PIED cured, morning wood back, wasn’t addicted to porn

[I experimented with quitting porn and masturbation to heal PIED. I had a supportive girlfriend.] Quitting porn for me was relatively easy. Now, if you quit masturbation too, which might be advisable if you developed PIED, that can be pretty rough. To me, the first two weeks I was incredibly horny – and then came this period they call a “flatline” where I was just absolutely not interested in sex whatsoever. For some guys this period can last up to many months. For others it’s a couple of weeks, or just a week. I only spent a couple of weeks in this state, at a time.

And then there were a couple of other things that started happening during this recovery process. I had “blue balls” many times, which is not much fun, but at least it give you the feeling that the recovery is working. I started to have wet dreams occasionally, which never happened to me before. I thought that this only happened in these “American Pie” type of movies. My morning woods returned, which is another extremely common experience that guys who watched tons and tons of porn and masturbate to it  – stop having morning woods. And, well, that will return during the recovery as well.

And lastly, over time, your old sexual desire returns and you will, after a long time, discovery again how it feels to be truly turned on by your girlfriend or partner.
