I’m in the middle of my twenties, and I had a PIED for 3 years which became stronger and stronger year after year. From occasional ED, it became no libido + no erections at all with a partner. I was PMOing ~1time a day for at least 10 years. Even now I’m not saying that porn is the only guilty here (I had developed performance anxiety as well), but I can’t deny its role in my troubles.
I discovered Nofap and I tried hardmode for as long as I would not be able to have a normal sexual life with someone.
It was really hard. The first month was full of cravings. But then came the flatline and it became easier to keep going. After 30 days the major difficulty was keeping faith in my body and trying not to “test” me to see if my penis was still functional. I held out and after ~55 days I tried to have sex with someone I am really attracted to. And it worked well. I was extremely sensitive, more than ever. And since then, I masturbated twice (without P of course), and kept having sex. All is going fine. My sexual life is finally back to normal after all those years, with less than 2 months of hardmode. I’m not sure that it will keep going this way, but I’m pretty confident about it. At least it improved a lot.
What I can say about this journey :
I had a severe depression for several years, and it is gone after 20 days of Nofap. It made me discover a new, stronger and better version of myself, more focused, more energetic, more ambitious (and dozens of other positive aspects)
I was able to resolve easily several problems I had in my life.
Even if its tempting, I’ll never go back to P. I do not need it. P destroys your libido, your vision of women, your reward circuit…
If you have the same problems I had, removing P from your life will give you a strong help to recover
At the beginning I was an alcoholic depressive piece of shit and I wasn’t able to do anything in my life. I was PMOing/binging videogames/netflix all day, stuck in a vicious circle in which life was a burden. Stuck in my relationships. Stuck in my professional life. Stuck with the meaning of life.
I can’t believe I changed so much in so little time, just by removing PMO from my life. I unlocked my mind. I broke free from my shackles.
I did that to recover a healthy sexual life, but it brought me so much more.
Now I’m happy. Now I have hope.
I’m pretty sure that soon you will too
