Hi, im new here, and wondered if any1 could give me advice on this problem.
I've been a porn user since about 12, and of internet since about 14. For the first few years of masterbation, i used my imagination a fair bit for arousal, although eventually began using porn pretty much every day up until recently. I never really considered it bad or an "addiction" of sorts, although it often prevented me from going to bed at a time i'd like to, and spent much time collecting it when introduced to p2p porn file sharing.
In the last year or so however, i've noticed that i often don't get spontaneous erections anymore, except from viewing and/or thinking about hardcore porn. for example, when spotting an attractive girl wearing "revealing" clothing, a few years ago i'm pretty sure i would have got an erection shortly after, but now i wouldn't. Also, my erections tend to be getting weaker and wudn't be sustained for as long as a few years ago. Even when viewing porn movies, it wud only last for about 20-30 secs without any hand interaction.
I am a virgin and have never gotten "intimate" with a girl. From the stories i've read in a popular thread in this forum on porn induced e.d, im concerned that i won't be able to "keep wood" when i have sex for the first time. To me, this is a nightmare, as i imagine my chances of such an opportunity will be very small.
What i'm not sure of is that this loss of spontaneous erections may be porn induced, or as a friend i discussed with this recently put it, the result of sexual maturity. Since i've never gotten intimate, i'm at a loss as to what it could be.
Also, as i think this problem has become apparent since i began using hardcore pornography more frequently than soft core, acquired both online and offline, i'm curious if there are less potent types of pornography, as i'm pretty much not using my imagination when masturbating any more. Maybe i could ditch the videos and settle for pictures, as there is some element of imagination required in order to climax?
I'm not sure if it is relavent to my question or not, i'm not into extreme porn, mostly big-breasted woman and *** shots are my thing, group stuff as far as multiple *** shots on a woman is concerned.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i'm sorry to any1 who thinks post such as these are clogging up this message boards, but i feel my situation is somewhat unique for the reasons mentioned in this post.
