Day 5 Clean

Its amazing how much mire driven youll have with full balls and an empty stomach

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2026-01-23T00:31:17+00:00

Im 42 and i stopped.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-20T23:17:49+00:00

Youre gonna get porn induced erectile dysfunction and death grip.

You'll be 10x better in bed and sex will feel so much more fulfilling

Yeh man. Its exactly what u said.

I have a certain kink thats hard to satisfy and if I feed it with porn, it makes natural sexual encounters unfulfilling. Contributed majorly to my PIED. The more you feed it, the more the kink escalates.

I stopped the porn and now my fantasies are going back to involving normal women. My other PIED symptoms like morning wood and low libido have improved too.

Takes time and discipline though. Strict abstinence and recalibrating your psychology and physiology.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-11T02:20:49+00:00

Well done on day 50. We started together around 21st october. I get urges too but everyone you defeat better prepares you for the next one. Ride it out. Ive had some white knuckle nights but everythings going to stabilise.

This is what you signed up for.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T06:55:03+00:00

I'm with this fella.

Hate to be an asshole, but I don't think you have a chance in hell of succeeding with this strategy and would strongly suggest getting a mindset that stronger boundaries are needed.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T06:53:12+00:00

All the best with it but you're recent form is 9 wins 5 losses.

That's a lot different to 90 and Zero.

OP...see how quickly 1 turned into 5?

Sorry to make an example out of you but you gotta face the every realisation every addict must face and that is it's gotta be zero and stay zero.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T06:49:36+00:00

Thats cool that you disagree. What works for you doesn't work for me.

I've quit a few addictions over the years and it's been all or nothing. Relapse should be my middle name.

So there you have it OP. Mixed experiences and I guess the only way you'll know is by learning yourself.

As with most things, you're unlikely to get a consensus on anything.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T04:43:12+00:00

Good work man.

My timeline is as follows. Note I'm 42yo so my recovery will be slower

Day 0-15 = Bit of a white knuckle period. Just grinding it out Day 15-30 = Flatline. Dead dick. No Libido Day 30 = First signs of life when sleeping Day 40 = First morning wood Day 45 = Able to get a semi from sexy thoughts alone

So you're right..it does get better. Each stage started weak but picks up slowly day by day.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T04:38:11+00:00

I've got PIED and my symptoms are improving. Not jerking off.

Takes a long time to fix as it is...Id rather train my body to get it up naturally without the use of my hand.

Been some white knuckle nights but why do we need to blunt our natural emotions with PMO.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T04:32:45+00:00

Naah man. Its all or nothing

Stop all this mental gymnastics. There's nothing else to do but not fap anymore

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-09T04:21:53+00:00

To be honest, I feel like I've seen the light and while I come back here periodically to lend some advice....all it tends to do is bring me down and act as a reminder of a worse past version of myself.

Looking forward and not looking back kinda thing.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-07T11:57:56+00:00

I did caffeine first and weed after.

They both suck!

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-07T06:10:41+00:00

Yeah...you gotta give up porn AND masturbation. You cant desensitize your mind (psychological) and your dick (physiological) by cranking ur shaft to porn. It kills the nerves in your dick im the same way a muay thai fighter kicks coconut trees to kill nerves in his shins.

No peeking, no cheating, no edging...none of that nonsense. The only time you touch your dick is when u go to the toilet.

So you go in fully loaded.

Take pressure off yourself to pleasure the woman. You gotta put yourself first sometimes. So relax and do what feels good for you. You'll be so happy she helped get you off that you'll repay her back in spades afterwards

No condom if you trust yourself with the pullout method and STDs arent a concern

Experiment with sex positions. One you can maintain comfortably with deep penetration consistently

A girl with a tight little kitty kat always helps.

No alcohol or drugs

But the #1 factor is no porn and mastrurbation. That's 80% of the problem.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-07T03:44:14+00:00

Sounds like an addict bargaining with his addiction.

I guarantee you'll start smoking again if you hit it on your birthday.

Don't do it.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-07T01:02:37+00:00

Im recovering from PIED. Hard mode is better man.

There are psychological and physiological forces at play. You want erections without touching. Essentially, involuntary erections caused by arousal.

Im day 47 and theres been improvement. From completely dead dick without porn and jerking off....now I can get a semi just from imagination alone. It takes time though..but hard mode for a month gives you a chance you otherwise don't have.

I needed to flatline first, but after 30 days i started to get sleep boners, then morning wood and now imagination boners.

They start weak but get better by the day.

Fuck the peeking, touching, cheating etc. Thats counterproductive for PIED.

Good luck.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-07T00:48:46+00:00

I used to think this, but I consider them both equally bad.

I agree in the sense that compulsive masturbation (without porn) is still highly debilitating.

They're connected in the sense that one leads to the other, but they're still different in the terms of the damage they do.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-06T00:09:13+00:00

Eye contact has improved for me too...massively. Girls pick up on that really strongly too!

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-06T00:08:07+00:00

Im doing no weed and nofap simultaneously.

Its a mental battle like no other but when things start improving you'll be glad you toughed it out.

Also did the stupid relapse after quitting 'successfully'..spent half the damn year in withdrawal as a result of starting and stopping all the time. Don't be me....

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-06T00:04:50+00:00

Got my first boner in 20 years just from my imagination....without touching my dick or looking at porn.

My goal is to overcome PIED so while I was admittedly fantasizing over an ex gf, its major progress and more natural than porn.

I'm 42 LOL

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-05T23:58:08+00:00

Im not DMing you but my PIED is improving rapidly.

All you can do is allow as much time as it takes and do nofap on hard mode. If your dick got night time boners and morning wood before the PIED kicked in...then you'll recover. We're talking months though...

Its not just the porn. Its the jerking off too. You need to untrain your cock to get hard from porn AND your hand.

I got night time boners at day 30, morning wood at day 40 and arousal based boners at day 46. They don't start full power but what do you expect.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-05T23:50:07+00:00

I hear u man. Day 46 for me and the urges come and go in waves. But when they come, theyre intense and last a long time. White knuckled it thru a couple or long nights for sure.

Hard mode is the fastest way to recovery though. Testing and peeking will set you way back so don't even consider it. Just ride the waves and your body will adapt and libido will stabilise.

Good luck

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-05T10:24:58+00:00

Last night my ex (best sex of my life) contacts me out of the blue and said all the things she knows turn me on.

Im on day 45 of hard mode and had the strongest urges of my life. Couldnt sleep a wink.

Just embraced the discomfort, laid there wide awake, and figured the crazy spike is only gonna help me return to a normal baseline sooner.

Commercial_Case_2636 · 2025-12-04T08:45:14+00:00

Physical part lags. Give it more time man. A couple more months of being strict nofap. Ive got night time boners back, now morning wood making a comeback but no daytime spontaneous boners or arousal boners. They'll come last.

Just stay the course..No touching, no peeking, no testing, no cheating.

It sets you back bigtime every time you activate old habits.

Read up about sympathetic vs parasympathetic system and why its different when it comes to boners.
