    I nearly cured my PIED but eventually relapsed around day 82 when I declined the offer of a girl to go home with her. I didn't want to break my streak (foolish i know, especially at 82 days with a REAL girl), and the tension that night was too much. Since then I have fallen back to my old ways. I thought I was there, and now I am back at day 3..... I will start making more posts about NoFap.

    In terms of rewiring, it depends on how much your system is already wired to females. I had physcial contact with girls from a very early age already, and had multiple times of succesful sex before I got PIED, so I presume my rewiring will be less than someone who hasn't had sex before doing NoFap for example.
    So to answer your question; rewiring is very beneficial, but you can do that by hugging girls, kissing girls, flirting with girls, and of course, by having sex with girls. The more you do it, the stronger you will be wired to them.

    It really did help with libido. But I recommend against it in the early days of NoFap since it can make urges even stronger. I noticed that whenever I took ginseng my energy would rise, but my libido as well and when I was still experiencing withdrawals, ginseng was not helping with bringing me urges. I would recommend taking it later in the reboot and only in the mornings so it's effect will not deter you from sleeping well

    Hello brother. I consider myself fully cured. I have 0 erectile problems as of today (I had a strong case of PIED) and PMO has no place in my life anymore. Porn disgusts me now. I would rather hang myself than watch porn again. I am still on this site daily. Mostly to check for messages since there are a couple of guys that ask me for help each day. I do intend to finish this success story, but I've got a big training weekend with the military from tomorrow, so it will either come today or Sunday when I get back.

    Thank you for the kind words. Just as I was helped on this site, I am now helping the newcomers. That is what this forum is all about: helping each other

    Most meds and supplements are best taken during a meal. Ginseng is probs the same. Never apologize if you didn't do anything wrong by the way. I suggest taking the recommend amount on your bottle as long-term ginseng use can be harmful. Trust me, I've lost feeling in my toes due to overdosing Vitamin B-6. I also suggest eating a shit tonne of garlic. L-arginine will help a lot too. Vitamin D is also a must for testosterone buildup. I always just took 1 pill of ginseng in the morning, cant remember the dosage

    That is a very hard question. In my last streak I had good erections for sex consistently around day 100-120. There were still some fluctuations, especially in morning wood, but I think that around day 150 or something I was mostly healed. I've read that many more small improvements happen up to 2 years, so that would mean that I am still recovering now. But, I think around day 100-120 I could have considered my PIED to be a thing of the past

    NoFap Hard Mode. So no PMO. You know, the classical challenge that perhaps 80% or people on this forum do

    Hey Bro I know your not a Doctor or anything but I was wondering if you could maybe self diagnose me okay so here’s the problem that I’m not even sure is a problem, so it’s not that I’m unable to get hard...1.) it just doesn’t feel as hard as it used to be & 2.) it doesn’t last! I don’t watch porn daily but I watch it a lot & I masturbate a lot (which is healthy not an issue) but the porn part might be however I will mention I’m on new medication and they upped my dosage from 40ml to 80ml and this medicine can cause ED in people who take it, it’s a very dangerous medication called Acutane! I’m going to my Dermatologist tomorrow to see if this is being caused by the medication itself or another issue, but I’d also like your opinion! I’ve been with a lot of people and getting “it up” in person has never been an issue, my GF lives in FL and I see her every few months cause I live elsewhere last time I had sex with her a few times but the last time I couldn’t get it up but I think that was because I had just ejaculated less than 2 minutes prior, but she’s been sending me nudes and normally like a healthy 20 year old male that should make me hard immediately but it doesn’t! I’m not seeing her for another month but I don’t wanna get there and be like “my bad I don’t know why this is happening” so regardless of what the doctor says I’m going to follow your routine!! But yeah bro just lemme your opinion or if you have any follow up questions! Thanks for being open bout this man! Props to you

    Doesn't really sound like anything else than PIED imo. I was 20 too when my PMO habits started to get bad to the point where I couldn't get erections anymore. I thought it couldn't do harm and I was not that much of a heavy porn user. Do not underestimate what years of PMO abuse can do to you, even if symptoms are only arising just now after many years of use. This is a silent killer and many people think there is something wrong mechanically with their penis while it was just their brains pulling the stops on your dick.

    For as far as I can judge by your text given, you are just a PIED sufferer like almost all of us. The medication could be a factor though too. I do not know that med, but any meds are to be avoided if not needed. Now if you really need them, then follow your doctor, but this med could be contributing to ED. But these questions should be asked to your doctor

    Thanks for the response bro! I’ll definitely take that into considering, I don’t have a problem getting erections I just feel like it’s less hard then usual which is weird cause twice today without porn just by talking about stuff with my GF it was just as hard as normal kinda switches up
