22 with porn induced erectile dysfunction?

[bummed_out]

The first two times I tried to have sex I couldn't get an erection at all, one time was sober one drunk. Then the next girl was kind of a 3-night stand over a weekend with the only improvement being getting a half-erection and penetrating momentarily before it was too flaccid to go on.

Now, I've met the woman of my dreams, definite soul-mate and drop dead gorgeous...I ended up telling her about my past failures in intercourse and she joked it would happen with us but I was sure it wouldn't because theres a real connection with this girl, unlike the other two. And she's beautiful too, out of my league even...But sure enough the other night it was time and of course I couldn't get an erection...

I managed to get a decent halfer at first when the clothes started coming off and she grabbed around, but then it just wimped out and went away...

I've looked at internet porn since I was 12, now I'm 22, There have been times where the internet porn addiction got kind of bad, but it always mellowed out to calmer more normal routines, but always frequent. Sometimes I'd masturbate daily, multiple times daily, but then other times I'd go for a few days or so without any porn or masturbation.

Either way this girl is really cool and understanding and we talk about it openly with next to no embarrassment on my part anymore, I was going to see a doctor but then we decided it might be porn induced or psychological, and after that night I've written off all porn and I'm not masturbating again for a while.

My question I guess is was this enough for any of you? What was your porn addiction like in level of seriousness/frequency?

I'm hoping just abstaining from any kind of porn or sexual release for a while and only allowing myself to get off with her will work...If not I'll be crazy bummed...but I guess I'd go to a doctor...I'm just hoping porn has Temporarily (hopefully very temporarily) given me this problem and its on its way out very soon.

Any help or anything at all is appreciated, its kind of hard to talk about this stuff openly with your friends or "the dudes" and my girlfriend isn't knowledgeable or experienced in this...

I'm only going on 2 weeks, so you probably want to hear the opinion of people who have already gone the distance on this but I have NOT stopped having sex, just completely cut out porn and masturbating in general... I've had sex on 4 separate occasions since and my performance is not 100% but is already enough noticably better to the point that I can't imagine looking at internet porn anymore to get off.

So I'm a bit new.  I've realized for awhile (since I've been with my partner) now that I have a problem.  I can't stay hard for more than 20s without physical stimulation and getting an erection without porn seems to be really hard.  I literally have the woman I love next to me, and I want to do things to her but my body does not want to co-operate with me.  I am getting so frustrated with my body and I know my partner is feeling frustrated as well.

But here's the deal.  I still want to make love to my partner and start this 6 to 8 week cycle, but the question is, can I?  Can I start this cycle and still make love to my partner, or does she have deal in her own way with my abstinence? (Just to say I've been looking at porn since I was... 14, and internet porn since 16, I am turning 25 here soon)

I don't think anything is wrong with you.

Try to stay off from porn... and maybe just have regular sex for a while.

I am 25 years and currently on my 3rd week of no PMO while I am recovering from my last year of heavy porn use. My morning woods now comes more often, maybe 2-4 times a week, before this period nothing....

I had a relationship from 20-24 i which i also saw porn and masturbated but also had a fantastic sex life with no ED problems... However I lost my mornings erections at some time during this relationship and I didn't even think about as a problem, just thight it was because i was getting older..

After the relationship ended I started viewing much more porn and much more hardcore than I did before... Some month later I experienced ED for the first time and then a month later for the second time. First here I realized that something was wrong! Now I am on my way to recover, but it is difficult and feels extremely hard sometimes, however only 16 days in many things are also much better than before...

You are in a lucky place that you are aware of the changes now. Just stop the porn and give it some time, then things will stay to be good!

And lastly, as far as I know, then it is normal to have morning erections some days, but it is also normal to have days without...

I am 22
I really need help. I am very scared. Please someone tell me what is going on with me.

I am not addicted to porn but i will watch it 3 times a week. I can get an erection when masturbating. I can get an erection when i am around my girl and when having sex, I give her multiple orgasms and can stay hard for as long as i want.

There is only one problem.
I do not get morning woods anymore. I'll get maybe once in a week or two and it will only be semi-erect. I sleep for 10 hours

Please can someone tell me that not getting morning woods anymore is a sign of ED even though I drive my girl crazy in bed and have no problem getting an erection with a girl? Please help. I use to get morning wood all the time couple years ago but not anymore :( Whats wrong with me?

Last night was 10 days since I stopped looking at any type of porn and masterbated and exactly 1 week since I last came from having sex. Probably the longest I've gone without an orgasm in like 20 yrs. About 3 days into it my sex drive dropped to like zero, which scared the hell out of me. Sex wasn't on my mind at all, I wasn't even waking up with morning wood. Well, last night I started going at it with a girl and I went from zero sex drive to horny as hell in a minute and had awesome full erect sex with her 3 times in a row in about a 2 hour span. No joke. It's only been 10 days so I'm not saying OK definitely fully cured here but wow I felt like I was 19 again. There's no way I'm going trade sex like that to go masterbate in front of a computer again. The only thing that bothers me now is the low libido during the normal course of the day, because I'm very used to being horny like 24-7, but judging from what others on here have said this will eventually return to normal? I hope.

Also just wanted to say that I don't think anyone should feel bad about ever using porn or masterbating, but I'm thinking if you have willing partners and are finding yourself unable to get into the real thing with them but have no problem getting off to porn you seriously do need to rethink that. I hope to report back again in about a month with how this is all going.

Titans_romeo, yeah, LOL in a perfect world you could get **** drunk and still perform 100% but there's no cure for a limp "Whiskey D#$k" that I know of, it's just part of the package. If you are hanging out and getting drunk with a girl you'll probably want to pace yourself with the booze, just get a a good buzz going but not get sloppy drunk. When I was younger I used to have a sort of opposite problem, when I got drunk I'd get hard no prob but would not be able to come. After like an hour of sex the girl would be plenty satisfied and like "ok, Im good, you can finish now PLEASE!" and I wouldn't be able too. Obviously, giving it to a girl like that felt pretty awesome but not being able to finish was a bummer. It would usually require oral sex or hand stimulation to finish off at that point.

I didn't mention it in my original post but weed actually has helped my performance problem in the past, but I don't smoke often, I don't like to smoke all that much and I'd be worried about the longer term effects of needing to get stoned just to get an erection, so I dismissed that as a realistic option. If you are using drugs, and cant get erect at all while on them then you are choosing drugs over sex and that may not be the best choice bro.
