    Hello, I'm a 16 year old male with ED. I have been watching porn since I was 10, and have used it to "get off" consistently everyday since then. I'm a relatively social human and I love being with friends. Ever since about 6 months ago I started experiencing anxiety and in the past month I have been feeling depressed. I know this has to do with my Porn addiction.

    I'm on a one week streak of NoFap, and it has only made me feel worse. On the bright side, I woke up this morning with morning wood for the first time in 1.5 years. On the dark side, I've had a feeling of a mental fog effecting my hearing and eyesight ever since day 4. I can only get erect from porn and physical stimulation. I can't say I'm flatlined because I feel like I have been flatlined for the past year. I get no erections while looking at women in real life, only in front of the screen. I've had the opportunity to get with girls but I could never get it up. I think of my self as an attractive guy, but I can't build a relationship with women because of my problem. My addiction is ruining the one part of my life that I want the most, the ability to be intimate with others. I'm on here looking for support and to know if what I have is common.

    I'm concerned because I started watching porn since I was 10 and I engraved it into my mind. I feel no satisfaction or stimulation from real life. I literally have had girls reaching for my __, but I had to wiggle away because I knew I wouldn't be able to get hard. I just want this feeling of emptiness and embarrassment to be over. Has anyone experienced what I am going through? I've had no increase to libido in the past week of no PMO. I feel like I've made some form of progress, though, because I had morning wood for the first time this morning. Is there an expected recovery time for what I'm going through? I've never used porn more than 3 times a day, and for an hour in total, but what scares me is the amount of time I've been using it and the consistency I've had since I started. Last night I had insomnia like sleep patterns. On day 7 and fight to day 90. Join me on my journey to freedom. Please give feedback, whether support or your experiences, I'll need it. Thanks for reading this.

    I forgot to mention I have general feeling of discomfort. Like a mixed feeling of nausea and hunger.

    Hey man, don't worry! One thing I've learnt is to not wait for progress. If all you do is wait until you have no social anxiety, it'll feel like a lifetime until you actually get there. And in fact, you probably won't even get there because your thinking is always oriented towards 'is my anxiety gone yet.' What you need to do, is realize that nofap is a whole new lifestyle that you're taking on. With a new lifestyle, comes a new mindset, and new habits. You need to eat healthy, sleep healthy and keep healthy. Good food means good willpower, good sleep means clear thinking, and good fitness means good self esteem, and all these things put together mean a strong man. By good sleep, I don't mean oversleeping either, getting 8-9 hours each night is what you need. Anyways, like I said, don't wait around counting the days to see if you've made progress. Instead, go out and live life to its fullest, and do things that you enjoy (obviously not PMO..), just indulge in the nofap and enjoy the ride that your journey takes you along. Only then is when you'll really start seeing the benefits.

    Do you know how long it generally takes for a guy like me to get his mojo back. I'm struggling with ED right now and I know it's because of PMO. I just want to have a normal libido of my age... I feel like I'm missing out on life, you know? I'm 16 years old by the way.

    I'm not sure man, but if I had to guess I'd put it at a month.
