I am reading this book, ‘Your Brain on Porn’, and it had this small exercise to check whether you are an victim of porn and whether you are suffering from PIED. So here it goes:
- First, see a good urologist and rule out any medical abnormality.
- Next, on one occasion masturbate to your favorite porn (or simply imagine how it was if you’ve sworn off it).
- Then, on another occasion masturbate with no porn and without fantasizing about porn.
Even though I did not masturbate, I know that I get an erection while watching porn. But I was not able to get erection without porn or fantasizing about it. I was not able to erect on my wish (I get sudden boners and urges but I don’t count these as they are unwanted). So I am suffering from PIED.
Currently I am on my day 64, and I hope that this problem goes away.
Also in YBoP book it has given a lot many side effects of PMO then I ever imagined, including early ejaculation or delayed ejaculation while having sex or not getting aroused while having actual sex. Even though I did not have sex yet, I hope in near future, because of NoFap, these problems won’t arise. I highly recommend reading this book and makng yourself aware the side effects of porn. I thank u/xNovaz for introducing me to this book.
