MINDFULNESS MEDITATION, this last one helped me to concentrate in what I wanted and be more relaxed about sex. Also I established the goal for no PM hopefully never ever in the rest of my life.

I hope this works for anyone going through the same situation and don't worry, eventually you'll also get there.

 

Yeah numbed cock was one, but however I had morning woods don't know why...

 

Searching through the NoFap forum I remember I saw a thread talking about it and how it helps with performance anxiety, so I read about it in google and found plenty of guided videos in youtube; from what I have been using it, is really simple and only takes a few minutes of time in the day.
The thing is that I'm used to overthink things, a lot, but that helped me to clear everything and focus on sex, after all when you're naked with your partner you're in the peak of trust and there's no place for distrusting your own capabilities, just believe in yourself like I did and talk with your SO if you're really nervous, talking can also make you lose your bad thoughts and focus on having a great time together.

 

For me worked talking to my girlfriend about what I was going through (PIED) and the mindfulness meditation, those things especially the meditation helped to have faith in me and overcome the anxiety
