I made the decision to completely quit porn and masturbation at the start of August given the impact it was starting to have on my relationship. I've tried many times to quit over the last 15 years since I started as a teenager but always failed.

What's made a difference for me personally this time has been reframing it as it being my decision to take control and find better strategies to cope with boredom, anxiety etc rather than guilting myself through religion and the need to be "clean" as before. If that works for you, that's fantastic, but it wasn't working for me.

Anyhow, six weeks in and for the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing a form of PIED (Porn Induced ED). Literally nothing turns me on and it's starting to cause issues in my relationship. So now nofap is becoming harder out of sheer sexual frustration.

For those who have experienced this, how long did it last for you and what worked (if anything) in fixing it?
