I agree. The thing is that orgasming during sex is normal and healthy, which is why you don't feel drained or depressed afterward. Fapping is solitary, not physically active, and usually makes you long for things that aren't real, leaving you feeling inadequate and unsatisfied.
I am in my 4th week of rebooting. At age 60, I was long time porn user, as much as three times a day. My wife was feeling insecure and I was feeling self loathing. I has been a journey of hope to find that my wife helping with my addiction. Last week I was spontaneously aroused with foreplay to a solid woody and me both enjoyed the powerful time it gave us, and the knowledge of future wonders.
From Reddit - First one night stand with no ED
First I should say that I've done 90 days already. I'm a 23-year-old male and in the past have had many opportunities to have sex with very attractive women and always failed to get an erection. It appears that things have changed. Not only did I have sex successfully with no problem, but I was also completely drunk. I've always had problems getting hard when drunk, even with SO's.
Social anxiety and bs negative thinking ----> out with the trash. How do you learn to be more emotional, lol??
Sensitivity and motivation rises like the sun without falling like the moon. Erection with girls....-Massive- Can even self-induce while thinking about girls in winter clothing. Motivation for working out, going out, ability to take care of dorm cleaning, laughter, smiling, positivity a result of training other than abstinence, no. Ability to sleep like a baby and wake alert without caffeine stimulation (though I do indulge in coffee due to the beneficial acquired taste).
Its hard to ignore the correlation between all these harmonious benefits and the strict PMO abstinence.
From Reddit NoFap - Hope for anybody who is flatlining, my 116 day perspective
Hey guys this is my first post on NoFap, I'm 22 and have been a lurker here for some time now discovered your brain on porn (YBOP) late December and from then on have been rebooting since the 1st of January. Had tried in the past to give up fapping and porn but failed. I realized I was addicted to both and they were having a negative effect on my life. I told myself I was destroying my youth and with a strange inner resolve gave up completely and without much struggle.
Porn had also effected my relationships with women and I have experienced ED a couple of time in the past because of it. I'm a good looking guy and never had trouble with getting girls but as soon as things got hot and heavy I would lose my erection. This destroyed me emotionally I felt i'd lost my manhood and my life.
10- 15 days into no fap I had a huge surge of energy and zeal for life. I couldn't believe how beneficial no fap was, but then after about 3 weeks in came the flatline. My libido went to zero and to make things worse women we all over me, I had so many opportunities but was afraid to act upon them and even turned them away because I was afraid I wasn't fully recovered. Low libido is really a horrible thing it was terrifying, I felt asexual for a long time. I experienced wet dreams nearly ever week during the reboot first they were about porn but then they changed to girls I knew, which was a good indicator of recovery. Between day 60-70 I decided to give it a shot with this girl but my sex drive was still very low ended up only getting head in the end because she was on her period. The flatline continued I was quite depressed because of it but I kept going I knew I had to fight on.
Around day 97 I fapped no porn involved no chaser effect etc. Decided to fap once a week after that and let me tell you guys my libido returned like a fuckin rocket! couldn't believe it and it wasn't for porn it was for the girls that had been around me all the time. I feel like a animal now ha! I lost my fire in life because of porn but now its back and its INCREDIBLE! I ended up with with another girl on day 104 and ED wasn't an issue at all just did my job like all the men on the earth who have lived before me! Listen guys its a tough struggle but keep going its worth it in the end but you guys will find that out for yourselves soon enough. Thanks NoFap and YBOP
36 year old male recently divorced. When my wife left me, I wasn't ready for it and I missed her terribly. I had urges that I wanted gone, like wanting to still have sex with her. So I turned to PMO. Well I jerked myself into oblivion. Suffered from all the symptoms. ED pills even stopped working. My life sucked. I was depressed but I could never put my finger on the problem. Visited psychiatrists and urologists. No one had the answer. So when I saw others in the same boat as me, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew right away I was an addict. Fast forward to today. Today is day 38 of no PMO. My friends, this process is the truth. My life has changed in every way imaginable. The fog has lifted and I'm so focused its ridiculous. No more depression, no more anxiety, music sounds better, I'm even stronger in the gym. I feel inclined to tell you all this because it's not an easy road but the end result is amazing. It hasn't even been 60 days yet, which is my goal. Stay strong. The motivation to have a better life keeps me from relapsing. Nothing worth having is easy and this is no exception. Trust in the process and you will be so happy you did. I promise.
