PIED? How long should normal erection last?

Discussion in 'Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions' started by Deleted Account, Apr 20, 2020.

  1. Today I did a test to check if I have PIED. I masturbated without porn. I was able to get my penis up relatively fast and I reached full erection. Then I stopped masturbating to check how long erection will last and after 30 seconds my penis was half soft... Is it normal? How long should normal erection last without stimulation? Is it normal that penis got flat in one minute? I noticed the same happens while I'm watching porn. When I stop stimulating my penis is getting down fast even while I'm watching porn... I'm depressed that I can't mantain erection for long and I will never be able to have normal sex...

    Here is my background. I'm 28. I was watching porn since 14 almost every day and for the last two years maybe one time or two times a week for 3/4 hours. I discovered NoFap about a year ago when I failed in bed with gf... She was doing me a handjob and my penis was almost fully erect but when I tried to put a condom my penis got completely flat. Since then I was trying not to watch porn. My record was 76 days. Around day 70 I tried to have sex, but then again I lost my erection while trying put condom on. About half a year passed since that accident. I was trying to be porn free but my maximum was 3 weeks and then failed and again 2-3 weeks free... It's really hard for me to stop.
    Do you think my ED is porn related? I also have some spine problems and I read that it also could affect my erection but I have random morning woods and spontaneous erections so I think it's not organic problem...
    Do you think 70 days was not enough for me to cure and have normal erections? I read that guys like me who started watching porn in young age (like me when i was 14) need more than 90 days to cure like 6 or 9 months. 9 months really? I'm depressed. What will I tell my gf? She already complains about my erection problems but I don't know what to say...
    Please help guys.

    When you did 76 days was that no masturbation as well or just no porn?

    How is your libido? Do you actually feel horny? I recently went a little over two months hard mode and when I came out of the flatline I was getting hard and staying hard without touching or looking at anything, just the slightest sexual thought had me raging ... that's how it should be. Before that I was similar to what you're describing but in my case it was purely due to a lack of libido.

  3. hardmode, no porn and no masturbation. I only allowed myself to having sex - my gf was doing me a handjob a few times (maybe 3).
    there are days when I feel really horny but it depends on the day. If it's low libido how can I fix it?

    That's more likely just your brain wanting its dopamine fix.

    I don't want to speak for everyone but I get the impression that a lot of guys have fapped way beyond their libido and as a result can't actually remember what genuine "horniness" feels like anymore. A porn craving comes from the brain and personally I also get this anxious feeling in my stomach along with it, that's not libido, that's addiction. Sometimes I'll even get hard at the same time but like you said it feels disconnected.

    u are right i always masturbated because i watched porn if there was no porn
    of course i would have masturbated less
    the cycle comes like that
    porn >feeling >horny> masturbating

    the normal feeling horny >masturbating

    No I don't think that's normal, especially as you said you'll start going flat even when watching porn.

    Self-testing isn't a reliable way of seeing whether it's working fine or not. For a start you were probably a little anxious but also you likely had no reason to be aroused in the first place so it's no surprise if your erection quickly went down. As for how long it will take, who knows. For me it took two months hard mode but everyone is different. You could probably do with a full 90 day reboot with no sexual stimulation whatsoever but given you have a gf that will be difficult, maybe you could explain the situation to her.

    OP said in the first line that he tested without porn(that's what I was referring to regarding no arousal) but also later said that even with porn he loses erection if he stops touching.

    I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY KEGEL EXERCISE FOR GETTING CONTROL (SOMEWHAT) ON YOUR ERECTION.
     
  15. 30 second to 1 minute sounds normal. You should be able to get it back up when you restart the action. If you can't. Then that's a problem. Also don't get too many handjobs. I have heard that female organ feels different and if you get addicted to handjobs only, then you can't perform well inside a woman.

  16. I know that. But should I completely avoid sex? I have gf... Is it ok to have handjobs, bj during reboot? I think it's gonna be good rewiring to real partner.
     
  17. Hey Guys. I'm still on NoFap (almost hard mode bc I have gf). Yesterday we tried sex but my dick wasn't that hard to penetrete so the only thing was blowjob and handjob. But I noticed slightly better erections. The other thing I notice I was getting some erections when she was just kissing me - so probably a good sign. What do you guys think? Should I stop bj and hanjobs or let gf do it?
