    Shrivelled penis!

    I can’t be the only one that is experiencing this. For the last I’d say 3-4 years my porn addiction has been out of hand. So for these 3-4 years as you can imagine I’ve had no sex drive. But the thing that is annoying me the most is that my penis is always shrivelled up. Exactly like you would expect after getting out of the sea or having a cold shower. It’s always shrivelled (most of the time).

    Before anyone says “maybe that’s just the way it is”. I know that it isn’t. I remember way back when. I used to have like a heavy, floppy flaccid penis. Back before my porn addiction got out of control. And at the same time I would easily get aroused at anything.

    So from my observation I can only come to the conclusion that when you’re addicted to porn. Your sex drive will go way down. And your dick will shrink along with it. Smaller erection due to being desensitised and smaller flaccid.

    So what I need to know is. Is anyone else going through the same thing? Has anyone gone through the same thing, beaten porn and then come out the other side with their normal flaccid back?

    I’ve read a couple stories of people with similar situations but I need to know if anyone else is going through this.

    Yes, I can relate. My penis shrunk a lot when I used PMO. But if your penis is flaccid even when you're excited, then you have PIED. I always had normal or decent erections, but after my PMO sessions my penis would get very small, just like you described, after taking a cold shower.

    Just for the record, in the mornings my penis is all swollen everyday, but sometimes it gets small just like before.

    What is your longest streak? JakeWoods, I have a shrivelled penis as well. How did you get yours? By abstaining?

    No I didn’t get it from abstaining. It came on gradually and stayed.

    I remember I was heavily binging on porn. Watching hundreds of different clips a day. This is easy to do on tumblr. I would follow pages where there was just loads of different clips. So I could just keep on scrolling down with a new short clip every 3 seconds. I did this for months and then I started to notice that nothing was turning me on anymore and that my penis was lifeless and shrivelled up. So it came on around the same time that I started to get PIED. And I still struggle now to get an erection and I have zero sex drive. I’m trying to figure out if the being shrivelled all the time has something to do with the no sex drive?

    Like if I had normal, healthy sexual desires, would my penis be how it used to be when flaccid. Like it would be thicker, heavier, more floppy haha. Now it’s just straight up shrunken inside like I’m constantly freezing. Even when I’m hot.

    Sounds like a bad case of PIED. It was same for me.

    That is happening to me, too. I am new to this site and this is my first streak of no PMO, and I have had this question and concern as well. I guess I am glad that I am not the only one, but I hope it gets better for the both of us!

    Thanks, Tt1000, for assuring us that it gets better!

    For me it started to improve within 2 weeks and has continued to improve. Even though I’m cut, sometimes it looks like I’m not.

    Mine hasn't improved yet, so perhaps I just need longer. Thanks!

    Everyone's results vary. I was to the point before NoFap that I couldn't get hard and stay hard even when I had 100 mg of V in me. It didn't matter if I was having sex with my wife or looking at P. That still didn't keep me from M to the point of O. Only at that moment would I briefly be hard. Couldn't complete sex with wife. I was frankly amazed at how quickly things improved when I started NoFap. It wasn't overnight and wasn't immediately perfect, but now after the 90 day reboot, it's some of the best sex I've ever enjoyed, even when I was young. P hasn't always been a problem, but M was. If I'd only known then what I know now, I could have been enjoying better sex all along and making it much better for my wife as well. From this point on, I will always argue with those who say M doesn't hurt anything and may, in fact, have healthy benefits. In some situations that may be true, but not in a committed relationship where there are other healthier options for sex the way it was meant to be.

    So you got your shriveled penis just by masturbating to porn more and more as well and NOT by abstaining from porn? Wow, same here! I've had mine for close to 2 years now. It SUCKS! I hate it. I was also heavily binging on porn as well. My penis shriveled up within a timespan of 1-2 days after masturbating and edging as well to photos.

    What was the timespan of your gradual shriveling of the penis?

    Same here, even had a shrivler in front of a naked woman i fancied. You need to stop pmo'ing not in the morning or next week but right now. I had same issue, now nearly 2 weeks in its less shriveled and looking much less lifeless

    My recent experiences with masturbation have been rather disappointing. It would take me a long time to get hard and eventually O. I haven't tried V, but I was looking into it before I came here. I was also having a difficult time with sex with my girlfriend. Our last attempt was 2 weeks ago, in which I could not maintain an erection. This is what led me to look into NoFap in the first place. I wanted to improve my sex life with my girlfriend, but after reading some of the things that other users were writing, I want to improve other aspects of my life as well! I have found that I had way too many of the symptoms that are common to those with PIED.

    I am unsure where I fall on the M doesn't hurt anything debate. I tend to think of it as relatively harmless, if done in a healthy way. I wasn't using it in a healthy way, and I see that now. Thanks, again.

    I'm not sure very many, if any, men do use M in a way that could be described as healthy, based on what I've experienced myself and read when investigating PIED.

    I don’t know the exact time span that it happened. But it seemed to be pretty quickly. I specifically remember that I was binge watching porn for months on tumblr. Then I realised that absolutely nothing was arousing me. Even hardcore porn. Even with 2 different videos on at once it wouldn’t turn me on. My dick would just be completely shrunken. Now I could force an erection, but it wouldn’t actually be an erection. It would be like a dick that was hard, but not fully inflated. The tip wouldn’t even get hard. It’s like even when I see real women. I acknowledge that they’re pretty and attractive, but I feel no sexual desire at all. Like I don’t get that caveman urge to rip their clothes off haha. Instead I just have a shrivelled up dick. Shits depressing hahaha

    I guess I'm open to it being considered universally harmful, but I'm not convinced. I tend to think that there are people who can M without it being a problem, just like there are many who can use alcohol, gambling, etc. without it having a negative impact on their lives. Of course, I could be wrong.

    I could be wrong too, but why would a person want to take the risk?
