Nowadays, I just use porn for like 2 minutes to get a bit excited and after that I masturbate to my imagination.
I feel there's nothing wrong with masturbating/sex/fucking a fleshlight, as all this gives me natural pleasure.
If you had a wife, wouldn't you be fucking her everyday?
I feel it's the porn that really destroys the brain and causes symptoms like ED because it's responsible for an unrealistic shot of dopamine which ultimately results in numbing it to realistic situations.
I'm on Day 17 of doing this and I feel much better and liberated as compared to how I felt when I was on a strict NoFap streak.
Of course there is a little loss of sex drive the morning after I jack off but I've seen it quickly returns by afternoon/evening and I'm even experiencing morning wood almost on a daily basis.
As my brain gets restored to its factory settings, I feel this recovery period will get even shorter.
Moreover, it's much easier to maintain the Noporn streak this way.
Not saying this is the best way. It just worked for me and I feel infallibly confident of maintaining this streak as it seems more natural(and fun) to me.

As they state above, strive to be active to expend energy and you'll be rewarded with more energy to approach and interact with real girls.
Lastly, and again, come back to these posts and READ if you have an urge, it'll stop you when you are reminded how false all this digital crap is.

Well done.
Please give us a few more details.
Have you been with girls during this time ? Did you "peek" and look at porn ? How have the urges been in general ?
What has improved in your life ?
I'll preface by saying I've been at this NoFap deal for at least four years. Trying to quit, going long stretches of NoFap or NoPorn. This is nothing new.
About a year ago that I realized I never really snapped the porn addiction. Even on long NoFap streaks, I would still edge and get a little dopamine rush looking at porn. It was a regular occurrence and did not help with NoFap.
For most of 2016 I would go a few weeks without jerking off, then maybe watch some porn...I really half-assed things. I had other business going on and if I wanted to jerk off I wouldn't resist as much as I should. In the summer I had some health issues and used masturbation to cope. This was bad so I started NoFap again, but then I was disappointed in performance in bed.
Towards the end of the year I started trying edging (once again) to extend performance. This helped some but I found my performance issues to be mental, not physical. I would get worked up and excited, then blow my load. At this point I was frustrated with edging. I did it for months and did not see results, PLUS I was cuming a few times a week so mental clarity was done. I was using porn because I wouldn't naturally get hard on cue to edge. So I stopped.
One of the issues I was dealing with during edging is pelvic floor imbalance. I have a strong kegel and can move my dick on command, but can't figure how to reverse kegel for my life. I tried doing reverse kegels but it's difficult to dedicate time to.
At this time I was reading PEGym.com a lot. There is A LOT of broscience on that forum, but the guys mean well and post their real experiences. There's one guy on there who really stuck out. His username is JamesMonroe, he tried edging, death grip, NoFap, etc. After many countless attempts he finally got over PE by "having sex a lot with his gf." He had posts where he was blunt about it all, explaining how the exercises helped but he never got over the hump until the was banging constantly. Months of sex in a committed relationship reset his mental pathways and cleared up his pelvic floor.
Therefore I provide the following hypothesis of my problems:
Problem #1 - Mental - Extended porn sessions builds up dopamine in my brain until I jerk off and blow my load quickly. This is how I've jacked off for most of my life. When I was a kid I would watch porn on the family computer and then go to the bathroom to jerk off. When I was in college I had a roommate and would do the same. Now out of college, I only jack off when I fail NoFap and go down the rabbithole (softcore, hardcore, jerkoff).
This explains first-time performance anxiety. So excited to bang a new chick I blow fast.
This problem is an uncalibrated dopamine feedback loop. My brain gets extremely excited when good things are happening, and sad when things are going bad. This also correlates with anxiety/panic attacks I've had most of my life (topic for another thread). Curing anxiety by getting off prescription pills has calmed my mind more than any drug, so instead of having my brain ride peaks and valleys, I want it to be steady.
Problem #2 - Pelvic floor imbalance - I've been practicing kegels for a long time, people were preaching it on the original NoFap subreddit. They're fun to do, so I would do them while watching porn and even during sex.
How I plan to fix these problems -
#1 - long term NoFap and NoPorn. At least a year, to rewire my brain. I have reached 3 months and have confidence I will continue strong.
#2 - have sex as much as possible to correctly rewire my brain. Even though I racked up some notches, I didn't have a serious girlfriend until I was 20, so my sex life was sporadic, drunk, and under the influence of regular masturbation. Right now I have 2 girlfriends I'm banging raw. My performance is much better because I'm relaxed. I know these girls, and enjoy the experience.
#3 - meditation, and lots of deep squats to stretch the pelvic floor.
#4 - reverse kegels. All the time. I do it whenever I'm bored or thinking about my dick. It's actually relaxing.
So far the experiment is going well. I have sex at minimum once a week. My mental clarity is off the charts, thanks to dialing in all aspects of my life. If I don't bang for 6 days I start getting strong strong urges. I stay busy during the day so they don't affect my concentration, but they do strike hard at night. I regularly take OptiZinc and high dose magnesium which helps me knock the fuck out. If I get horny at night I'll put on some meditation or hypnotism tapes. If these don't work I take melatonin or 5-HTP.
I'm excited with how things are going. I know that if I lose these girls it'll be a challenge stocking my sex life up again, but that's what game is there for.