LINK - Success after long reboot
When I visited yourbrainonporn it was after reading a related article on psychology today website. The whole puzzle of having erection mostly for porn and expectations of porn kind of seduction from my wife fell into very understandable jigsaw puzzle.
My first question was how long does reboot take. I went on for two months. The process even has had a dramatic benefit to my personality. I am less shy, I am more confident and active. However it eventually took me 3 months instead of usual 2 months and I am happy to say my married sex life has turned over its head to become just fantastic. I find my wife much more attractive as a result of this and no longer want her to emulate porn actresses.
I must add that other than rebooting I also found on the site advice on one other helpful thing. That was death grip for masturbation. This too had been a major issue for me. I had always used death grip for masturbation and it had resulted in real sex not providing the same level of stimulation.
After stopping that my penis is I think hundred times more sensitive.
I think together these two things really helped me turn around to a fantastic sex life. Thank you all for suggestions and thanks for the great website.
LINK - I can't describe how much better I feel
Luckily it only took about 7 weeks for sufficient recovery, though I was able to get a full erection earlier than that. Any time I come across porn (the Internet is a weird place), it does nothing for me. My girlfriend definitely turns me on, and I was able to successfully have sex (though my sensitivity is really high and I didn't last long). All in all, I feel more confident in myself, though anxiety is still a personal hurdle. At least I covered the main bases, and meditation may help further.
In general, I have a lot more spare time. With porn it takes up so much of your day, but without it you find that you might have too much spare time. Time enough to get a new hobby, or appreciate your loved ones more. I know that relapse is always a possibility, so I need to continue to be careful. In general, I'm pleased with my progress, all I need to do is work on sensitivity and nervousness.
EDIT: Meant to say this, but I've been busy. My sex drive is pretty high, which isn't a bad thing. And I've learned that it's okay to look at an attractive woman or other things the Internet has to offer (nothing pornographic though), the body isn't evil. It's when you think "yeah, i should just search..."then you need to stop. Recovery reaches a golden point, then it's maintenance and trying to just enjoy life.
(Comments - Older guy with lots of sexual experience who recovered faster than normal)
LINK - Hard reboot, 3 weeks in success on most fronts
Hi everyone,
30 year old here, I am writing with a success story and hopefully can inspire others. I won't bore you with my history, because we all follow pretty much the same path. Daily M, and P watching, problems in bed, from staying hard, to even getting it up to delayed Os. I've had these problems for most of my life, except for the times where I've had a steady girlfriend and wasn't watching as much P.
Currently I am dating two girls, so this is re-booting with partners. Sex was once a week with each girl, so of course in the between time I'd PMO daily. 3 weeks ago I had such a tough time staying hard that I knew I was in trouble. It finally hit me. Scoured the YBOP website and decided to abstain immediately.
First week was fine, except for occasional fantasizing, which is as dangerous as actually watching P. After a week, I had sex with one of my partners and my intention was to no O at all. Well, I was so hard, and almost ejaculated vaginally, which hasn't happened to me in years, that I finally Oed. Only once.
A couple of days later I was with my other partner and the same problems came back. I knew I need to abstain for as long as I could. End of second week, relapsed with M, but no P or fantasy, which I think helped. Well after 3 weeks I feel great, morning wood is starting to come back, I am actually turned on by real sex and real women and can stay hard long enough to finish a woman several times (think 45-60 minute stretches). I feel great overall.
Some things that may or may not have helped. I started supplementing with ginseng, multi-vitamins, fish oil and protein shakes with amino acids. I read that they help regenerate important amino acids and such. I also would slap on moisturizer on the head and shaft to soften the skin and bring back sensitivity. I think all of this may have helped me recover faster. Especially the sensitivity that came back in my dick has been amazing. I can actually ejaculated when having vaginal sex, rather than have to masturbate after penetration.
If you have any questions, let me know, I will try and help as much as possible.

Hey it's easy. Stop beating off so much and your **** will be back to normal buddy.
