My PIED is CURED!! Just had successful sex for the first time in my life! 26 year old virgin (until tonight) who was addicted to PMO-ing for 12 years.
I was hard from the second we started kissing.
I was literally hard the entire time we had sex which was a solid 20 minutes at least.
She even commented how hard I was.
Trust the process! Thank you to Gary Wilson for saving my life and giving me a reason to turn my life around.
I’m still going to limit my orgasms in the near future but its great to know my dick will WORK!!
Good luck and do not lose hope.
FUGU: Congrats man! Can you expand on the before and after of your life?
She happened to be staying at the hotel I was staying at. Sat next to me at the hotel lobby bar, game over from there 😉
As for my story, been PMO since I was around 13-14. Started out with pictures, got high speed internet my junior year of high school.
Porn use gradually got more intense as the years went by. Escalated to gang bangs, humiliation, gagging, young teen porn, all kind of weird things toward the end right before starting my hard mode reboot.
I was always laid back but as my pmoing escalated I grew more isolated from people.
I got depressed, grades suffered, had several chances when I was in high school and early college to hook up but my dick wouldn’t get hard or stay hard.
Over the last few years I didn’t even try. I didn’t want to deal with the embarrassment again.
Around a year ago I did some Google searching and found your brain on porn. I had all the classic symptoms.
My first reboot lasted 29 days before pmo-ing. A couple weeks or pmo-ing was followed by a 45 day streak before relapsing.
Finally I said its time to get my ass in gear and I’m in the zone of a 280ish day no PMO streak! Around day 260 I masturbated to very light touch, no images or porn for the first time in my life!
Growing up I always masturbated by rubbing by dick on the mattress lying prone, which I also learned was AWFUL for me.
Chronic edging was also a problem for me. I thought by edging and not o-ing I was doing myself better. Wrong! You live and you learn.
There’s hope guys!!! I’m living walking breathing proof. You need to trust the process during the shitty days. Don’t give in, you can beat this.
I’m always going to be on the forum so any questions give me a shout. God bless.

INITIAL POST – Changing My Life. You Can Too.
First time poster but avid reader since I started my hard mode no porn/no fap journey!
Tomorrow marks 180 days. This coming from a guy who’s fapped since age 13 and watched porn since around the same time. Suffered PIED for years and wondered why. Had several failed sex attempts while sober.
Here’s some of the changes I’ve seen so far:
1) I got a new job making about 15 grad more than my previous job. I was selected from 70 plus applicants for this job.
2) I don’t have to sleep as much as I used to. I’ve cut about an hour of sleep out per night I just don’t need anymore.
3) I wake up early most mornings around 6 o’clock and within minutes I’m wide awake. I used to spend most mornings tired and groggy until mid-day.
4) I’ve got a ridiculous amount of motivation. I literally can’t sit around and do nothing or I feed empty and like I’m wasting time.
5) I’ve started chasing my true passions. I’ve gotten my certified personal trainer certification and am working on other sub certifications. All of this while working 45 hours a week with my real job.
6) Since my reboot, today was the first day I felt myself getting a little hard while looking at a girl.
7) For the first time in my life, girls are starting to notice me. And it feels great. Little things like a shy smile, looking down when I look at them, etc.
And its only going to go up from here. There’s no secrets. I get urges but I ignore them. I won’t ever give in again. I’ve been alone and isolated for years and I’ll never let myself fall back into that cycle.
Its now or never men. I’m 26 and for the first time in my life, its time to LIVE!
UPDATE – 1 Year No Porn or PMO!
Wow. Crazy how time flies. I’ve come so far. Dick sensitivity is high, erections are the least of my problems. What’s crazy is the journey is only starting. Its like peeling back layers of an onion.
I’ve got so much of myself to work on. Getting more confidence. Getting a handle on my relationships.
The journey never stops. God bless! Lets keep fighting.
UPDATE 2 – Continued Successes
Just wanted to check in and continue to post success for motivation.
Social anxiety is near zero at this point. I’m kissing girls on first dates, girls are pursuing me, this is awesome.
I’m attracting women without trying. I’m continuing to stay away from both porn AND masturbation.
I’ve been in several sexual relationships since my 1 year mark.
I feel calm, I’m trying to find a way to quit my job and become my own boss.
Big successes are possible as a result of small changes implemented day after day. Write that quote down and read it to yourself every morning!
Every day you stay clean is a day closer to growth as a man and sexual freedom (if that’s what you desire).
For the record I was a 26 year old virgin prior to my reboot.
UPDATE 3 – 17 Months Clean Check In
I unexpectedly ended up in a second flatline during month 15 and I’m finally breaking out of it again.
I’ve got a new girlfriend. Best relationship I’ve had so far. Open, honest, loving, very sensual and sexual.
We had sex 5 times last weekend and another 4 times this weekend. One orgasm each week. The “hangover” effects from having an orgasm are becoming less and less severe.
I’m finally having days where I can have sex multiple times some days.
My personality continues to blossom. I’m more open, free, friendly. I still have foggy moments but now they are lasting hours instead of days or weeks.
Most importantly, I feel the desire to be sexual. When I was younger, it felt mechanical and robotic. Now I don’t even think about it. I’m losing myself in the moment of just making love to my wonderful girlfriend.
Stay strong! Despite the ups and downs, the benefits continue.
UPDATE 4 – 2 Years Clean Update
What’s up YBR? It’s been 26 months clean and my life has changed drastically. Started as a 26 year old virgin with a limp dick and no life to speak of.
Since these days, my boners have come back. I went from a virgin to having successful sex with 8 different girls my first year clean. Last year, I met an awesome girl.
Around that time, I went into an unexpected flat line. Took me several months to get through. I was honest with her, and she stuck with me through the troubles. I limited my orgasms through Karezza sex, and my erections have come back along with my sexual confidence.
I’ve experienced everything during my sex reboot. Premature ejaculation one night, delayed ejaculation another night. Limp dick. Rock hard. Great sex. Sex that felt foreign to me.
My girl has been amazing and helpful through this whole process. Lots of rewiring. Kissing. Cuddling. Hand holding.
Last month, we got engaged in Florida!
2 years, virgin at age 26, to now meeting my future wife who is a perfect match for me. We’re planning a wedding. We’re looking at buying a home. 2 years ago I would have said you were crazy. Life is completely different for me.
I get these urges to go do something. It’s hard to explain. I’m no longer lazy. When I’m home alone, I get an urge to call someone. I get an urge to be social and hang out. My confidence has skyrocketed. I’m being more real. I want to connect with other human beings. It’s an amazing feeling.
That’s 2 full years clean! Zero relapses. 1 masturbation around 180 days to see if I could get hard to touch and touch alone. I did. It was great.
Otherwise, no porn. No masturbation. No porn substitutes. Only orgasms through sex. I’m still limiting my orgasms to once every few weeks. Porn will never be an option for me and masturbation will never be an option.
My body knows the only release it will get is through sex. So if it wants to O, it better find and keep a real life woman! Good luck to all. I still linger in the forums.
