After not being able to get and keep an erection for years now I came across this site and realized that my problem was most likely PIED. I’m not so sure that I was addicted to porn (that’s what all addicts say though probably) because I only masturbated twice a day (sometimes back to back) and I could easily go a day without it every now and again.
I never dated a lot so I guess Coming home to a computer screen was an easily accessible stress reliever. As of a year ago though I began my first serious relationship. Early on when me and my now fiancé tried having sex for the first time, I realized that I was having a hard time getting and staying hard so I relied on Viagra to help me a lot in the beginning. I found out about a month or two after taking Viagra once a week that it was beginning not to work like it did at first. Thankfully my partner was very patient with me and I made do by using other methods to make her orgasm but as a man your pride definitely takes a hit if you can only use your hands and mouth to do all the work. (Might as well be a lesbian at this point)
Fast forward to a month ago..I discover NoFap and I begin the program. The first month was really easy for me but there might’ve been a day or two where I was super horny and was losing my mind me and my girlfriend don’t live together yet and only see each other a few days a week) so, I’d have to go days without being able to have a release through intercourse. I masturbated once technically but it was by her instruction while she gave me oral. I’m not too worried about that though.
While I was taking Viagra in the past while it was working, I could get hard but I wouldn’t really orgasm id just cum without much sensation at all unless I didn’t use a condom. A month later without porn for the first time in my sexual history (didn’t have a lot of sex in my teen years) i achieved a rock-hard erection without Viagra. I also was able to have a strong orgasm while wearing a condom!
She told me after having sex that I was the hardest I’ve ever been for sure and that she could tell that NoFap was working. It was an amazing feeling. Performing like I did is enough of a motivation to kick porn out of my life for good! I ran from a round 2 with her because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to recharge and stay hard and I didn’t want to push my luck. (Even though my erection did come back soon after I really just wanted to take my win and run ).
So whole is call this a success for me and a major jump progress wise I know that if i stay on this path for another month or two that I will be able to break a wooden board with my penis at will like it was a black belt.
To everyone that’s just starting their NoFap journey I want to tell you to hang in there! The benefits of removing porn from your life are almost priceless!
Stay strong and wish me luck as I continue this journey myself!
