[Catch 22]

I've read through most of the NoPorn/NoFap threads, but seems like most of the posts are focused on sexual desire more than erections.

Lately I'm finding myself too often struggling to get it up or keep it up with these garbage DC girls, especially if I'm drunk or use a condom, so I'm actually debating trying either NoPorn or NoPorn/NoFap. The sexual desire is very strong, but it's almost like I have ED 30-50% of the time with 6's and below.

Today's my 3rd day without jerking and I've already noticed more sexual dreams (no wet ones, haven't had one of those since my late teens, I think), but again, feels like even fewer erections. And on those days when I jerk it twice, I seem to be rock hard the entire next day. I don't get it.

My questions:
#1 When I go a few days without jerking it, my sex drive seems to go down and I get fewer erections. Have any of you experienced that or it just me?

#2 Do any of you who've tried the NoPorn/NoFap have any advice from your experiences on what would work best? Which approach brings the raging erections that even an average lizard with poor technique and a condom can't kill?

Seems like the options are:
1) Jerk but don't use porn
2) Edge - jerk but don't come - with porn (get the blood flowing?)
3) Edge but don't use porn
4) NoPorn/NoFap

Question 1: My horniness ebbs and flows for me, but with no porn, I find women I encounter on a day-to-day basis sexier. I have less morning wood, but easier boners around cute girls.

Question 2: I've read that men have decreased sex drives if they go more than a few days without jerking, so maybe do it every 4-5 days or whenever you feel really horny. But don't use porn. If you can't cum without porn, then you're probably not that horny and just bored.

If my soldier doesn't salute as usual, I just do a week or two of weighted squats. Makes a world of difference -- but I'm pushing 40.

I haven't partaken in porn in a long time, and I'm not a fapper anymore, either. I don't even fap to finish with a gal; if she can't get me off, she's got a problem.

Do you wear briefs? They always increase the risk of "smush push". Condoms don't bother me -- make sure you use a proper fit, especially if you're girthy.

Weight squats, 2-3 Brazil nuts a day (it really works), red ginseng tea (made from root, not a bag) -- I provably raised my testosterone (lab-proven) back to where it was when I was 20-25.

Now a gust of wind gets me going.

If I keep nofapping, I'll be sure to leave DC to find these "cute girls" you speak of and see if I have the same result.

During this period you should minimize anything that provides arousal. Avoid sex, porn, masturbation, fantasies, even looking at women in sexy outfits.

No way in hell!

I appreciate all your thoughts and look forward to some more.

I'm leaning toward cutting out or cutting down on porn. Will definitely try brazil nuts. I'd never heard that one before.

And landing more 7+s, of course...

It is actually really embarrassing if you haven't wanked/fapped/jerked off, or had sex, for a week or so because minor sexual thoughts or just seeing a moderately decent girl gives you a hard-on... even if you're in public or at work. I concur with those above that say if you do 'relapse', don't use porn, use imagination.

Most agree not to avoid sex. The thing is you will be so focused on it that even if you don't have a girlfriend you will find one and get it done very quickly.

Once you go a couple weeks you will never want to go back. The confidence and feelings you control are like holding back a freight train.

All these other things you mention are a slippery slope. Don't even go there. Deal with it.
