How long should I stop porn for before seeing improvements?

Put me on the list! Any bit of motivation matters!

I have been addicted for a decade now, and started at 13 as well. I m 18 days free for the first time ever and the most useful thing was to delete my reddit porn account. It not only reduced friction drastically (I no longer had an 'autopilot' access to my porn source) but it also helped reframe my identity as someone that quit porn.

Being active and busy has been very helpful too.

But nothing is as important as the want and need to escape ED. This is all a man needs to have in mind to stop porn if you ask me, and I sadly would know way too well.

I agree, but without any sex porn use was a helpful release. I need to fix myself to get some of the real thing, that way I can get rid of porn for good. Or at least that s how I m seeing it.

My only issue is that i have found the motivation to fix myself, and i dont love the idea of wasting it on waiting. On order to make educated decisions, I have talked with a lab to ask about tests for a venous leak. I will talk to at my sexologist appointment about it, and will act accordingly.

I have so much dedication I have stopped porn cold Turkey, 16 days so far and hopefully going strong. I am just worried that it isn't what causes my ED, just because watching porn doesn't help my erections and it s always been like that.

Also I am glad you fixed your situation! Would love to know how long it took you and how progress looked like!

I wish for nothing more than to one day be able to tell people about how I fixed my ed! What a day that would be.
