Curing ED Through NoFap - My Progress

I can empathize with your problems. I am on prozac generic and I had other things with which to contend regarding ED:

85 pounds overweight

Plus, I am no spring rooster ( to say the least).

So far I have lost 55 pounds with 30 more to go.

I have a trainer and I go to the gym 5 X per week. I would suggest this for you as it will be a big help for your depression. Exercising releases endorphins that will improve your mood.

I have done some research and I am experimenting with supplements that are said to enhance the effects of viagara.

If you like, I can let you know if I find a combo that works for me.

These problems are all fixable, so don’t give up.

Hi guys!

Many thanks for your words!

I have news! Great news!!!!

Spontaneous erections, morning wood, masturbation… are all better!

Paroxetine killed my already dying libido. I didn’t have any clue of how my recovery would be… I was taken by fear and I stopped everything. I didn’t come back to porn, but I was fighting to reactivate my libido.

It took two weeks to get better, but it’s incredible!

After 44 of complete reboot, I’m able to have an erection and masturbate using only my imagination. EQ varies between 9/10 and 3/10. It decreases overtime. Also, I have morning wood some times and spontaneous erections during the day…

I had to force my mind to think in sex again, my libido slowly came back. My depression is much better!

I won’t go back to paroxetine this year. I must enjoy these days and have good sex with my girlfriend. Next year I will try a longer shot. Now that I know more about my body recovery, I’m more confident!

NoFap works! Flatline is hard, but I learned a way to get rid of it.

That’s great you figured out what was causing a large part of the problem. Yes, the “flat-lines” really suck. It’s easy to forget that it’s temporary while you’re going through it.

It’s amazing how depriving the mind of porn can have such tremendously positive effects on sexuality and mental well-being. For me, it has greatly improved many things such as focus, reading comprehension, mental clarity, confidence, sense of accomplishment, erectile quality, and general productivity.

What specifically are you doing to alleviate your flat-lines?

Good news and bad news…

I had sex with my girlfriend last Tuesday. WITHOUT pills!!! I don’t have sex without pills since 2012. Almost eight years. NOFAP WORKS!!!

The bad new is, I’m not cured of my addiction, and I fell to it. Seems that sex had evoked that uncontrolled desire. After a night in crisis, I feel my cock tired, no morning woods, no spontaneous erections…

Two good lessons learned:

First: BELIEVE!!! It’s hard, it’s scary, it will crush you down so hard you’ll doubt. You doubt that you deserve happiness, you doubt your own masculinity. Find forces wherever you can. Take some depression pills, exercise, do some meditation… Whatever you do, DON’T STOP BELIEVING!!!

Second: Once you are addicted, you will always be an addicted. The brain patterns are already formed, you will not get rid of it. You can only create a different pattern on your brain by doing other things to calm down the addiction behavior. You can repeat this exercise till it’s easy to overcome the addiction. But if you fall, it’s just like ride a bike. You don’t forget, you don’t get rid of it. It’s part of you.

My mission is a complete rest till new years eve. I’m planning a great night of sex.

That’s it for today.

Rush9mota,

Happy New Year! I am a new user from China. My English is very poor, so I decided to use the translation software provided by Google to help me complete this conversation. If there is something that is not clear, I hope you can forgive me. I am trying to improve your English. Before I read your article, I never thought that porn videos would have such big impact on people, so after carefully consideration, I decided to join your action to stay away from porn videos, yesterday, 31th,December,2019 ,I removed all porn videos that could cause my bad desire.

Thank you very much for sharing. I have a small question and want to consult. I want to know how it is completely cured? I have an erection every morning and night, but during the day, I must be under strong stimulation to achieve an erection, which mean, I must rely on pornographic films, or to achieve the purpose by fantasy scenes of pornographic films. If I rely on fantasy to make myself erection again, is this a cure, or is it incomplete? I hope to get your reply. If anything I said is unclear, please forgive me.

I wish you happiness every day!

Hi chinesejelq, welcome to the forum and happy new year!!

I use google translate all the time, English isn’t my language as well… so, don`t worry.

It`s a very good question! But, is there a cure??

I suggest to consider a different approach to it. Do you consider yourself healthy? Are you satisfy with the hardness of your cock when you are having sex?

It’s said that a complete reboot will make you feel like a teenager again. I never got there, so, I don’t know. What I know is, I didn’t complete my reboot and I’m still trying. Although, the improvements are unquestionable. I had sex without pill after almost 8 years. I watched porn and now I need the pills again, but I’m having sex, which isn’t even happening few months ago.

