Porn addiction might be ruling my body and mind

So I was wondering if any other young males or even older males have experienced erectile dysfunction as a result of chronic masturbation and porn . If so , if you gave it up did it help your ED ? I’m 21 and shouldnt have to take a dick pill every time I want to have sex with my girlfriend…, it’s embarrassing and I really want to resolve this issue. When I’m by myself I can get an erection no problem (with porn) but by myself without porn or with my girlfriend I barely even get erect. I just need some advice or something…

Don’t forget erections are psychological as well as physical. Your habit may cause you to feel shame and guilt when you’re with your GF.
It’s also a matter of ‘training’. Your body may think it’s not really ‘showtime’ without the porn. Just a thought.

8 years sober from sexpornlove addiction. This disease will definitely cause ED and recovery addresses it. For me it was because I saw sex as one dimensional, so I was getting more and more numb.

This is a progressive disease, and for me that looked like watching more extreme porn, then on to multiple sex partners while committed.

I put together some resources here. If you try one and it doesn’t help, don’t get discouraged. Just keep trying until you find a good fit.

Hope this helps.

Wow, Man! Eight years?! I need people like you in my life. I’ve been struggling with this addiction for 30+ years. Never even had a chance at a normal life or a healthy relationship. The porn addiction took everything from me in my 20s. HIV+ and screwed up royally in the head.
