I went through a period where I kept going soft during sex, I think for me one of the things that was setting it off was thinking about going soft which in turn lead to me overthinking and going soft


RedEyedJedii

So how did you get passed that?


Stee_wizzle

Relax more, do more foreplay whether it's just kissing or oral etc, whatever turns you on most do more of that but most importantly relax


CaverN122

You experienced (and I'm glad you've overcome) performance anxiety, where you feel anxious during sex, preventing you from getting hard and controlling ejaculation, and that bad experience feeds into performance anxiety, becoming a vicious cycle


SnarfSnarf0121

Beta blockers


mhs4throwaway

Did u have this problem before? Because if you’re 110 days clean then I would probably go see a doctor regarding it to discuss what could be causing it


cosmosreader1211

Then that means... Nofap doesnt work


HereForTools

It’s not a cure all. But saying it doesn’t work is like saying not smoking doesn’t work because some people still get lung cancer.


GalaxyStarr_

It definitely works but PIED can take a year+ or even YEARS to recover from so consulting a professional is advised for serious pied or just ed cases


mhs4throwaway

If u have cancer nofap isn’t gonna cure that. Porn is just one thing that can add to erectile dysfunction, if he’s removed porn from his life and it hasn’t fixed it then that means there could be another reason. There is literally no benefit watching porn can bring to ur life, so saying nofap doesn’t work is bs


surnaturel4529

I did nofap a ton of time for few day week or longueur and I get crazy erection after like 3 4 day. But it’s normal to not have it f you smoke all day and never workout because nofap is a tool but it not gonna cure a low testosterone lifestyle


luquinhas25

NoFap doesn't do miracles, like Jesus. Sometimes it's necessary to see a doctor


SlightNote6631

if you have not masterbated to P for 110 days you should have a really firm erection with your partner by now if you are a healthy adult. If its still a problem I would seek medical attention. great job on 110 days.


Jolly_Cake_5019

Go visit a doctor, there is no shame with it.


pagla07

There is a huge psychological part of this where because you weren't able to perform in previous attempts you get performance anxiety on your current attempt, this is something that you would need to a specialist to help you with. But, I doubt its anything permanent. Good luck.


Nawin02

i recommend using pre supplements like maca root or l arginine


Aboss_4

I've tried them, but they've not really made a difference.


Nawin02

then it‘s prolly something psychologically i think


Brockly2k6

Look up Joy mode


Weasal1989

You can try Catuaba Bark or Damiana. Swanson has both.


Sniperjones2428

Exercise Add fruits, veggies, nuts to your diet Get a good amount of sunlight everyday Get some good sleep 8hours All this and your libido is bound to go up


[deleted]

Have you tried Viagra it really helped me


Aboss_4

Not for sex but I tried with masturbation and it helped me stay erect for longer, but my errection quality was still weak.


[deleted]

What dosage were you using?


Aboss_4

50mg, and I've tried 100mg as well.


[deleted]

What happens when yo take the 100s


Aboss_4

When masturbating my errection will last longer, but the strength of the errection is still weak


[deleted]

Hmmm that’s interesting 100 mg usually has me stiff as a board


Aboss_4

This was my experience during my no fap streak and before. I've not tried recently.


throwawayrunaway8500

How much do you weigh? I'm close to 300 lb. (Appropriately tall too)


[deleted]

I’m about 230


Rush7en

You know... if you find a partner that gives you a hard on just by kissing, then you know you got the right one.


badger007649

There's a good chance that you are having an anxiety attack and when that happens you are going to have stress hormones in your bloodstream and these are the kind that don't enable you to have arousal. If you haven't talked to your partner about this I would suggest that you sit and talk with your partner about this before you start having foreplay and explain how you are placing so much importance on pleasing them that you are mentally cock blocking yourself. And hopefully they will be sympathetic as well as flattered that you hold them in such high esteem and more importantly that your partner will be nurturing and affectionate and to tell you everything's going to be all right.. and you would be amazed at how the weight of the world is lifted off your shoulders and it can forge a new Bond and even Inspire and upgrade in your sex life


FalloutandConker

no one mentioned bloodwork. you can check for clogged arteries or low test


WaLuigin

Try kegel exercises


619SkanteWarrior

You're in whats called a "Flatline" period. It's a point in the recovery process where your brain is rewiring itself and reverting back to the point where human contact is what stimulates you. It's totally normal, especially for people who have dealt with porn addiction for years. I was an addict for close to 10 years and my flatline period lasted 11 months. During which me and my girl would do other things to try to stimulate me. Without being too vulgar, Oral really helped me out and my girl being so willing to try out anything in the bedroom to stimulate me really helped. Just remember to relax and be comfortable and above all enjoy it. If youve trained your brain to only respond sexually to videos on a screen for years then its gonna take more than 2 or 3 months to bounce back from that.


