Fixing PIED, fried dopamine system due to porn. Resetting arousal. Stronger erections.

What’s the best ways of approaching this in terms of supplements and mindset, and lifestyle?

Assuming testosterone is good, etc I’m talking more on the dopamine system, neurons, transmitters, signaling front

Just know it could take up to a yr in the most severe cases, but most dudes are good within 3-4 months.

Mindset? You're done with that. For life. No slip ups. Ever. Sex only.

Supplements? Supplemental UVB is the number 1 thing when it comes to repairing the dopaminergic arousal pathways. (if you aren't getting sufficient sunlight, which you probably aren't since it's winter)

Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating hormone is heavily involved in regulating sexual arousal and erections. So much so, that the best libido / ED med ever created (PT-141) is a derivative of aMSH.

For supplemental UVB, Sperti is the best choice, but it is pricey. You can build a similar light here https://optimizeyourbiology.com/diy-vitamin-d-sun-lamp

BTW- high intensity cardio is more neurotrophic than any nootropic you can take, so blasting cardio 5-7x a week will get you feeling good and probably cut the healing time by 50-75%

If you have those things dialed in (and assuming hormones are balanced) this supp stack might give you an extra 10% edge (yes, lifestyle is THAT much more important than taking pills)

- Uridine

- Polygala

- Citrulline

- Icariin

- Tribugen

- Gingko

- Rhodiola

In that stack we have stuff to upregulate dopamine receptors, increase BDNF, increase dopamine, increase bloodflow to brain and eggplant, and more

Any experience or opinion on 9-MBC? Supposed to upregulate dopamine sensitivity, restoring stimulant sensitivity etc. Using it now at 15mg sublingual in the morning.

It's very potent. Metabolites could potentially be neurotoxic. Not well studied enough. (this is why I don't talk about it)

It does tend to work well for restoring dopaminergic sensitivity though. Make sure you stay out of the sun while using it.