You're talking to the living breathing example of this. Used to be addicted to foot fetish porn and couldn't get it up for actual sex. You have no idea how embarrassing that is. Then I got into a situation where I couldn't look at porn for a month and a half, and couldn't beat off either. I took it as an opportunity and rarely bat off. I think I did it like 3 times in a month and a half period. HOLYYY SHOOTTT, was waking up rock solid erections. It was like the old days again!! I'd have to focus all my energy into making it go back down because it would HURT!! MAN!! I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVERRRR!!! Then I stopped beating off and looking at internet porn :)
They say masturbation is okay, and doctors even encourage it. The truth is, masturbating is NOT okay. It should be considered a LAST RESORT option. When you beat off, you deplete your sexual energy, and this trickles down into many aspects of your life. Just like buddy's dad says in American pie: "it's not a game"
From a forum:
I'm 45 years old. I kicked PMO cold turkey around Dec last year.
You said, "The difference in my sex life has been dramatic and for the first time in 12 years or so I'm getting sustained erections without touching. I feel like 16 again!"
I feel pretty much the same way not 16 but maybe 21 or so lol. I have not relapsed but I will admit I've had some pretty intense tests of my will power. I still experience periods where I flatline I feel completely dead down there. Other times I feel like I felt in my 20's I try not to dwell on it as to not give my self a complex about it.
I promised myself that I will save it for the women. I do not have a steady GF at the time, so its really hit and miss. But when I do stumble upon some action I'm not consumed worrying about if I can raise the flag. The alone keeps me on the right track.
I have not masturbated or viewed porn since I started my reboot process. I'm very happy with the new me.
Day 27 ED report
Well, this is the furthest I've ever made it.In the past month I've started seeing a smoking hot new girlfriend. I don't think that has anything to do with nofap, but I have seen improvements with my ED.
I'm not fully pleased with how it's going, but I have to be realistic here. I was dealing with barely being able to get hard at all for girls in the past. Now I'm able to get hard when I have sex and that is such a huge relief for me.
It isn't where I'm getting random hard-ons all the time, but all I care about is when it comes to having sex.
I'm dealing with PE a bit probably because I'm not fapping, but it isn't every time I have sex. This morning I had sex and the PE was pretty bad. I only lasted a few minutes. The sex feels incredible though. So many more sensations that I was used to when fapping all the time. I've also noticed that I'm having ridiculously huge loads!
I think the biggest thing for me is that I'm able to get hard for her. I was so worried about that. I was going to take that for granted and focus on the PE I sometimes experience, but I need to stop and remind myself that before I started nofap I would often not even be able to get hard for sex.
It's definitely all the encouragement I need to stick with this and see where it goes. Hopefully it continues to improve and I never again have to deal with ED ruining my sex life.
264 days after giving up PMO.
I have not had any incidents where I was unable to obtain and maintain erection during sexual activity.
Sometimes I mentally get a little doubtful of myself being able to get erect without issue, but I contribute that to years of struggling with erection issues. The doubtfulness is going away.
Rebooting works!!!
No porn and an occasional fap
Hi guys, just wanted to pop in and share my experiences with something not many people are doing. First some background: I'm 27 and I've had only one gf, but plenty of casual sex partners, I'm not big on the commitment part. I had ED some years ago but managed to shake it off somehow. My problem in sex has always been not being able to orgasm with my partner.... came only a few times inside a girl (and never with a condom, which I considered impossible), the rest was "manual". Another problem I was not aware of at the time was that I didn't stay 100% hard throughout the sex, but at the time I thought it was normal.
I thought the solution lies within finding a regular sex partner (aka girlfriend) and then a good friend showed me /nofap about 2 months ago. I've never been a big porn guy, so giving it up has been easy for me, 2 months clean now :) However, I tried the NoFap road but couldn't handle it past 7-10 days. The brain fog I get at that point where I want to just stick in into any girl that walks was too much, to the point that it was affecting my ability to work. If I had regular sex I'm sure it would be easier, but since that is not the case I have been sticking to one, maximum two faps per week, and never to porn.
So I just finished off a 3 day fuck marathon with one of my girls (first sex since I started all this) and the results are in:
1) I get hard fast and stay fully hard until the deed is done. I had no idea what I was missing or how hard I could get!
2) I am now able to orgasm inside and together with my partner, in any position... and yes, even with a condom.
3) I recuperate much quicker after sex and I'm ready to go again both mentally and physically. Before it used to be that I had a brief period of literally hating the person I just had sex with until things went back to normal in my head. Very weird, but glad I don't have this anymore.
So there you go. I'm not here to make conclusions, but I thought it would be useful to share my experiences and hopefully help someone achieve the same goals as I have.
As for me, the next goal is finding a nice girl to enjoy regular sex with and keep cutting down on them faps.
