What is causing my ED?

How many times a day do you usually fap?

 

Honestly it’s PIED. I know you want a different answer but that the cause. Everyday for 9 years is a lot of jerking off. My dick would have fallen off.

 

Isn’t it worth a try at this point?

 

I have clincal depression and take antidepressants where a major side effect is ED. My ED is medication induced but even a little porn aggravates it. The pills haven’t worked for me. NoFap hard mode and 5 grams of L Arginine a day have brought my dick back to life.

 

Out of interest what do these other studies recommend you do instead of NoFap?

 

The placebo effect is psychological, not physical. So even if NoFap only works for someone as a "powerful" placebo then that person was clearly suffering from a psychological problem.

Not sure where the 10% comes from. Remember: 57.3% of all data is simply made up.

In your situation I would refrain from Fap for at least as long as it took to experience morning wood. That will show that the plumbing works just fine, and it is a psychological problem.

Leave the little guy alone. Give him a break! After working non-stop for 9 years surely he's earned himself a rest.

 

That's not morning wood - it sounds more like morning pulp. Your symptoms are classic PIED.

I'm afraid there is no fast solution to a problem that was 9 years in the making.

Leave the little fellow alone. Then see what happens. If you keep playing with it trying to get it to "work" it will most likely only make it worse. You shouldn't flog a (nearly) dead horse.

Try the 30-day NoFap challenge. Then see how you feel at the end. If these other studies don't offer any solution what else are you going to try?

 

Dude, you need a break from all things sex far more urgently...!

 

I agree

 

What answer are you searching for? Most of us in these forums are speaking from personal experiences not pure academic research. At this point I suggest you either do the research or see a doctor.

 

Your issue is a classic PIED symptom. I had the same thing. It's much improved now after a couple of weeks of no PMO and I still don't M.

If you haven't seen this from Your Brain on Porn yet, check it out. It goes into quite a bit of detail on the processes leading to PIED and the symptoms from PIED. The problem doesn't come from your penis, it is from physical, chemical changes in the brain.

I get that you probably don't want to stop M for a while, but it is very likely the only way you will get past this problem. The good thing is it's free and it will work, you just have to want it badly enough to do it.

Good luck with it!

 

Because you have become desensitized through excessive PMO. You cannot maintain your level of excitement for as long as you could because your mind has maxed out on dopamine.

If you continue to PMO then eventually it will not be able to become hard at all.

But don't worry - this can be reversed. Just not overnight.
