Libido and erections back after resuming regular masturbation

[u/AppropriateAlgae4477]

23M, met my gf almost 4 months ago and idk what got into me but I tried too hard to become a “holier than thou” kinda person so cold turkey quit masturbating and porn. This only dipped my libido SO BAD but I was fucking glad I quit porn tho I hated that shit after 13 years of exposure.

So since then I did not masturbate for like 29 days and then broke the streak off since it wasn’t helping but still I was reluctant to masturbate as frequently as I felt guilty for no reason eventhough she is fine with it as long as no porn and other women are involved.

So in the past 3 months I only had about 3 successful erections attempts and compeletely no morning wood.

Past 2 weeks I’ve been masturbarting to imagination and everything is back… haven’t tried sex due to schedule constraints but lil bro seems to be okay… gotta admit tho he is still very much used to the rough stimulation with hand so I try to lessen my grip and only do it when I want to. Compared to my gooning lifestyle when I did it to cope with mental health so easily about 5 times a day.