I think the cure is feeling completely secure about yourself. Living without the shadow of fear. Afraid to fail, afraid of not having viagra at the right time (I lost a few sex opportunities because of that. Oh god, I don’t have viagra… it’s like, oh god, I forgot my penis at home…). I don’t know if there is a cure, but, if I feel that confidence again, I’m cured!

Porn is part of the existing culture. Now that I know it’s impact in lives and generations to come, I don’t consider it healthy, but it is what it is.

Anyway, it’s nice to know you are leaving porn. It’s a good step to be a better version of yourself. Without porn, I feel much more connected to my girlfriend. Also, I can see that women are more attracted to me (there is an explanation to it, if somebody asks I try to explain)…

Hope it helps enlighten your path!

I am very happy to receive your reply. I had an erection tonight and it was hard. I think this is a good phenomenon for me. This is the seventh day of my abstinence and the second day that I am banned from watching porn videos (I say this because I always watch pornographic movies to maintain an erection every time I do PE exercises). Now I find that my PE exercise is overdone, so I am trying to recover and adjust my state.
Yesterday I always wanted to masturbate. Sitting in front of the computer, I had an urge to satisfy myself immediately, but I held my breath and paused in my mind for about ten seconds 。 I realized that this was not what I wanted, so I immediately stopped it. I turned around for an hour of physical exercise, and this process gave me some physical and mental satisfaction. I want to focus on my physical and mental health, reasonable diet and physical exercise during this time. I believe this will regenerate me.
In the days of fitness, my family said that my physical performance was much better than before, which made me happy and willing to continue to maintain this state of life.
I really feel better now than before. There is always a vitality every day, and I want more adventures and challenges. Maybe this is a state of being a teenager? Although I am not very old, I feel relaxed and comfortable that I have not experienced for many years. You may feel that such a change in such a short period of time may be your own psychological deception, but no matter what, I think I am worth continuing to maintain this state.
I was watching an American TV show these two days, and found that the actresses there were very attractive to me, which was unimaginable before. No matter how attractive a woman is to me, I won’t blurt out: “Oh my god, she’s so sexy and beautiful”, but I said these words casually in front of my family yesterday. I think my body and mind as a normal man is returning.
In short, thank you very much for your article, let me know how terrible I was before, I hope you will continue to find yourself in the future!
PS: If you find that my sentence always likes to start with the first person, please forgive me, this is probably the language logic of Chinese.
In addition, I feel more and more that my username may cause unnecessary trouble and prejudice, which I did not think of before I registered. I want to make changes. Where do I need to submit an application? If not, do you think I should change the name? After all, using a country name as the username is always a bit inappropriate. Maybe this is what our culture makes me feel like.

I have recently received some other research news. They told me that excessive bans on masturbation can also lead to physical damage, and they recommended that regular masturbation activities be carried out every week. I don’t know what you think about this. Because I don’t have a girlfriend yet, if I need to ejaculate, I may have to rely on myself to do it.

I’m thinking about being relatively mild and not stimulating masturbation with any information about sex movies. This seems to help me solve this problem. Do you think I masturbate too often once a week or just right? Do you masturbate during the process of quitting the negative effects of sex movies? Or do you just have sex with your girlfriend? If there is masturbation, what are you thinking about to avoid too much stimulation?

Hi chinesejelq!

Don’t worry about your nickname. Actually it’s a bit funny to me (in a good way). It’s like a Chinese version of jelq technique…

Regarding masturbation… well, if you live a life without ever cum, you might have an increase in prostate size, which might lead to a cancer… We all should cum regularly! But we should avoid coca cola, alcohol, too much sun, sugar, meat… The list of things that might cause cancer is freaking huge and unavoidable…

Masturbation is ok… The thing is, I’m addicted and I’m passing through a recovery. I need to make my brain learn to be aroused with a woman again. Make it learn to lead this arousal to an erection all over again. To accomplish this, I need to avoid PMO.

I can assure that the best results I got was by leaving PMO and sex behind. But it’s not a life style, it’s a recovery time.

I recommend to leave porn forever. Focus your sex drive to the real girls you can have sex.

But, if you need to masturbate… There a few things you can do and a few things you can’t do during the recovery:

Do not masturbate thinking in the porn images you remember. The part of your brain that controls erection doesn’t know the difference between watching porn and imagining porn.