It is difficult to keep frame when this happens. Sometimes I am able to make her cum, but then there are times when I cum too quickly.
I also have put off dealing with my phimosis, this probably exacerbates the problem; as in certain positions it tugs at my foreskin and can hurt. I have seen a GP and will get some surgery done if home remedies don't work out very well.
I have always had these issues since I can remember, but because with some girls I am completely fine, I just passed it off as being nerves or not using enough lube etc. With my last girlfriend I was able to go on for 6-7 times a night. Usually if I had issues with one girl, then soon after I would start seeing another girl who I would be fine with. However there is clearly a problem here that needs to be readdressed. Although I am guessing this is mainly physiological or psychological (nofap related) rather than been a chronic physical problem, or T related.
I went through stages of doing nofap, however I never did the complete 90 day cleanse/reboot, or whatever it is called. I have noticed significant improvements in terms of stamina and mental attitudes. However I feel like from using pornography during my teenage years, there has been some sort of mental block; which puts extra pressure on when I am about to have sex with a girl that I care about or have some sort of investment with.
Anyway I will keep an update on how it goes. Good to know that groups like this exist, really.

You're not attracted to that girl anymore buddy. It's happened to me, it would take work to get my dick up and once I was inside of her it got soft quickly. This was despite fucking her 5+ times in the beginning. Then it would get hard for any other bitch easily and it was like nothing happened, return to the regular girl...and the problems popped up again.
I'd say take a break from her or distance yourself for a bit. It will reset things. Banging a bunch of other girls will too. I recommend giving some space and fucking other hoes. Also, less drama helps.
In other news, 37 days in! I feel like my horniness has plateaued but my can get hard on the spot relatively quickly.

i had phimosis too and cured it completely naturally by stretching the skin regularly. I would really advise you to not go for surgery as it's completely curable by regular stretching. i never even used any cream either. Start off by pulling and stretching the foreskin as much as possible till you are able to make it loose enough to roll it back over the glans/head. Once that's done it's fairly easy. Just make it a habit to pull it back whenever you can and slowly, the skin becomes loose enough. I did this in 2012 and if i remember correctly, took me about 1 month or maybe even lesser.
What was more difficult, at least for me, was the process of desensitizing my glans. Took almost 3-4 painful and patient months.

Desensitising your glans is the part where you'll REALLY have to be patient. The key is to go slowly and just keep touching your glans with your fingers and running them under water/drops. I used to have a dedicated time at night for it where I would just keep on getting as many touches as possible. However, don't traumatize the little chap. There really is not magic trick for desensitization. It's a game of patience and continuous touching at least once to twice a day for about 20 minutes i would say. After about a month and a half of doing that, I got the balls to wear my undies on with the skin rolled back. I remember that day so clearly. I'm a teacher and before I went in the class, I was dreading that if the shit hit the fan and it suddenly became super painful, it'll probably be the most embarrassing situation but luckily it did not and I was so elated at the end of the day that I felt I had achieved nirvana. Once you're able to get to that stage, it's fairly easy since you get the confidence of keeping the skin rolled back while wearing clothing and sleeping and hence the desensitisation becomes very quick. I can just say that if your glans are as sensitive as mine were, then just don't give up no matter how tough the process is. The good news for you can be that since you already engage in a lot of sexual activity, I'm pretty sure your glans must already be at a better stage than mine were.
Anyway, very few people can empathize with someone with this problem since not many people discuss it openly and there isn't much material on the internet. But trust me man, it's totally worth it. Knowing that you took the tougher route but did not get operated on your dick is a huge confidence booster. And what more, it's the pathway to the kind of pleasure you would not have experienced before. I remember being so scared of hand jobs and blow jobs before the desensitisation. But after this, I realised what I was missing. The first handjob I got after the desensitisation was something straight from heaven. It's funny because you realise how much people with normal penises take all this for granted.
Keep the results in mind and you'll get through it. Good luck!