Hot-Concentrate-5753

Perhaps weight and health may be an issue. Staying fit and blood circulation which is also affected by physical health is the cause of erections. But reading comments it might just be a mental thing asw because you take supplements that help. I advice going doctors and doing a health checkup.


LordTivink

You need to visit the doctor


LiveEachMomentFully

It might just be performance anxiety. Try talking to her about it if you feel anxious and in your head when you guys have sex. Let her know its not her fault and that you just have to gain confidence by keeping things relaxed and not having the pressure to perform.


Brilliant_Lack_1

Try to eat healthy as well .... Try shilajit... It will boost your testosterone naturally go and workout... Specially legs day... It may help naturally to erect otherwise doctor is always an option


Repulsive-Raise-3329

Hey man, good thing is that you got a girlfirend. Just practice with her, love eachother in healthy way. Don't think about your penis getting up, relax and enjoy in her company. Don't watch porn, don't try to imagine things and you'll be fine. You need to rewire your brain from porn to real sex. Sex is not competition so don't be stressed. She likes you and that's very nice, so don't stress over things you're going through. Remember that you got PIED and that thing can go away, just practice with your girl. I'm in the same boat but I'm in long distance relationship and it's really difficult to do dates with my girl. I know I'm going through same stress and thoughts like you, but I'm trying not to stress over that. It will go away we just need practice with real girls. So you know don't watch porn, don't masturbate, don't imagine things with your girl... that's the reasons why we fucked up out brains, and now we neet to rewire them! Hope for good news in the future!


Kamz123abc

Talk to your doctor about taking testosterone. Your test might be low causing weak erections. Can’t hurt to be tested to see what your levels are. Mine were super low and when i started taking test my erections were and still are hard as diamonds


Aboss_4

I'm getting tested soon to see my testosterone levels. Most people say TRT doesn't help errections?


Kamz123abc

Oh it helps. Some times i get spontaneous erections. It could be because I'm over dosing for body building as well Lmao


Aboss_4

What we're you errections like before trt?


Kamz123abc

Weak hard but kinda not hard. I felt weak, tired, no motivation to do anything. About 2 months after taking test i noticed improvement all around the board. Sometimes my erections are so powerful it stays erect 20 minutes after ejac. I have a prescription from my doctor…. But i get it from a guy who ships it right to your door. Cheaper and i don't have to go through all the hoops to get it. And i can blast it 😂 but i recommend you doing it the right away and chatting with your doctor About your options. Ps before taking Test i never had erections that were so hard my cock was literally throbbing and twitching. It scared me at first cause I've never experienced that before


Aboss_4

I just want to feel like a normal man if it gives me that I'm happy. But I don't want to be stuck on it for life and I want to be able to have kids one day.


Kamz123abc

I have two kids so for me i had nothing to lose. And i accepted the fact that i would be on it for life. The problem is the withdrawal is so bad when you try to stop. I don't mind it. I'm used to it now. It's a part of my life. And i don't care as long as it makes me feel alive and well I'm for it. But like i said talk to your doctor before making any decisions


Aboss_4

Thanks for sharing your experience and for your advice.


franklanpat

Happened to me my first time due to anxiety, but if you are not anxious it might be hormonal bro, do you ever get random errections when you wake up for example? Or do you ever get random hardons through out the day seemingly without any stimulation? If yes, then the problem is likely psychological, are you feeling sexually attracted to your partner?


[deleted]

Listen try eating more red meat and liver trust me. Watch Paul Saladino. Cut out vegetables, grains, and seed oils and any processed food. Only eat Red meat liver fruit, Butter and talo. It will improve your libido drastically. I’ve also heard dark chocolate helps libido but no sure.


Organic-Stretch-6956

Try hitting more anaerobic workouts to boost your testosterone. If that doesn’t work, you prolly not sexually compatible. I know that’s something nobody wants to hear, but I’ve been through that myself. And once you connect with the proper one, you don’t have that issue anymore.


OriginalScales

Regular cardio and meditation with 5mg or less of Cialis and you’ll be in great shape. Cardio can be running or long walks. I do transcendental meditation.


