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?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This thread is probably one of the most important websites I've ever stumbled into. My case is the same as most of yours - 24, discovered porn around 13 and have been doing it on a daily basis ever since. I've been EDing when it comes to actual sex (and, more specifically, penetration - oral and "dry-humping" seem to be much better). It has happened to me numerous times over the span of more than a year (since I started having actual sex), with different, attractive girls - it is CLEARLY not the girls' fault, but rather, my own impossibly-perfect fantasies and the desensitization that stemmed out of them.

This MUST be recognized as a medical condition. It seems extremely popular - and for every person who comments on threads such as this one, there has to be thousands who remain silent. God knows it took me over a year to check out this problem online.

I consider this another repercussion of porn addiction. I CAN (and am going to) do without it - and I had no idea this is a possible consequence. There should be a disclaimer on porn websites... This stuff is definitely more harmful than pot, for instance.

(I'm rambling, because having only found this out now seriously pisses me off. BUT - better late...)

Let this be a new decade resolution - less (virtual) porn = more (real, incredible) sex!

I have the same problem. I am 32 and have been watching porn since I was 15. My wife is 27. I have felt that my performance has gradually become worse. Unfortunately I have allowed everyone to know that I like porn and make fun about porn and girls all the time. After reading to this forum I will stop making any fun comment about porn. I knew deep inside that my ED was related to porn but because some days I still have good performances then pretended that it was not truth. Now I am 100% sure my ED is related to porn. I am in a good shape. I work out regularly, I don't have any of the physical problems related to ED and my father is still making  babies so it is not a genetics problem either.

thank you internet! i am 19 and i have been masturbating at least once a day every day for the last 2 years or so. i, like most of you, have found that the more i masturbate (especially with porn) the harder it is to get and maintain an erection with real life girls. the first time i tried having sex the condom pretty much shut things down down there and the sex didnt last long either due to *ehem* "low tire pressure". i was able to come up with some bs excuse but truly i blame my full blown masturbation addiction. now as far as messing around with girls, its been hit and miss with good solid erections, but i am finding it more and more difficult. i have tried to stop masturbating several times before but it never last more than a day or two, even when im getting the real thing. reading all the stories above has seriously motivated me to STOP JACKING OFF lol. i watched some porn earlier and decided to google "does too much masturbation cause ED?" and along with my experiences and your accounts i am convinced it does, at least short term. so i now declare that i am going to stop masturbating until i get a healthy libido(?) back. and even then, only in very rare instances will i turn to my beloved right hand. so thank you internet and friends for the help, ill post back when im healthy again to show that it worked (fingers crossed)

I have a similar but not identical problem. My ex girlfriend used to tell me her sexual fantasies which normally entailed group sex. It didn't like it but it turned me on alot and got to the stage where it was the only thing that would turn me on. After we split up I continued to fantasize about her having sex with others. I still do it and nothing else turns me on.

Sounds like a similar problem to the porn one. I'm gonna try and lay off it and hope my normal desire for women comes back !
