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!!

So you say that these neurological and hormone damage and imbalances can be reversed and put back to normal in about 3-6 months, what needs to be done in order for this to happen tho? Does the body heal itself?

Also do you agree with the statement a few posts up about what we should avoid in porn? About how we should also really worry about avoiding watching actual sexual actions and that pictures of arrousing images are ok and even videos of arrousing images are ok, aslong there is no actual sex going on?

Hey guy it is the same experience I have been thru is the past year. I totally cut off any porn and stop the masturbation. I read from many source telling you masturbation is healthy and do no harm to you..but I think it is bullsh*t. In my own opinion Masturbation DO affect your performance in real intimate relationships. I cannot not tell you how exactly it affect you but from my understanding is that it disrupted your neurology system and your hormone balance. The good news is if many ED case in younger guys like you are due to hormone imbalance result from excessive masturbation and usually they are reversible, unlike ED cases caused by vascular problem in the penis area in older guys which usually are irreversible.
  I thank god my gf is very understanding and supportive all the time. And I can see things are progressing towards the brighter side day by day. What I can tell you is stop all the worrying first... you are young and it happen to most of the guys too. talk to your partner get her  support. Try to take Zinc and Magnesium supplement as they may help you to restore testosterone level. Usually many younger guys can restore their function in 3 to 6 months. I will advise you try to calm yourself and keep positive thinking.

Maybe she is too attractive. Maybe it is something else but beauty that sparks your desires. Who knows. Super-attractive "candidates" never turned me on. I need personality and edge. Maybe it`s just that.

You're going throught the same thing?

God I was always able to get it up all the time. Even sometimes just kissing my ex girfriend was turning me on. I went a few months without real sex and masturbating with porn and now I'm now that I'm dating that super hot women I'm not even able to have a f*cking erection!! God its so ambarassing... I would love to have sex with her but I just don't get turned on.

I thought at first it was maybe the stress or the pressure I was putting on myselft, but now it's been 2 weeks since I see this girl and that I've stoped the porn and masturbating. Still... nothing. I don't even get it up on my own! I don't even want to masturbate anymore. Its just like I've lost anything that had to do with sex drive. It's killing me! When I'm with bed with her its geting me crazy.

And don't know what to do anymore. I went to buy those Tribulus and I'm starting tonight, I'll see if its gonna be helpful. I have to call my doctor back. I called him last week, and he told me he was pretty sure it was just the anxiety and that it would go away by itself, but it does not. Its not even getting better.

I can't believe I went to that guy who's always turned on and always hard to being completely off.

I'm starting to freak out.
