Age 54 – PIED cured in relatively short time. Before NoFap even boner pills weren’t working.

I am older at 54 years young, so actually my recovery from Porn addiction should be easier (source). This is an honest account of my experience. Quick background:

  • I was addicted to PMO
  • I am (still) addicted to Sex
  • For over a year I have been battling ED
     

I thought my ED was related to my diet/food. While going to all sorts of doctors I have tried all food/supplement related stuff. High protein, high fat, low carbs, high carbs, special foods, foods rich in Nitric Oxide, tried foods that are good for Testosterone, all sorts of legals supplements sold by amazon/CVS. I has some sporadic improvement but they never lasted longer than a few days, 1 week at most, and I could never duplicate them.

I am fit, physically and mentally healthy.

During my struggles with ED I would read and research a lot, and here and there I would come across PIED and I would dismiss it “Nope, not me”.

Then on 7/12/2016 something clicked, and I realized that maybe I was addicted to Porn. So I immersed myself into the NoFap community, read all I could get my hands on, watched the videos, and quit Porn for good.

I also quit M, mostly because my ED was pretty bad. But I didn’t mean to quit Sex. Nope.

Fast forward to today, 24 days later, I went 19 days Porn free, then 5 days ago I consciously PMO’d (long story). I know I have a long way ahead of me for recovery, one doesn’t just undo decades of addiction in a few short weeks, but I can see the noticeable differences right now:

  • These days most night I have overnight erections, at times I just sleep soundly that I don’t know.
  • These days most morning I wake up with an erection, when I don’t it’s because I woke up in the middle of the night so I am not in REM when I wake up. However it’s easy for me to achieve an erection after waking up.
  • No more loss of erection when I Fap or when I have Sex.
  • Every day I have erections, at time spontaneous, at times with just a little help.

These are the tangible effects that I notice, there are also intangible effects like no more brain fog, feeling a lot better, better outlook for my days, less lazy etc; but those are hard to quantify and they might be placebo effect.

It was very easy for me to quit Porn, probably because of my ED, once I associated my ED to Porn (PIED) I hated Porn.

I know that if I went in hard mode I would probably see more results, better results, and faster. I was not ready for that when I started, and I am sticking to my program, at least for now.

For those of you who think that my case was not that severe, I remember last year I was naked in bed with a very hot young woman, both naked, both DTF, porn playing in the background to get us in the mood, I had not had sex in a few days, I had taken prescription ED medicine in preparation (expensive magic pills) and I could not get it up. It was so humiliating!

Just wanted to share this with the people in this community, I know that I am no alone in my past experience, and just in case there’s someone who is researching ED/PIED, around my age, and wonders what’s ahead and the progression.

Looking forward to more improvement in my Sex life.