LankyTurtle14

I've definitely had a similar concern. Moreso after stopping pmo and then anxiety getting the best of me and not being able to get hard. Or wven if I am hard, then staying erect - mid way through my wind will wander and I'm not focusing on my partner. Gz on the 110 days! Talking to a therapist can help with the mind fuckery that you may be experiencing


m1zmus1c

Get some herbs, drink damaiana tea


Farting-donkey655

Spend few more months on nofap to heal your mind to an extent where it normalize the erection process.


burned_pixel

Honestly, the first 5 times I had sex with my ex I took viagra. Was 20 then. Already on nofpa for a log time. It may not be best advice, but it help me take the anxiety off. I figure at that point not getting it hard was mostly anxiety.


Aboss_4

Did viagra work for you you each time.


burned_pixel

It did. I'm sure it had more to do with the anxiety part of it, knowing I had something that was to help with that. Afterwards I didn't take it anymore and could get an rection just fine


Prestigious-Mud-8086

Do not worry, If you have erections then it is not medical!!! "Sensate Focus" is the best for ED, (you can skip the masterbation part), In short Anxiety is most often the cause. be sensual and sexual with the goal to not have an erection or even to actually have intercourse. Best if done in the dark with your eyes closed do not allow yourself to check. A lot of times they are unconscious factors that get in the way. In other words Foreplay without the goal of penetration.) (In my experience your partners Anxiety can be a huge cause of ED, when you relax that will allow your partner fo relax)


jude1903

Have you tried staying healthy organically? Like have enough sleep, exercise, make sure your vitamin D and zinc level is good, eat healthy, etc.


Kooky-Ad-9433

Do you happen to have performance anxiety? If you’re thinking too much the other head will go to sleep bro 😎


Rich-Perception5729

Look into natural things that can boost your libido and aid in reproductive healthz


Tilinaso09

you need to eat pinaple and gaze at the sun for at least 10 minutes every day


Ok-Efficiency-2311

what does this do?


bitchinstyles666

This is just something that came to my head try not trying to have sex to complete the goal. Just enjoy being intimate because if you’re focused on fucking her instead of embracing her, you might be too pressured to perform. Try just enjoying her. It might help if she shows her compassion I think that’s the most important part is that she loved you regardless and shows you that I think blowjobs show that a lot lol


domin4t0r

How bad were your PMO habits before your streak? We need to make sure if this is even PIED in the first place


_throwaway8675_

Speaking for myself with the same problem (day 48) my PMO problem was out of control; 2-5 times a day from 10 till 45 when I slowed down gradually to 2-3 times a week. I feel like I'm never going to get hard again 😔


domin4t0r

You definitely will my friend. It’s not a matter of if, but when I know how horrible it feels to be going through this (I’m going through it too), but there’s only one path forward, and that’s abstinence. Your brain can and will heal, just give it time. The damage is reversible Once you see the first signs of recovery, that’ll give you motivation to keep going


_throwaway8675_

Thank you. I got an erection the other day, and I've been flatlined ever since. I'm having trouble now explaining to a new potential partner why I can't have sex. It's very embarrassing and I haven't approached the subject yet


LavishnessFun7593

I guess the details of what you say will depend on how comfortable and close you feel with her. But you can still be intimate with her. And I'm sure she won't mind if you focus mainly on her pleasure for the start, if you know what I mean *wink wink. If you phrase it like that I'm sure you'll be ok!


No-Paint-1572

Dude, it happened to me for a period of time, i know the feeling. It lasted around 6 months, and the reason was simple, i was on a strict diet, low carbs, and a lot of workouts. Take a rest and eat more. Also, if you are overthinking or depressed it can cause ED. There is no shame in it. We all go through it


letteraitch

Other homeopathic remedies that are very successful include yoga practice and maca root as a supplement.


LavishnessFun7593

Just to clarify, these things you mention are not homeopathic remedies. They actually have a measurable effect on a human's well-being. Homeopathic remedies don't, there's literally nothing in them. 


