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?

Things are starting to change. I was kept awake most of the night with surges of what I can only describe as an intense sex drive. My erections were coming and going, some really strong others weak. I have never felt this since I was in my teens.

I know this is the right track after 110 days. I will watch no porn for the rest of my life. Not worth it when it robs you of being a man and your girlfriend. I know I'm on the road to recovery.

Day 1, starting up. Been able to abstain for large periods of time where it's gone back to normal, but have fallen off the wagon recently, and the symptoms are starting to come back.

Therefore, day 1 again.

The withdrawal symptom are different in each person I'm sure.

I for a few weeks had mild headaches, unable to sleep through the night, loss of libido, slight mood swings.

The withdrawal symptoms were not horrible annoying if anything.  They lasted about 2-3 weeks

That's a good achievement !  Tell me if that add more strength to your sexual relationship , and what about the other life activities ; how do you feel about them.
I am wondering  if this period is enough for you to get full recovery. For me it is two weeks of no porn ; but i still have trouble to enjoy my natural relationship, but I do believe that this method is the correct one. I am also wondering; why urologist does not concern porn addiction in treatment of ED... although it is a real problem

Hello everyone! here is my story
Now my age is 26. In my teen age 14-17 i had masturbated lot of times. at first it seeks good and gives enjoy. I was masturbated  sometimes more than 3 times a day. I usually masturbate weekly 7 days..... Every climax of masturbate i feel to get rid of it. but i cannot.... after some hours i feel to masturbate. this story goes on.....until i came to know that tantric yoga(india), Taoist yoga(china)... I lost my stamina due to heavy masturbation. At age 18 i started to practice taoist yoga (tantric yoga requires a guru) which can self taught exercises such as sexual kung fu, Big draw,etc change my sexual life tremendously. It takes three months to learn the exercises.... Gradually i can transform my sexual energy in love....Love only can solve the over sexual problem.  Nowadays, i masturbate but using big draw techniques, it keeps my body healthier rather than depleting......Its my experience.....before that i too was tried to control sex but i will control for 1 or 2 weeks... the worse thing is how much i repress sex it goes wild nature so i masturbate heavily before that....so dont waste time to control sex rather learn to transform its energy
Love is solution for all
Hope u may consider my experience.
Google toaist yoga, mantak chia books
may the chi with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
