Too much porn/masturbation cause ED?

Hi I m a 28 year old and suffer some degree of ED in recent. I start masturbated since I m 19 and usually use porn as a form of visual stimiulation. I have observed that I have lost the ability to maintain erect during intercource or I only get weak erection. My question is: does masturbation in association with porn will "exhaust" my interest towards sex and create a negative impact on my ability to get aroused in real sex? I m worried cause I think I m still young to have physical cause  for ED. Any thought?

i still can get an erection, but no orgasmic feeling past my penis(you are supposed to feel it in your stomach, or your body. I think my brain is receiving it, but its not processing it. I was hoping for another MRI, to see any possible cause. Because i blabbed out that i got an MRI showing normal Head results back in 2013, when i was with KAISER. It couldve been an injury, i have no recollection of any injury capable of causing this, although the benadryl, with dextro, might have amplified the symptoms. my sense of smell is almost gone now as well,with taste. as smell is important part of a sexual experience. Now i that i think that all my symptoms are related to brain, i thought about a tumor as well. I went to several other forums to find any similar issue, i found some close diagnosis, but ended up in sq one.
@samm you seem to be capable of getting girls, easier than most people here, eventually you will find one that can get you hard, just lay of the beatings to your meat.

PMDER1  
That is horrible man, I do hope the cause is found and it can be treated.  That is a pretty serious medical issue, and I am annoyed by that doctor who thinks you are making this up. I realize sometimes things may be outside their scope of knowledge, they start to think that patients are making up the conditions. If they cant diagnose then refer you to someone that can. I pray you will be well man.

I too have an issue that I haven't mentioned on here but it's not as serious as yours PMDER1 and I am getting treated for it.  I did an MRI and found out that I have a pituitary microadenoma (very small non cancerous tumor on my pituitary gland).  The gland is responsible for my prolactin and dopamine level so, I am wondering if it has something to do with my addiction.  The symptoms of this includes poor or no erection as well as loss of morning wood.  So coupled with PMO I had two conditions affecting me that I didn't realize. Now more than ever I need to be off PMO as well as continue with medication and see if after six months when the tumor shrinks, if my penis will function the way it was meant to.

Sometimes I have a twitching/clicking feeling at the back and center of my head. I dont know if it is nerves or muscle tension, the doc didnt even consider it when i told him about it. His focus was more on the gland after the diagnosis.

SammyWinchester,
Hey bro, you sound like a real ladies man.
I am sure you will meet another girl and the connection will be better.
Sometimes you have to meet the ones that are not for you until you meet the one that is.  but i  definitely agree that spending time together will increase the attraction.  and may even improve sex. so when you get in a relationship, it will be a good experience.

Hi all,

Feeling a little dejected :-(

I met this really nice girl last Tuesday, we went for a drink and then had dinner and it was really nice... She then suggested we go to the movies last night... so I go to her place, we have a drink, then we go for dinner, then the movies, then we go back to her place for another drink, we watch a TV show (Bates Motel) we kiss, she tells me I can spend the night but she prefers that we go slowly, so no sex... then this morning she tells me she doesn't feel ready yet and that she's actually not that into me, at least not right now :-(

She said maybe if we spend more time together feelings will come, but she doubts it, and I doubt it too... I told her I wasn't prepared to wait for her to make up her mind and she said she understood... she said she wasn't sure if she wasn't ready yet to be with a man, or if it's just that she is not attracted to me..

I feel really surprised and sad because I really like her, and I thought she liked me back too, all her actions suggested she did... anyway, I'm back to square one and need to get back on the dating scene again.. so here we go again *sighs*...

Sorry to hear that man, sounds like you're going through some weird sh-it... I hope you find what the cause of it is and that you are able to get rid of it quickly...

I also wanted to say to everyone that the past two nights I have had some very strong erections, and some serious morning wood... I have recently added some things to my diet, which I think may have had an effect : L-Arginine, garlic, Ginkgo Bilabo and royal jelly (the stuff bees make) supplements. One of these or maybe the combination of the four is clearly having an effect. I recommend anyone who hasn't tried hem to give them a go, they're all harmless things to take, so at worst you will just see no effect. They might help you recover more quickly and give you a little boost.

hI, I HAVNT post here in a while, it is because i have been afflicted by a mysterious neurological condition, that i went to the doctors for and i have been unable to find out. Remember when i told you know how i lost my smell and taste, that was only the begining, it progressed to pins and needles mostly on my side of the face, hands and legs. Furthermore, i have loss all internal stimulation, even from masturbating, i cannot feel any sensations in my abdomen, but still able to feel sensations on the penis head. unable to stay aroused or hard for long because i cant feel any bodily sensations from masturbating. i cannot feel any sensations means(no feeling of full or empty stomach, bladder,bowel movement, even arousal or orgasm(only near the penis). i do have an upcoming pcp appt, and a specialist in 2 months, she tried to point it "im making it up", and genetics. and i think she may have given me a ent instead of a neurology. This all happened suddenly, or started about jan 8, when ifirst noted smell and lost, went to the er next day, and couldnt found anything. Now i have these progressing symptoms. I trace it all back to my parietal lobe of the brain: possible injury, autoimmune, or mass. this happened about an hour after i took 1 25mg of diphenhydramine,dextromorphan,phenyleprine. until i find out whats wrong, there is no recovery going on(though im still able to get hard, i cant feel it, neither i can get fully erect because of the sensational loss.
