Too much porn = total lost of libido?

I'm 25 and I was single for a few months. And lately I've been watching a lot of porn. I was only masturbating with porn. At least 1 time each day, for a long time. Now I've meet this incredibly attractive women, and we are starting a relationship.

But I can't get it up anymore!!!!!! I just can't!! I've stoped the porn for almost 1 week and I can't even get it up (with her OR without her) I just have no more libido at all. I'm just not exited at all with I guest "regular real sex".

We did not (yet) tryed to have sex but we fooled around a lot and I didn't even get horny at all. Don't have to say that It didn't got hard too.

I had a girlfriend for 4 years and never had such problem (i wasn't looking at porn very much though)

Now I'm so afraid to tell her I can't get it up!! And how can I get my libido back??? I realy find her attractive and want to have sex with her sooooo bad.

Pleaaaaaaaaaaase I need helpppppp soo much!!!!

What can I do to get my libido, and in the same time my erections, back??
(I've stoped to watch that damn porn for good don't worry!!!)

God I'm so ambarassed, and don't want to loose her.

Thank you verry much!!

Let me tell you a story.
I had a long relationship with a girl, never ever had erection problems.
Then we broke up, I've been watching lot of porn as I live by myself.
Lately I've tried to **** two new girl's and I couldnt!!!! Damnit, it was terribly humiliating to say the least.
I blamed it on the fact that I'm not totally over my ex-girlfriend, but lets be honest, if you have a naked sexy moaning woman rubbing her parts against you and you dont get erect, houston we have a problem.
Then I read this post and it just hit me like lightening! Of course! Its the goddamn porn!
To make things worse I've been watching "sicker" porn like gangbangs and fisting and I think that made it even worse! Regular sex just doesnt cut it anymore!
Oh my! I'm scared.
I'm trashing my porn, NOW.
As I click "Post comment" I'm deleting all my porn. 100GB worth or classified high quality porn, I will delete and toast for it.
Sorry for the long post, I just really hit me like lightening!
I wonder if it's reversible!
I wonder if there's anything that can help the process.
Should I start watching softcore or simply pictures of naked beauties, or maybe lingerie... My theory is that maybe that would create some healthier association in my brain and "override" the link I created between sick sex and getting it up.
Maybe I should quit completely but then how's my brain going to find his way back!
Ideas pleeeaze!

"what did you do in those two weeks after the first failed attempt that got you back on track? and did she ridicule you for the limp ****?   "

I did literally nothing. No masturbation, no porn, no worrying. The girl was really very understanding. She petted me, and we talked cool about it. I was honest and told her I expected to maybe have a problem with my erection, and she told me that this issue is not as unusual as one might thing. She was the kind of girl you'd like to have as a girlfriend. Cause of that, I gave it a second try, and it was worth it.

If you wanna try it too, choose wisely with witch girl you wanna try, and the rest will really be more easy than you'd expect.

But don't let it become a habbit to pay for sex. Remember Yoda: this is the path to the dark side ;)

Hi,

I tried a hooker while I was still on porn, and well...
it was wasted money. Even a hot young czech professional wasn't able to do the job.

Two weeks later I tried it again, with the same girl. The difference was that now she got, in her own words, "destroyed". Now I had a really hard boner, but I couldn't come. To bad she couldn't barely walk after that ;)