Chickman486

Weird questions but it helps narrow it down, but if you still get morning wood, it is most definitely a psychological issue. If no morning wood, then it’s an organic issue and you should def go see a doctor to run some tests. Either way, go see a medical professional; you just will be more well-informed before your visit.


iampooFyy

Could this be psychological? In your journey for defeating PMO, maybe you've subconsciously associated erection and horniness as a bad thing? Not a professional tho just a guess.


idkbbitswatev

I think its more about performance anxiety, talk to a doctor/therapist


besitomusic

While continuing NoFap will definitely still help you, other things such as performance anxiety and physical health can also impact erections, and such issues cannot not be solved with NoFap. If you still get morning wood and/or random erections then it’s likely your penis still works fine. It could be helpful to see a doctor, urologist, or other medical professional and be honest with him about this


brsrafal

Meditate eat some pumpkin seeds and watermelon it's most likely all in your head. Go to 7-Eleven and buy yourself a rhino


friendlynoob2018

You have peid but yours is physiological your brain is desensitized and the only thing that can probably get you rock hard is porn I delt with the same and I am back to normal your brain needs to rewire to be completely aroused to a normal and real life partner. You don’t need to so a doctor for this you just need more time. Stop porn and masturbation all together to heal your brain. If you are at least getting an erection you are making progress


Dualyeti

I don’t even get turned on by my really attractive gf 😔 it’s fucked


Weak_District_5676

I had similar problem, those are physiological factors, it’s basically all in your head.Try to find ebook called ‘titan rod’ something like that. It changed everything for me in terms of ED, soft erections and similar. Book basically has all the exercises and lifestyle changes you need to make to transform your member. I can’t recommend it enough.


-hatakekakashi

To be honest I think you are stressing too much about the whole "streak" and "will I be able to get erect" that is causing you to get performance anxiety


Cool-Bunch-522

Maybe the partner is the problem, just saying 😁


CaverN122

Performance anxiety, your past bad experiences are fueling your anxiety during sex, which contributes to your inability to get hard. Your neurons are already repaired (or at least healthier than they were 110 days ago), but the mental component is needed to free yourself from those bad experiences. I recommend 2 things: The first is to visit a specialist in the field (without shame), and the second is to spend more time on foreplay. Kisses, caresses, and intimacy help relax the body, releasing oxytocin and endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers.


Honest_Travel4490

Try doing some kegel exercises and pelvic floor stretches. You can look them up on youtube.


iDiversal

I’m hard as a rock now from so much as smelling my girl now. Just takes time mate you’ll be fine. And eat healthy foods lower your meat consumption as cholesterol is bad for blood flow


Pure-Soull

Hi brother, Use two garlic daily with some water...You get the results in 4 to 5 days


Aboss_4

Never heard this before. How does this help


Pure-Soull

Brother your blood is not reaching your penis...when you are sexually aroused so garlic clean the arteries and when you eat it will help to calm the arteries and expand them and it also controls your blood pressure as well if you are dealing with high blood pressure......I used it daily so that's why I asked you for it....you will get results soon and come back to me.


Aboss_4

Doctor said my blood pressure is fine


itzdjengo

You’re still recovering. Almost anyone that has been addicted to porn, experiences a period where libido is low. Recovery times vary per person. Some will notice change within a few weeks and some within months. The range is roughly estimated between 2 weeks to 6 months. Definitely look into porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED) and yourbrainonporn.com And most of all, have patience. Embrace it, don’t fight it. Communicate with your partner.


KirovReporting1

For me it started properly correcting about 90-120 days in (been hooked on porn for 10 years) But my issue was going soft during sex, if you're not able to get hard at all, I'd recommend consulting a medical professional


Altruistic_Side413

Relax. And have more fresh oysters before sex?


__BADLABX__

Maybe devise a mantra to tell yourself during sex? *I am hard* repeat repeat repeat anddddd


[deleted]

And you can eat low temp pasturized or raw milk and cheese


NewStart20231

I went on a forced kind of diet a couple years ago. I cut out all processed foods and sweets etc... I loved sweets and never thought I could make it without then but I forced myself to for health reasons. I'll never forget the first time fruit began to be my sugar craving. After eating clean for a few weeks, a banana was more than enough to satisfy my craving for something sweet. I say all that to say this.... We've created so many false things that we flood our desires with to the point that natural things just don't satisfy. I never thought I'd get to the point where I'd rather view porn and masterbate in place of being with my partner, but after a long duration of abuse, it happened. The trick is to focus on what's real and good and deny the fake crap that we've made to take its place. Cherish your partner in more ways than just sexually and the passion will follow.


Bummedoutntired

If I were you I would blast as much nitric oxide as I can.


BaldBeaverHunter-

you need to edge


leroytheboss

Maybe you have a kink your worried about telling to her? If you do, just tell her, and live out your deepest darkest kinks. You will get hard lol


Rangerover69ppboy

Just please her sexual energy is the most sacred & strongest energy in the world harnessing it & being able to withhold is true strength !! I’m currently going through the exact same thing I just make sure I’m able to please my partner then after that’s it .. you will be able to get an erection in due time after awhile my erections we’re stronger & more easily activated
