    Feeling kinda hopeless, I keep losing erection when trying to be intimate with my wife. Wondering if no PMO works at all …. Currently 44 days in. Has anyone successfully recovered? Is PIED even real? If so how long does this take? I been watching since like 12 or 13 yrs old daily user. I lose erection when standing, and rarely get MW.

    Swear off PMO and any other addictions for as long as you can. If done properly you should gradually start to notice improvements in erection quality as time progresses. Below is a timeline I referred to when I first begun recovery - I would say it relates to a best cased scenario in terms of recovery:

    Days 1-4:
    No more feelings of shame

    Day 5:
    You’re amazed at how much cleaner you are.

    Day 7:
    Brain fog disappears

    Day 14:
    Prolactin levels start to decrease. Your body is going to start activating your old androgen receptors.

    Day 15-20:
    The NoFap flatline might kick-in.

    Day 21:
    You have a lot more free time available. Boredom kicks in.

    Day 25:
    Blue balls period is over.

    Day 30:
    Craving and urges are starting to reduce.

    Day 40:
    Girls are going to start noticing you more often. You’ll keep better eye contact

    Day 60:
    Porn induced ED (PIED) is going to become less of a problem. Complete elimination of the symptoms is going to take at least 90 days. (Heavy fappers may need 6-12 months)

    Day 80:
    Social anxiety is going to be severely decreased. You’ll be able to have conversations with strangers, and you won’t find going out as tiring as before.

    Day 90: Most internet users consider this milestone a complete reboot. This doesn’t mean you stop doing NoFap. The first 90 days are just a “cleanse”. By cleaning your mind and body, you’ve hopefully grown an appreciation for NoFap and would continue doing it for the rest of your life.

    Day 100: You’ll start eliminating other drugs, like alcohol, carbonated mineral water is going to become your friend.

    Month 3: Your memory is going to be much better. You’ll want to exercise or even start weightlifting.

    Month 4: Porn is going to look disgusting. In a deep perverse way.

    Month 6: If you had any weird fetishes, the cravings and symptoms are going to start to be going away. You’ll find enjoyment in more ordinary sexual situations.

    Month 9-12: You’ll have rock-hard erections like never before in your life. Warn your girlfriend. Sex is going to feel amazing. You’ll always outlast your partner.
