I'm twenty-two and my knob's not working properly. It's getting sixty percent hard then giving up.
The GP I saw today put it down to anxiety, but true to GP form barely asked any questions so once I was out I though of half a dozen other things I could have told her. Oh, and the sheet of paper informing me of my "chest pains" and "three weeks of erectile dysfunction" fell out of my back pocket on the way home, so hopefully it's a windy fucking weekend because this town isn't that fucking big and my name isn't that fucking generic.
It says moan so I'm ticking it, even if this is the OP.
Try taking an L-arginine supplement every day for a month and see how it goes, they're pretty cheap and harmless so there's nothing to lose.
L-arginine is important for your circulation, especially down there. You probably need a bit extra to make up for your extra exercise or change in diet.
Also what toothpaste do you use? Have you changed it recently?
It's a serious question, bacteria living in your mouth can produce enough nitric-oxide to have an effect on your blood pressure and circulation. The anti-bacterial toothpastes can have a knock-on effect here.
As a medical professional I beg to differ. You appear to be dangerously healthy and it's putting your chap at risk. I suggest you throw the fucking tofu out and have a few pints.
My toothpaste changes all the time as I usually buy whatever's on offer, usually it's Arm & Hammer because I like the slight grittiness to it. Sometimes I forget to brush before bed.
I am slightly concerned my knob's powered by sugar. I also thought I might have tugged the life out of it, but there are blokes who pay women in spiked heels to stomp on their cocks and as far as I know they still work. Or is this why they do that? Because their thingies don't work? Christ, I hope I don't end up like one of those berks. I don't have the money for it for starters.
Well believe it or not you might be right. You say you've "given up" sugar- As in, cut all traces of it from your diet entirely? Giving up any aspect of your diet cold turkey is never something I can recommend. Your body needs ALL the nutrients, they all serve a purpose in your metabolic processes, and going from one extreme to another without giving your body chance to adapt will rarely go without side effects.
All things in moderation. This is why all those fad diets are bollocks. You might think giving up sugar is good because sugar = baaaad but that simply isn't true, glucose is in fact perhaps the most important molecule in biochemistry. Your body might be having a hard time adapting to the process of converting sugar from other carbohydrates, resulting in your difficulty getting it up.
Also, no, the guys who pay to have their bollocks stood on are just poor souls who have experienced too much hedonistic excess, to the point that only the most extreme is capable of making them tingle downstairs. Like the film Hellraiser.
>>4252 >Your body might be having a hard time adapting to the process of converting sugar from other carbohydrates, resulting in your difficulty getting it up.
Nonsense. Starches start getting broken into glucose the second they touch the saliva in your mouth, and it's almost completely broken down in the stomach. At the end of the day there's very little difference between a spoonful of pure sugar and a spoonful of super-low-GI branflakes, the same amount of sugar gets into your blood from both and the only difference is timing.
Anyway, I wouldn't be too worried about the effect of cutting out sugar, the circulatory system and the dick should still work perfectly in someone in starvation mode. If anything, sugar would be more likely to make you limp than a lack of it, due to the effects of high insulin levels.
Also if glucose is so important, please explain what ketosis is and why it works?
>the circulatory system and the dick should still work perfectly in someone in starvation mode.
You're talking out of your arse, I can tell you from personal experience that malnourishment and being underweight made it nigh on impossible to get a stiffy. Things improved dramatically once I put a bit of the body mass back on.
>>4254 I didn't say malnourished or underweight. I mean in the state of having a gone few days without food but otherwise healthy.
Being very underweight or deficient in certain nutrients will definitely have that effect though, at the very least your body wont be making enough testosterone in that state.
No, no, I'm alright. My knob seems to be sort of okay, but I'm still not totally convinced. I'm going to do what someone suggested earlier in the thread and just ignore the thing for a few days. I think he said a month actually, but that's just absurd. I'd have more luck cartwheeling to the flipping moon.
14 - 21 days - due to drop in prolactin, dopamine sensitivity increases, you can start to enjoy the little things in life again, no longer emotionally numb, energy levels start to increase big time, confidence also increases.
30 days - cravings and flashbacks noticeably reduce.
30-60 days - PIED symptoms disappear or improve. Erections become rock solid, unless your PIED symptoms are severe. Confidence keeps rising.
42 days - ΔFosB (DeltaFosB) that has accumulated around the nucleus accumbens starts to remove itself. This makes it possible for the neurons in the porn-addicted pathways to now start to slowly break up over time without use.
90 days - considered a full reboot for most people, however people with severe PIED will need longer. Confidence still rising.
120 - 150 days - symptoms of severe PIED disappear or improve.
What? What are you even talking about? After tugging myself off? No way, otherwise I'd have had a resting heart rate of seventeen-thousand by my fourteenth birthday.
>2-3 days - guilt and shame seems to decrease.
I don't have either of those, because I didn't grow up being ogled like a Fleshlight by a priest for most of my childhood, unlike the dippy Yank who wrote this.
>7 days - brain fog lifts.
Oh, "brain fog", yeah, that sounds real and not so vague as to be applied to dozens of different "symptoms".
>14 days - prolactin starts to drop.
What if I like squirting milk out of my tits?
>14 - 21 days - due to drop in prolactin, dopamine sensitivity increases, you can start to enjoy the little things in life again, no longer emotionally numb, energy levels start to increase big time, confidence also increases.
What the fuck do you have to wank to in order to become "emotionally numb"?
>30 days - cravings and flashbacks noticeably reduce.
Flashbacks to what? Did most nofap tossers have their first wank to Platoon or something? Is that why they can't cry?
>30-60 days - PIED symptoms disappear or improve. Erections become rock solid, unless your PIED symptoms are severe. Confidence keeps rising.
I don't have "PIED", idiot.
>42 days - ΔFosB (DeltaFosB) that has accumulated around the nucleus accumbens starts to remove itself. This makes it possible for the neurons in the porn-addicted pathways to now start to slowly break up over time without use.
I'm sure people who need a support group to help with their wanking are the ones who've finally solved the mysteries of the human mind, yes.
>90 days - considered a full reboot for most people, however people with severe PIED will need longer. Confidence still rising.
No one has ever gone 90 days without wanking, not after their first wank. And if they did their mattress would damper than a nine-hundred quid a month flat in South London.
>120 - 150 days - symptoms of severe PIED disappear or improve.
Okay. Also you have to move to Iran because seeing a woman's bare shoulders induces a fit.