Yay I think my ED is cured
NoFap is the way. I've been doing NoFap in hard-mode, and the main reason was ED-problems (though I see now how porn really fucked up my life). I've tried to have sex three times for the last one and a half year, with only one moderately successful hard-on.
Yesterday I had sex with a girl and I had no problem getting it up, I was a little worried that the condom would explode when I came, but that didnt happen either fortunately:) I had some DE problems on the second run, but I guess thats OK.
Just wanted to share my little success-story with you guys. Stay strong and horny
Well, it has happened a lot. It has been almost three month since my last blog entry. (LINK TO POST)
First I have to say to Marnia,and all other members: Thanx, your support means a lot to me, and second: REBOOT WORKS GUYS!
All you need is loving partner,trust and patience. My gf and I stopped PMO addiction together,quitted phone sex,and started having,good and passionate sex. The result? The baby is on it's way, and we 're getting married in two month.
Problems? Well, guys reboot is ongoing process and it takes time to gain confidence. A week ago I went on the porn site and I started thinking: "What is this crap, it is not a true sex, what do I needed this for anyway?" And I went of the site, and installed porn blocker (MetaCert), because man is weak and needs help to avoid a "just one peek "situation, to win an addiction. I remember one day,a whole day of sex,I think I orgasmed 13 times. Sometimes, thoughts like: "Will it get up?" emerge the surface, but they vaporise in the passionate sex.
Few days ago, I had wonderful sex in the morning and in the night I couldnt get it up. Perhaps I was exhausted from multiple sex every day, perhaps my head is full of wedding preparations pressure, perhaps I felt that sex was something I have to do, a task that I have to perform, which I did not.
Sex is about relaxation and enjoyment,not a task and reboot is a process that takes time and it has it's ups and downs, but the main thing is: REBOOT WORKS.
NOFAP 27 Days In
Hey guys, I thought I'd contribute to the ever growing scientific research community of NOFAP, lol. I got into this because I was experiencing ED with girls while having sex, and also severe delayed ejaculation. I could pretty much only cum if I jacked off with a strong death grip; getting off inside a girl was almost impossible for me.
My tipping point for getting a handle on this was when I was with this really cute Japanese girl; I had never had one before, so I was excited to fuck her, but I just couldn't get hard. I had to think about porn, and even as she was riding me, I just felt soft at best. I was like screaming at my penis inside my mind -- wtf is going on??? But yah, needless to say -- she was very much disappointed and pretty much resisted any future advances for sex again (even though we still hung out once in a while).
After that, I began reading up to see if anyone else had the same problems as me, found YBOP and then this community. I decided to join the movement, and it's been 27 days so far. I deleted my porn collection, threw away all my toys and I keep myself busy with gym and work to take my mind off sex.
Here are some of the things I noticed during the last 4 weeks or so:
Week 1: - First few days, you don't really think much of it - 4-5th day - you crave porn - but it's kinda mild so you can fight it off
Week 2: - Depression starts to hit in - like you think about how you're alone and you're not where you want to be in life yet - You start really wanting to watch your porn -- like half my days were consumed with me wanting to PMO but really fighting myself to resist and read NOFAP for motivation. I read a lot of your guys' stories - which were kinda similar to mine, so I felt encouraged to stay away - I cemented everything by deleting my porn, by day 12 or so (that was a huge step - but once it's gone, it's gone - and you can't go back) - To circumvent my depression, I made goals for myself and reorganized my schedule so I could better achieve them
Week 3: - I continued to feel pretty depressed, but I kept myself busy with going to the gym and focusing on work (like actually learning stuff, doing my job instead of wasting time - trying to be a better achiever). - I also went out more, using Meetup.com and finding parties on Facebook to go to, to meet new people. - I also worked at Starbucks more (instead of home, I freelance) so I could be around people and not feel lonely/isolated - I started hitting up women online more seriously (before I'd just give up at the first few rejections) -- like my game was better, even though I was getting blown out a lot, I didn't let the rejections phase me, and eventually got 2-3 numbers from semi-cute girls.
