Hey my name is Hunter I am a marine and recently on leave I saw my gf for the weekend, I never had a problem with getting or sustaining an erection but as the 4 days progressed I noticed my lower half seemingly uninterested and my brain too, a big part of me didn’t want to be there, not not spend time with my girlfriend but just in that intimate moment . It was day 3 and it was happening again and I lied to her and told her I had to use the bathroom midway through cause I just couldn’t take it, we got into an argument and she said it was because I didn’t find her attractive anymore but deep down I thought if it was from my addiction

Well I can get in an erection and I had an erection, I’m just wondering because we’re were having sex everyday multiple times

I know you probably don’t wanna hear from a 17 yo highschooler, but lowkey it probably is from the addiction, I was once at a point where I couldn’t get an erection even if I was getting rubbed up on by a girl, but I quit watching when I was with my ex and I got erections all the time, but when I broke up with her I fell back into porn and now I can’t really get full erections without porn so now I’m trying to quit again, I got so addicted to sex that after the breakup I went right back to porn, the main reason I broke up with my ex was because of sex addiction, sorry for the rant

It almost certainly is from the addiction, there’s a word for it, porn-induced erectile dysfunction. I’d read the easy-peasy way to quit porn if you haven’t, destroying the brainwashing is crucial to recover, dismantling every single lie you tell yourself
