    A few times recently I tested my penis by gently fondling it to see if I could give myself an erection. I don't consider this a relapse because I am not getting anywhere close to orgasm. But I know I need to be careful because it could quickly escalate into a relapse.

    But the thing is, I've been unable to give myself a fully erection doing this. Only about 50-60% erect, but sometimes not even that. Maybe I still need longer to heal, or perhaps it is actually a good sign because maybe it means I have trained myself to no longer get aroused when touched by my own hand? Or maybe I still need visual stimulation? I don't know what to think really.

    But one thing I have noticed is that my penis feels more sensitive than it used to, so I think that if I continued fondling myself into a full fap session I could prolong it for ages because it would feel more pleasurable in the early stages.

    But to give this all some context, the last time I had an orgasm was back in February. I was with a prostitute who was awful and couldn't get an erection but ejaculated while soft, but then later that night I tested myself by fapping to porn and got fully hard. I've also had some nocturnal erections during the last few months, so it seems that my penis does physically work correctly.

    So do I need to abstain for longer?

    One other interesting thing: sometimes when in bed I cuddle up to my pillow and fantasise that it's woman. When I do this I often get an erection.

    You are not getting erect because yiur mind is used Ejaculate seeing those ''perfect" bodies on the internet. Using porn alhas effected us a way that now our mind craves for something different. Example you will be really upset if you eat the same thing for a week over and over. Same is with the brain. There is no stimulation because of the same. That is where rebooting helps.

    What is the longest you have gone without PMO? And when did you feel that you had healed?

    I m still on the journey. I read about this, its simple logic. Many people posted the same.
    90 days is just a number that is expected to be heal people. But it tends to fiffer from person to person. Maybe you will be better before 90 or maybe more. Depends on your body.

    I haven't been sexual with a woman since my last failed experience back in February, so it's all a bit of a step into the unknown. I get the feeling I will probably be fine if I'm with a woman I genuinely care about, but I just don't know until I'm actually in that situation.

    Give 90 days a try and you will feel yourself