Week 4: - I'm waking up daily with massive hard-ons. I feel tempted to MO, but I don't (it's super hard to resist just touching though -- but I keep myself from turning it into full on edging. If anything, I'm just more admiring how nice it looks, lol) - I have several dates lined up for the weekend -- but I'm needy as fuck, and I feel as though I might scare my girls away by being too needy for sex - I really, really want sex -- it's weird, because before with porn, I wouldn't really care if I got laid or not. Now it's like a serious DAMN BRO, when are you gonna get laid thing that bothers me whenever I'm alone or without some work to do. Talk about HARD MODE. - As a result though, I've been super persistent on the online dating sites, really pushing for more dates -- at least one a night. So far I've only had one date, but the girl wasn't that attractive in RL, plus the logistics sucked. Better luck next time? lol.. - I also am approaching girls more in the day -- I opened girls at Starbucks, then at a mall -- so far got one number with this HB German, but she flaked later so I'm still trying to work it…
Pros to doing this: - I'm becoming more persistent. I think that's a good thing, because I usually didn't care before or was pretty unmotivated in life. - Even though women give me a lot of bullshit, I feel like I can weed the ones who suck out faster and not waste my time -- that's actually a good thing, because I'm finding ones who are cool much faster.
- This keeps me from becoming one of those cynical misogynist types -- u know the ones who spend all day on the Internet hating on women and everything else?
- I feel like I'm actually setting goals for once and meeting them.
Cons to doing this: - You become needy as fuck -- which scares off women. However, you can overcome this and make your game even better than before. (I also think you become more honest too with your intentions -- like your intent is clear from the start so she feels it too) - You could literally spend a whole day in depression -- be prepared to 'throw away' a lot of days - I would NOT recommend NOFAP to anyone who is in the middle of a serious project at work or school; the stress will probably destroy your grades or career lol. You need a lot of time to dedicate to this and just to go through the whole emotion.
- I got through this because I'm able to clear out my whole schedule and just focus only on 3 things in my life: 1) Freelance Work 2) Gym & 3) Ladies. If you have more than that going on -- it may be difficult.
TL:DR - NOFAP is HARD. You will cry a lot and seriously question your life. But in the end, if you are someone who wants to succeed in life -- you'll find a way to survive and come out stronger.
LINJK - 90 days report, globally positive
A quick context first so you can check if you relate or not : 33 yrs old guy, married, 1 child, 2 PIV per month and before starting nofap ~ 2 faps per week.
I reached 90 days today and I'm amazed by the results, but maybe not in the usual way :
I wanted to start nofap for 2 reasons :
- to get rid of physical problems (PE and ED, both issues raising more than age should have after a long disease 3 yrs ago)
- to try not to stress my wife too much about the need for PIV. We have very different sexual needs and I was hoping that reducing Porn usage would also reduce my needs.
So far, I was following this sub to find out motivation, advices but without being an active part of it.
And this summer, I got extremely busy to the point were I "started" nofap without deciding it. Around day 15, I made this a commitment instead of a situation I was "suffering".
Now, after 90 days, I can say that ED were very probably caused by porn addiction (I wouldn't have used this word 3 months ago, but now with some distance, I think it's appropriate) as it disappeared progressively, with first results around day 20 and a "full" recovery around day 50.
Regarding PE, no luck :( One PIV were much longer than usual (ie > 5 minutes) to the point were this were painful for my wife who were not used to this anymore. I thought this was the beginning of healing but no, just a lucky one.
The most positive part was the "journey", not the goal in itself. I rediscovered the spare time that was lost in watching porn and fapping. I couldn't realize how much I were losing in this. My mentality also changed in that my sexual needs indeed lowered, up to the point that my wife would ask for sex, which was the first time in years.
The "journey" was also looking at all of the posts in this sub, seeing people managing to reach their goals, others faling with or without regrets, but always with a positive attitude. Seeing so much motivation from a large group was also a source of motivation in my life.
So, what now ?
I think I understand better how I "work" and I will probably now live something inbetween the nofap experience and my previous behaviour knowing that I could always restart a nofap diet if needed.
So, faptronauts, keep going, it's worth it. That's not the miracle solution to all your problems, but for me, that solved some.
TL;DR: nofap experience fixed my ED but not my PE; it lowered my sexual needs and made me rediscover my spare time. I'll stop now but might do it again later.
Stats: 24 yo, Single, but have had sex 4 times since starting
Started 42 days ago w/ 1 restart
Started beating of at 10 yo, porn ~11, damn HBO
Coupling NoFap with /r/seduction/r/Keto/r/fitness/r/motivation/r/malefashionadvice/r/meditation and /r/yoga
Goal: Doing NoFap to re-stabilize my libido and cure the two biggest issues to my confidence with women, PE and ED
------ OK, now that i've gotten that out of the way-------
I have been revamping my life for the past couple of months and No Fap has become tied with Seduction for the most important piece of it. I have always struggled with ED and PE. I have never been able to use a condom due to the "suffocating" sensation of lack of horniness. Then my flaccid penis would dribble out and bing, bang, pop, the girl is so confused and i'm demoralized.
