Hi Guys, I will make this quick and to the point - did any of you experience problems where it was easy to stimulate yourself to an erection while laying on your back but almost impossible when your standing up? This is something that I am noticing for myself and I am worried about venous leak. Yes, I know its rare, but still, "position dependent ED" is one of the classic symptoms of Venous leak. Has anyone experienced standing erections problems that resolved with a reboot? One theory is that the brain can be conditioned to only get an erection while on your back as this is the most common PMO position (it was for me). Maybe a reboot would resolve this? Should I be focusing on having sex standing up to reprogram my brain ? Please share your experiences. Thank you.
This bs about venous leak...... listen, the people that have a venous leak cannot obtain an erection AT ALL because the blood keeps flowing out. I know a guy with a venous leak and he told me he never had an erection in his entire life. That is a serious leak. When you obtain an erection laying down but are unable to get an erection standing up, then you do not have a leak but you have conditioned the brain to have an erection laying down because most likely you have been watching porn siting down or laying down. I had the same problem and after a reboot this was cured. Please do not search all kinds of things about a venous leak because it will only terrify you. Did the same to me. But it is not true.
@user78848 - I did nofap for a solid 45 days and noticed improvement, but definitely not 100%. If I stayed on my nofap journey, perhaps it would have fully healed. Once I started seeing improvement, i got comfortable knowing that there is nothing physically wrong with me so I started my M habits again. I have refrained from PMO, but do it very rarely. PMO once a month, max. Even with just M, I feel like I am back to square one. So now I am back in this nofap journey, on day 15. I am in a middle of a terrible flatline. I am one of the unlucky ones that needs a true hard mode reboot to fix my problem as M seems to be just as bad for me as PMO. This is because when I M, I do fantasize about sexual encounters and feel that is brining me back to square one. I am now committed to hit 180 days in hard mode.
@MikeSilva - I agree, the venous think is very rare. With my 45 day nofap and noticeable improvement, I know that its definitely not venous. I still have PIED till this day however from just M, which really sucks. I love to masturbate, its so enjoyable, and I hate the fact that I cant do it anymore. Hopefully after a long hard reboot, I can incorporate it again and it not impact me
I stopped P + M completely. I enjoy sex with my wife 1000x better. Just stop M and have sex, the difference is unreal
I can only get semi erect while standing, even lying down it's difficult, only time I have ragin hard on is on morning when I wake up, but that only lasts about a minute or two after I wake up.
if anybody knows plz answer. what if i can maintain erection till i am fantasizing and and also not stimulating with hand but moment i stop fantasizing it goes flaccid ? what's this condition denotes something physical ?
Are you getting hard morning wood that lasts for 20-30 mins? If so, then you don't have anything wrong physically. You're probably close to a complete heal.
I'm confused by this, what is the need to stimulate yourself to an erection? the true sign of being healed from porn induced erectile dysfunction is getting an erection by simply being with your partner intimately, I consider myself healed and I never have to physically stimulate myself to achieve an erection, I just need my girlfriend naked next to me, the rest takes care of itself without even touching myself.
i have the same problem which is it is very difficult for me to keep in erection when standing, in addition to that it is not easy for me to get an erection without manual stimulation even with porn
