To be honest i don't know. But most important thing is that you have to stop with PM for long time, not just for these 90 or more days. I believe if you stop with it for lifetime you'll cure pied and pa.
Hey there jorg, how severe was your case? How often did you pmo and for how many years, asking so I can line your recovery time against my timeline and see where I’m at. Not being healed overall? What do you mean
At the end, pretty severe. I could be with a really hot woman and not getting it up. That made me look for answers and finally I found NoFap-forum. I used porn a lot when I was younger but not so much over the last 10 years, I got PIED because I masturbated everytime before a date with a girl to last longer in bed. This made my dopamine-receptors shut down and I got Anhedonia as well. Not being healed overall: If you have more than PIED, like depression (or in my case Anhedonia). I will do this for 9-12 months, this is the amount of time I think it will take to heal myself. If you have PIED: Expect a minimum of 90 days before you are healed (some are healed more quickly than this)
Thank you very much, I have similar symptoms I think. You had anhedonia? How were you able to interact with women? I talk to people, girls and guys I’m not attracted to or care what they think, but I can’t pull off a decent conversation. I wonder if it’s because my life is boring and I don’t know what to talk about, but talking to people isn’t interesting, I do it to not look weird... did you have trouble like I did?
It was really hard, I had to fake to have interest and fake laugh at jokes that was very funny (but my brain had to low dopamine to realize the joke). I think my anhedonia is caused by a number of things, like things in my childhood that I have suppressed and too much masturbation and porn. I feel for you. It's like I'm dead inside and have no emotions, pure hell but I keep fighting for a cure for this. I think that NoFap will cure this with time, if you just hang in there. During my 136 days, I have seen a lot of improvement but when I'm in a flatline phase, the anhedonia is back or worse than before. I think it because my brain is rewiring.
Thank you very much for you response, it has been very helpful. Gives me hope in nofap, I will carry on. Yeah, that what I think flatline is too, I think it’s your brain’s recalibration phase, that’s why people report coming out of flatline feels really good. Well, keep doing what you been doing brother, never return to the P and P substitutes and good luck. Peace love and positivty to you
idk, probably after 20-30 days things started improving a bit. I made the step on day 80 having sex for the first time in 4 years
I’m 64 days in. I think I need another 60 or so to fully heal. I’m in a flatline and get random morning wood.
Same here bro, I'm at 50days hardmode and have the same symptoms. Since this post is quite old now, could you tell me if you have recovered? I hope you have.....
My first experience was abysmal. Horrible and embarrassing. I couldn’t get my dick hard enough for sex. I feel really defeated. The second time it went much better
