    Hi does anyone know anything about how PMO, PIED and DE affects the refractory period and what should happen after a successful reboot?

    I've noticed that on the first go I don't have ED and I can O no problem but on the second or third attempt there is more likely to be ED and serious DE. Will nofap reduce the refractory period or help eliminate ED and DE on second and third rounds?

    While I have never had the opportunity to test this myself (never had sex and my last long streak was ages ago) the idea is a successful reboot will re-sensitise you to "normal" sexual activity and restore the ability to perform normally.

    I think in regards to the refractory period, it differs from person to person. I assume that it would return to what it would have been if not for the negative effect of porn; what this would be would depend on a myriad of factors, such as age, health, that sort of thing.

    Refractory period is mainly regulated by prolactin, elevated prolactin can cause longer refractory periods. Maybe get a blood test to see, there are some drugs that can bring levels down, and there by shorten it.

    I feel that it plays a huge role in ref. period, but science is so much behind it...
