    Hello, friends!
    I am successfully doing the PMO challenge and I didn't have any major issues or cravings until a few days ago. My problem is that I constantly get random erections at about a 4 hour interval...
    I can be on the street, at work or at home and "POP" my Timmy wants to feel the breeze!
    I am 37 so it doesn't have anything to do with puberty or hormones.
    I am worried that when I walk, there is friction between my clothes and my penis, which can create pleasure and I don't want to cheat on the challenge and worsen my condition.
    I admit that in the past I was moderately active and I am/was bisexual (I hope there is no discrimination here).
    I heard that masturbation and porn can cause ED, which I desperately want. But I tried it for years and it didn't work. So I decided to take the inverse approach with the PMO challenge and it worked for some time, until now.
    What should I do now?
    Thank you for your time! :)

    Hi, my thought would be to get it checked out medically. Also as far as stuff we can do ourselves the more information the better, every 4 hours is not random - it's a pattern. Maybe by doing a detailed journal you can identify what might be causing or influencing it (like the friction with clothes) and you might either be able to change things yourself or provide that information to the doctor which may end up being helpful in the diagnosis?

    FYI, your profile says your 22. I only noticed because when I saw your thread title, I wondered how old you are.

    I agree, maybe ask a doctor.

    The four hours interval is more like an average. Sometimes I get more often sometime less often.
    I get erection when I am home and not wearing any clothes so friction wouldn't apply in that case.
    I am not quite sure what should I write in the journal because I don't feel a psychological carving, it is something purely physical, if you know what I mean. Suddenly I just feel a pulsation and a pressure that doesn't go away for a few minutes.
    I will go to the doctor.
    Thank you for the advice! :)

    I didn't want to give personal information and I thought being younger would make me more relatable. :p
    Thank you for the advice!

    You want ED? You sure about that, now? Here, have mine, I've no need of it!

    Trust me, you don't want it.

    I desire to achieve total abstinence and not being able to do it is much easier than constantly suppressing it. I would give you my condition if I could!
    I even considered castration, but unfortunately it has negative effects on your health and quality of life... :(

    ED doesn't (AFAIK, and at least not in my case) remove or negate the desire, only your ability to act upon it; impotent urges can be hugely frustrating. What you want (!), by the sound of it, is flatlining, rather. Or, yes, castration would probably also do the job, but it seems awfully final and extreme, don't you think?

    Yes, it certainly is an extreme solution, but I am not in a situation with a lot of options and if my sexual desire acts up(which it probably will) I will be in an even worse state... For me, everything will be a trigger...

    There are plenty of people out there who can offer a lot more than I ever could so no one is going to miss me. It is an interesting perspective, thou!
    Thank you for your comment! :)

    Next time you get a boner try flexing a muscle. I prefer my bicep and it makes my erection go away in under 60 seconds.

    One thing I think is getting interested in the patterns, I think people can be too caught up in the psychological stuff so the even after relapse they are beating themselves up. One thing I intend to do is just accept it happened but look at the situation.. I was thinking of a line for signature "Learning from the loss of every battle to win the war."

    I tried this method, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work for me... :(
    Thank you for your advice, thou!