Well fapstronauts, I can say as of the past two weeks that has gone away! I have had sex with 4 different girls over the past 2.5 weeks, and have been at a full on raging boner every single time! I can't thank this community enough, it has honestly changed everything. Also, my turnaround time has significantly improved. Last night 2 hours and I was ready to go again. It was unbelievable as my libido would usually subside for a day or a day and a half previously.
Also, my self control (pe) has drastically improved. I can't explain the difference very well, but when I have sex I can really enjoy it and can withstand the temptation to cum/ calm myself down a little bit when it occurs to last longer.
As for "superpowers" I know that I'm more confident now, i carry a big stick at the bars and use PUA techniques relentlessly, but I am no where that I want to be. Not yet anyway.
Again thank you community, i'm planning on writing a list of all of the gains - pros/ cons for 60 days. keep on keepin on.
oh and for those interested, here I was after my first week. A fairly substantial change if you ask me!
http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/z4uhg/i_hit_rock_bottom_last_night/
After no use of pmo or m I am starting to see positive effects little by little. A month ago my penis would be completely dead, even when I was touched by girls. After seeing this effect which my body had, I realized something was wrong with my ed. I went online and found this website as well as ybop. I finally foud my problem. Before heavy use of pmo for an entire year, I had a gf which I never pmo or m and everything was working perfectly with me. Now, after a month of no pmo or m I feel much better and my penis is actually reacting by me simply thinking about sexual encounters. It feels great. Last night while at the movies, by simply touching my friend, I got an erection but not 100%.
The case is, I recommend anyone suffering from ed to have a strong commitment to themselves and not pmo or m while in their reboot. It is 100% worth it in the long run. The feeling I now have is almost life changing knowing that my penis now works as it should.
Stay strong guys and don't give up. Think about other things during the process and keep busy and AWAY from a computer, only use it for important and necessary thing. Before rebooting I would find myself looking at porn while doing stuff online. So be very careful.
90 Days Completed.
I've finally done it! 90 days without fapping or porn, and on Hardcore Mode.
I first started for one main reason: ED. And I can now happily say this seems to have been cured finally. I haven't yet slept with a girl since starting but I am now getting erections a helluva lot easier and much stronger too! So hopefully this will remain the case once I do eventually get lucky.
I wish I could report about a magical self-transformation into a confident, easy-going, relaxed, positive, focused etc person like other reports I've read throughout my journey, but unfortunately I remain none of the above!
Other than the ED (or lack of it), I feel a lot more aroused from things I wouldn't have 90 days ago. I guess I desensitized my brain with the constant novelty and ever-increasing extreme pornography so I must say I do feel like 15 again, getting an erection from a bit of nipple!
I'm now going to aim for 100 days as my next target!
Good luck to everyone else. As Nike famously say; just do it.
90 days after...
Yes, I did it.
I'm 28. For about 3-4 years I had ED. I am taking ED meds (viagra-like) for about 1,5 year. Sometimes it was better, sometimes worse, but I felt that I need this drugs to get erection. My girlfriend was feeling bad too. She thought that it's her fault and she isn't hot enough for me.
90 days ago I watched "Your Brain On Porn" TEDx video and it changed my life. I knew that porn and fapping has bad influence on me but I just had no motivation to change it. The video did it. I just wanted to have sex with my gf without any problems.
First 2 weeks were really hard, but I managed to do it. Later I flatlined for a while (I don't rememeber how long). About 3 last weeks were the best. We have really great sex very often and I feel really comfortable every time (I don't think about my erection anymore while having sex).
Now I know, that I don't want porn and fapping anymore. I'm happy without it.
In this 3 months I started to run regularly. I stop procrastinating and started my own bussiness now. I don't think that noFap magicaly helped me do this things, but I'm sure that noFap was starting point to make my life better.
If you have any questions or want any advice - I'll try to answer :)
Let's call it a success story
Anyway, been posting around here for 6 months now. I got 10 pages of stuff in my journal to prove it. 