If you need to cum because you are feeling some pain at the testicles, you can masturbate looking at the mirror. This is a technique to use only manual stimulation and avoid (at any cost) sexual thoughts.

Other thing you can do is limit your masturbation. For example: You can schedule that you can masturbate 3 times every Sunday. leaving a whole week for recovery.

Anyway, when you masturbate, don’t watch porn, avoid porn thoughts… Try to only masturbate using the manual stimulation or thinking in a girl you are already having some relation, so you can teach your brain to focus your arousal on her.

Hi rush9mota！

I’m glad to hear your understanding of my nickname, but after considering that I decided to change my name again and again, I submitted a change request to the administrator. I think this is a safe choice for me, that may avoid some unnecessary trouble.

If you are interested, I can briefly introduce the meaning of the new name here. “Songfengge” refers to a great calligraphy artist in Chinese history. His name is Huang Tingjian, and one of his works is called “songfengge”. I like his art very much and his works let you feel a passion for freedom . In fact, in the past 2019, I have been working hard to prepare for the examination of Chinese art graduate students. I have an obsession with art and would like to spend time studying them. “jelq” means that I want to work hard for PE exercises. The combination of these two things symbolizes what is meaningful to me at this stage.

Regarding your masturbation suggestions, I feel very good to me. I decided to conduct a masturbation activity tomorrow without any pornographic participation, and simply feel the joy and enjoyment that my body passed on to me.

On the weekend three days later, when I recovered from a high-intensity PE exercise to a week, I interrupted and restarted the PE exercise. Starting from the novice thread plan, I gradually and safely started the exercise.

Due to jet lag, the city I am in is now late at night. I feel happy every time I talk to you. I wish you a happy day, I am going to sleep, after all, staying up late is not good for me.

PS: I originally wanted to upload his artwork to you as an attachment. But it seems that because I am not the host of this post, so I do not have permission to post. If you are interested, you can search for the keywords “Huang Tingjian” and “songfengge” on Google and Wikipedia, and you will see his art works. I am also studying his calligraphy art, and I look forward to producing works as good as Huang Tingjian in the future.

Hi, how are you doing? This is the sixth day when I am not exposed to pornography. But it’s hard. I have masturbated last week. But after only a day or two, my desire became strong again, and he made me want to be released. I think I can’t help it anymore. So I’m writing these things with you now. I hope you don’t get bored.
I restarted my new exercise program today. I feel the penis adapts well. My dick has been hard this morning. Very big, he needs to find a hole to insert it. But I can’t do that, it’s driving me crazy. Okay, I admit I’m addicted. I need to calm down and not think about that. I decided to go out later and hope you have a great time recently!

Hi Songfeng!

I’m just fine…

Leaving masturbation without depression pills is almost impossible. I really need something to trick my brain to not ask me for dopamine.

Leaving porn is the most difficult thing. I couldn’t do it only by will. So here is a HUGE advice:

I have a parental control software controlling my access to everything.. I cannot access porn from my PC, my notebook or my smartphone.

I pay for it and it is relatively cheap. I block not only porn sites, but celebrities sites that have some pics using bikinis, lingerie, etc…

You can choose any parental control you like. I tried a few and the one the worked better for me is Qustódio. It’s running in my computer, it’s running in my phone. Only my girlfriend has the password, so I cannot turn it off.

It doesn’t work well with my phone, so I also use a free app called blocksite. I listed hundreds of websites I don’t want to access and put all of them at the blocksite. I turned the blocksite on and blocked the access to this app at Qustódio. So, if the original rule at qustódio fails, blocksite protect me. If I want to turn off blocksite, Qustódio doesn’t allow me.

In my PC and notebook, Qustódio works very well alone.

It blocks porn, it forces safe search on google and it blocks a lot of sites that I know can show me sexy women (pinterest, instagram, facebook… anything that may lead me to masturbation).

Even thundersplace is blocked. I can only access it from my work’s PC or using my father’s notebook. Either way, I’m not alone on those situations, so it’s impossible to masturbate (there are a lot of nake women pics in the forum).

I’m not here to recommend a particular parental control software. You can use anyone you like. But I truly recommend using one.

It was a game changer in this war. It’s when I started to win some fights.

Thank you for your suggestion, this is really difficult. I’m fighting my will. Good luck to me.

Guys, 15 days without porn, only one without masturbation.

I’m better overall, but I’m back to pills.

In the last weekend of January I’m gonna travel with my girlfriend. I this to be good. So my mission is stop using my cock till there.

Daily posts to show the progression.

Let’s see
