Change in sexual triggers?

I am a 25 year old male and, although I masturbate almost daily, I often experience softness or non performance when I have sex. Is it possible that I have changed my sexual triggers from intercourse with women to pleasuring myself?

I am fit, attractive and mentally together so it is a bit frustrating that this occurs which undoubtedly causes a flywheel on the problem. My erections are strong when pleasuring myself and I can do so after consuming alcohol, that said, I’m confident that my problem is psychological. I always am attracted to the girl and I take my time getting the romance in order however my body just doesn’t take the bait. I would say this occurs 30% of the time. In addition, I find it difficult to ejaculate through vaginal intercourse, often pull out, and finish myself off.

Would eliminating masturbation have a positive effect on my intercourse problems, effectively resetting my sexual trigger? Or is there something else that I am not seeing?

Thank you in advance

-Andre

I know the feeling and so I used to be the same but found that Masterbating was the last resort so try to let the feeling go away and yes sex with women will get better.  The way it is right now is you are almost addicted to the firm hand thing but in reality you need to let someone else give it a go well a stroke I guess hahaha good luck

It could help to slow down. Sometimes you tend to over do it and it can cause problems when having intercourse. So, give yourself a break and see if that helps.
