PIED abstaining completely or not

[mza]

Hello everybody
I think i have PIED !!!
I started to fap about 4 years ago
Initially it was seldom, then i started more but i never did more than once a day
I never had any issues until recently:
It all started a couple of months ago when i started to focus on girth gains and used porn to stay hard
Initially (first months) all went great ... but then i noticed towards the end of my sessions i couldnt stay hard, so i stopped
the next days my dick was completely dead
the first days no erection at all, couple of days later erections had to be forced but very weak, after some time they got better but i thought maybe looking at pictures only wouldnt be the same thing as watching porn
now i read that i should not watch porn or pictures, should not masturbate, should not orgasm.

But some say edging can work wonders regarding eq

So should i edge without porn to get eq back up again or not

Because i think that if i abstain completely i make it even worse

And what about sex ?

Thank you

Not in favour of prolonged non ejaculation.

Stop watching porn, it will cause PIED in many guys. Now it sounds to me like you may be experiencing negative PI's also. Give it a rest for a while and see if your erections improve.

Total rest, then follow up with structured stamina work to allow you to maximize your EQ while deconditioning from porn.

Take as much time as you need for your EQ and libido to build. Unless your issues are extremely severe and./or involve factors in addition to PIED, it shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks for you to note a substantial difference.

i dont think its severe
i get erections throughout the day
but if i want to get an erectio for exercice purposes its harder without porn
what you say about 3 weeks off ???

You're admittedly potent but you appear to have specific issues with negative conditioning.

One to two weeks' rest should be sufficient,
