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?

yes it will.  The stimulation you now seek is porn. we dont obviously make love this way. and the women are gorgeous and the men are long, whatever So subcontiously you try to relate to sex in this way. Its all in ur head. Stop with the porn and FEEL with ur Heart. Its a mindset.....

Yeah so I have this same issue. I'm 17 but the thing is I'm physically active everyday. I'm healthy and in shape, I drink lots of water everyday and I eat really good. I did use to watch porn everyday and I masturbated at least 2 times a day. Its been 2 weeks without watching porn. Just the other day I was gonna have intercorse with this girl and I had the same problem, I couldn't get up . When I finally did get up it was kinda of a weak erection, I was dissapointed because I'm pretty big and I'm capable beating the p up . What should I do ?

I'm 30 days in already. No notable changes. No morning wood. No spontaneous erection. I noticed getting moody and a lacking sleep a lot. I don't feel the urge of watching P or M. I think I'm in the flatline since I started. I have less problems getting an erection when touching, but no major changes.

I O 4 times. 3 times with my girlfriend and 1 time "with" her doing stuff on Skype (long distance *****). No vaginal sex for now, so I can't say if my ED is cured. Erections are stronger than before, but they don't last long. I also don't get hard easily from kissing or cuddling.

Only 30 days in. Let's do another 30.

One day at at time.  Being moody and lacking sleep is part of the withdrawal process.  Fight the urge to "test" your penis.  Stay away from porn and you will see a big difference.
Nice to see you here.

2 months have passed since the reset. I am able to have normal sex and I get an erection only from touching or making out, sometimes even by thought.

No morning wood or random erections. I viewed P twice and M like 5 times (including fooling around with my girflriend)

18!!!! Whew I barely remember those days but they were great I'm sure.

The good news is that if you stop edging and stop all contact with porn (visual, mental, audio, reading, fantasy etc.) you will get better.   You are the solution to your problem.  
We are STRONGER than porn.

I havnt been on here a while as well, as im fighting contact dermatitis(which is chronic and affect my skin, which inlcudes penis, it becomes itchy and causes me to scratch it. i must admit staying away porn was harder than one believes, it makes sense if one is exposed to it for years.

I also believe. now my neuropathy, through my own research, no useless doctor, is caused by spinal issues(disc herniations, scoliosis, disk bulging, stenosis,,,etc) and at 28 right now. as you know neuropathy affects sensations, and that is a big problem if you have porn-ed as well.
i also am amazed that its been 1.5 years(starting on here in june14 since i saw this post to ask for help, and still trying to recover from it. I have several months of no-porn, but with mb, from oct14 to around march. but infrequently slid and watched porn. I now know how aggressive porn-mb addiction, on your mobile device, sadly i was using this around fall last year. Even though its very limited, and slow when comparing to computer search, because of its portability it has become addicting. without a sexual partner, tis hard to overcome an addiction,especially if you have NEUROPATHY.
@over and over, your PORN-md seems to be , mild, use your gf to do some manual stimulation, this sets your brain to not use your hands. from what ive been reading right online premature ejactulation, can be mitigated with some techniques.

@pfaith-how old are you, if your around 16, your recovery will be easier, since you havnt done porn-mb for long. by the way erectile dysfunction, means inability to get erection despite stimulation. ED from porn-mb is highly recoverable, but hard to get out of addiction. ED from diseases like PERIPHERAL AND AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY, diabetes, or diseases that affect erections is much harder to overcome and requires doctor visit and testing.

Been a while since I posted here. Nice to see some familiar faces (GhostDog)

It's been some years with periods where I didn't think about PMO for months and periods when I relapsed even more times-a-day.

Coming from the latter period now. 5 days in.

No morning erections.
During sex I get a semi-erection with condom.
I can't finish if I am not helping myself sometimes.
I get spontaneous erections from time to time.
If I don't have any manual stimulus I can't stay hard for long.
