Too much porn/masturbation cause ED?

[maxcheang]

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?

This morning I PMOed :-(

After having had sex with a girl who squirted like crazy when she orgasmed, I went and had a look at porn videos of women squirting out of curiosity... it turned me on, I started touching myself and went all the way unfortunately :-(

What I must avoid doing now is going on a binge... I guess I'm not back to square one, but I have definitely taken a step backward... my tracker has got to go back to 0 though :-(

It's so freaking hard to resist the urge to look at porn in the long haul...

What you are saying about position is interesting... I did notice that I performed better in the cowgirl position than missionary the last couple of times I had sex. I haven't tried doggystyle in a while, maybe I should try it next time. I know that in the past I have struggled in that position, although it has depended highly on the girl and on the moment...

Another problem is that I don't have a regular sex friend. Lately I've been having one night stands only... maybe I need to feel more comfortable with a girl in order to perform better ? I know some guys need to have sex 2 or 3 times with a girl before they get used to her and start performing properly... what do you think ?

Thanks for the kind words classy, but to be honest I have cheated a bit over these 76 days... I haven't masturbated to orgasm once to porn, but I have on occasion watched a bit of porn and touched myself, sometimes even edging... And maybe that's almost as bad as full-on PMO... I dunno...

When i was suffering from porn induced erectile dysfunction and while I was recovering; I had to get jerk myself to get hard to have sex. But I could only have sex on my knees (doggy style) and with my feet on the ground. I could never have sex missionary, because I could not stay erect. I needed the thrusting motion to center in my legs, body, and arms, in order to stay somewhat hard ( and that was never for more then 5 or 10 minutes). When it's missionary sex, all of your thrusting comes from your hips and penis area. Well, my penis was not working correctly, so to get the blood pumping into my penis, I needed to use my whole body to help me stay hard. You are not fully recovered, but congratulations on 76 days! It will take time, nothing is set in stone. You will get there. You will. I have never read of somebody not recovering when giving up masturbation to porn. The general theory is 90 days, but it can extend well beyond that point.

The word that was starred out in my previous post was b-lowjob

I had sex with a new girl last Monday, and again I had trouble maintaining an erection :-(  first she gave me a *******, I had no problem having an erection there, and I came quite quickly. Later I tried to do her in the missionary position, and I lost my erection soon after I entered her. Later she came on top of me, and it was better in that position, again I came quite quickly... so I seem to be having a problem with the missionary position these days.

So I'm disappointed once again by my performance... either I can't maintain an erection, or when I can I come too quickly... I have been off PMO for a while now and not getting the amazing results I was hoping for...

TO AnonymousSA,

My advice and encouragement to you is to delete your porn stash, get rid of it and masturbate to just your mind alone. When you get used to that try and cut down your masturbation time. Normally I would say just stop and go cold turkey but I think not everyone can be so disciplined. Also I have masturbated a few days ago WITHOUT PORN and I literally have no interest of doing so at the moment, I have no urge or crave to masturbate. I have total control over it. My point is this, after 100 days of going without watching porn and then masturbating without watching porn, I realize my brain and body reacts differently, there was no dopamine rush, there was no sad, guilt or depressing feelings afterwards. I am now in agreement that masturbation by itself may not be bad for the brain, but it will leave you with low energy or feeling tired though.  Also, if you masturbate do not try to edge or delay an ejaculation, thats bad, just finish and get it out the way.

Separate porn from masturbation and you will be feeling better, then try and cut down masturbation frequency and you will feel great. give it time and continue on the road to recovery.


TO bigfrench,
Everyone recovery time is different, flat line can last from weeks to months. It all depends on your brain.  please give yourself time to heal.
find something to do with the time you would normal use. workout, play a musical instrument, start a business, go to school, i'm just giving suggestions. whatever you do, just try and cut off porn and giving yourself time to heal, as you have said, you have experienced good results in just a few days. you are on the right path. keep it up!

P.S.
I find that reading as much as I can about the topic of PMO has also helped to encourage me and keep me focused until I got stronger. Please men, read as much as you can. knowledge is power, and knowledge will change you.

all the best. I wish everyone who comes here a good and healthy recovery.
