22 with porn induced erectile dysfunction?

[bummed_out]

The first two times I tried to have sex I couldn't get an erection at all, one time was sober one drunk. Then the next girl was kind of a 3-night stand over a weekend with the only improvement being getting a half-erection and penetrating momentarily before it was too flaccid to go on.

Now, I've met the woman of my dreams, definite soul-mate and drop dead gorgeous...I ended up telling her about my past failures in intercourse and she joked it would happen with us but I was sure it wouldn't because theres a real connection with this girl, unlike the other two. And she's beautiful too, out of my league even...But sure enough the other night it was time and of course I couldn't get an erection...

I managed to get a decent halfer at first when the clothes started coming off and she grabbed around, but then it just wimped out and went away...

I've looked at internet porn since I was 12, now I'm 22, There have been times where the internet porn addiction got kind of bad, but it always mellowed out to calmer more normal routines, but always frequent. Sometimes I'd masturbate daily, multiple times daily, but then other times I'd go for a few days or so without any porn or masturbation.

Either way this girl is really cool and understanding and we talk about it openly with next to no embarrassment on my part anymore, I was going to see a doctor but then we decided it might be porn induced or psychological, and after that night I've written off all porn and I'm not masturbating again for a while.

My question I guess is was this enough for any of you? What was your porn addiction like in level of seriousness/frequency?

I'm hoping just abstaining from any kind of porn or sexual release for a while and only allowing myself to get off with her will work...If not I'll be crazy bummed...but I guess I'd go to a doctor...I'm just hoping porn has Temporarily (hopefully very temporarily) given me this problem and its on its way out very soon.

Any help or anything at all is appreciated, its kind of hard to talk about this stuff openly with your friends or "the dudes" and my girlfriend isn't knowledgeable or experienced in this...

Why not start with reducing masturbations to begin with? To maybe once a week. Then next time do 2 weeks of abstinence, then 3, and so on. I'm sure this would cause some to relapse to the old routines though. But for some a depression sets in after weeks of abstinence and this can screw up motivation to do anything.

I have been worried my libido and my erections would cease altogether if I abstain for too long, but we are programmed to have erections during sleep to keep the penis in shape. I know my libido is there, my mind tells me so, but my penis fail to get the message. A naked girl is not enough anymore, thanks to porn.

I started abstinence 3 weeks ago before I found this website because I was bored of porn..I'm worried and depressed since I found this website as I believe I'm suffering from porn-induced ED..I had my last erection while watching porn ..I worry I cannot recover..Is this normal to feel stress and depressed? And is this normal during rebooting my brain? Someone please help me..For your information, I will be having final exam after two weeks..

I have the same issue. Im 24 and addicted to porn for over 10 years. I tried having sex with many girls but it goes soft... I tried libegrow and it worked the first time but never again... When i masterbate i used the same routine and it hits different nerves then that of a women.  i read somewhere you can train your penis to enjoy a women ... Im just lost

hey man this happened to me once too. first time ever drunk/girl not really hot: hard to get an erection, couldnt lose my virginity. second time, sober, but with weird mental funk from the first: didnt work, couldnt lose virginity. second girl again after approx. 7-8 attempts finally got it in a good number of times but was still kinda flacid. third girl: same thing but got over it quicker approx 2 or 3 times then got some confidence. dated her for awhile and everythings been fine ever since. the first time with the last couple girls i dated was still rough just due to the past mental thing. but now im fine. i realized its just about not thinking, your body was made to do this with no brain just relax. that first time drunk thing is the trigger for limp ****. it was for me anyway. so just power through it. eventually you'll just be like **** it and get rock hard.

I was doing good for awhile without having any issues with ED. My confidence was back than I did what most addicts do I reverted back to porn and masturbation. I was still able to acheive an erection until recently.

Now I have to reboot my brain again. It is possible to reboot to your brain. It worked for me but the real problem is being able to stay away from porn.

My wife had a baby a year ago and her chest size went down. I don't know if that has anything to do with it b/c I am a breast man. Regardless, I know that porn and masturbation is the main problem.

8th day of no PMO. I think that's the longest abstinence in my entire adult life. There's a small urge but nothing overpowering. No erections, low libido. Lots of going to the gym. Girls check me out. More eye contact, more relaxed. But overall pretty anti-social.

I fantasize about pretty extreme stuff off-and-on during my penis enlargement exercises because I need a half-assed hard-on to do them. But my sexdrive is almost zero even when I see a nice butt. There's steam coming out of my ears but no reaction down there.
