yes, give up porn and masterbation do help overall, but unfortunately this (in my experience) doesnt help you actually get better from weed-related ED any faster. Maybe it will if you were masturbating a lot, like you say you were.
Im at 20 months now, and have made more progress from before. As you probably saw in this thread, I had no sex drive for almost 8 months; then started feelign it a little inkling after 8-12 months, a little more 12-16, and so on. I still had ED all this time though.
Now I get morning wood most nights, and some days I feel pretty turned on, but other days its still very low. I know some fluctuations are normal; but everything is still a little low. But, I am getting closer to not having ED - last week I was able to stay hard with a partner (no meds) for some time but eventually went soft. But definitely improving.
The thing Ive noticed though, is that when I have/had low libido, having sex or masterbating doesnt even feel good. Its just meh. orgasm doesnt feel that great. I get distracted when having sex (using ed meds) and often think about other things, waiting for it to end. Its only in recent months that things have gotten better, where I actually really want to do it. For a while, it was just something I really didnt look forward to; and only did for my SO.