Last week I fooled around with a chick and came from a BJ for the first time in years. Actually, came from being with a woman for the first time in years. The last few years I never could cum while having sex or getting a BJ. Hell, the last a couple of years I've had a severe ED, a pretty much dead dick. Shit worked last week though. Finally. I don't think I was as hard as I want to be but obviously hard enough.
I think I am nowhere near where I want to be. I maybe expect too much, I am 36 after all. But this will only be a complete success story once I have sex with a chick. And not just once. But I like where this is headed. I can see the progress, I can see the changes. It is up and down (no pun intended), but things are improving.
It will probably take me 9-12 months to get there. Not exactly 3-5 months that you read about here. But I don't give a shit. I want to get there. And I will get there. Period
Anyone else suffer from porn induced ED?
I suffered from porn-induced ED and was in a similar situation a couple months ago. I could it get up enough to work about half the time at first. Then I discovered NoFap over winter break, and didn't see my girlfriend for about 2 weeks. When we came back to college, we had sex 9 out of the first 10 days without any serious ED (alcohol still posed a problem). I was blown away by the difference.
Obviously everyone and every situation is different. But I feel like you should be cautiously optimistic about it. IMO, mental attitude is another important component to this. I know that I had some performance anxiety from the ED. But every time, I tried to tell myself it was a fresh start and focus on the sensations and block out any thoughts of past ED. And relax. Not like a sleepy-relaxed, but a confident-I-know-things-are-gonna-work-relaxed.
Also, don't judge the whole night a failure if you can't get it up. Get her off with your fingers or mouth before you try PIV. Then whether you get it up or not, you know she's had some fun. And again, whether or not you get it up, afterwards, cuddle and talk to her about NoFap. She probably won't want all the details, but at least explain that you're in a proven recovery process. Even if you don't see the results in a week, you are healing.
ED Gone but Premature Ejaculation an issue now. Help?
Been doing nofap for quite a while now and I feel that my issues with ED are 99% gone, the problem is when I try to masturbate (without porn of course) I can feel orgasm coming on within a minute and im using the lightest grip possible. Has anyone found a solution to this? OTHER THAN KEGELS. I almost wish I had DE at this point, its far less embarrassing. Thanks
I'm going to try to make this short and to the point. (link)
Rebooting Experience: It was one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. I used my disgust in my poor sexual performance as my fuel for motivation. I wasted so many years of my life struggling with erection problems.
Like yourself, hot stripper lap dance my mind was excited but there would be NO action in my pants. Sex was a gamble without some type of ED pill to sustain and maintain an erection.
How I Feel Now: GREAT!!!! I can get erection just talking to a woman on the phone or thinking about a woman. I have no problems getting erections now even though in my mind I sometimes doubt myself. But that is from my previous ED issues and that will pass over time. Now 98% of the time I'm erect without any effort when it comes time for sex.
I cut out masturbation totally so I'll have a wet dream once in a while. So if I'm going to orgasm I better find a woman to be with. I made the no masturbation choice because I don't want my body getting used to it or risk falling back into PMO. I may look at some pics of women a buddy might send occasionally but I do not engage in viewing porn movies because that causes your brain to get off balance.
I'm not a young guy I'm 46 years old and I feel like I felt in my 20's.
90-something day report
Observations on 90-something days fap free:
- Porn/Fap-induced partial ED is gone. Get very hard very easily. G/F has been brought to PIV orgasm much more frequently these days.
- Constantly sexually frustrated, constantly horny, high standards (perhaps coming from benefits of working out), often frustrated with G/F for insufficient sexual frequency. Lots of time spend fantasizing/planning of sexual encounters with other women (though none have happened).
Co-occurences:
- Work out (lift, run, bike) 5 of 7 days per week (this has been going on for years though).
Though it has introduced some frustrations and - to some extent - torment, I have no intention of going back to fapping/PMO. Above all else, the confidence that my pseudo-ED is no longer an issue whatsoever is the greatest of benefits. The inner turmoil about lack of frequency of sexual can be channeled to other pursuits. Additionally, once refraining from PMO/MO becomes a habit, it is not too hard to keep up. Same thing with going to the gym: if you make it a daily habit, it's no longer a big deal to keep it up.
Misc note: I am incredibly suspicious of people who write that NoFap has given them "superpowers" - I find them either unintelligent (unable to see a possible placebo effect) or living in a lala-land where their observations don't match reality. NoFap has helped solve a very specific problem, namely porn/fap-induced ED, as well as enhanced my experience, performance, and confidence "in the bedroom"
