Erectile dysfunction because of porn

M26, been watching porn since I was 12. My sex life used to be normal, but since I got a new girlfriend since 7 months, I'm not really in the mood anymore and I've been losing my erections all the time during sex.. Has anyone experienced the same? I haven't talked about this with my girlfriend, because I don't really know how to tell her

I have a similar problem. M24 and been watching porn since I was 12. Frequent use, often twice a day. Few years ago everything was “normal” with my girlfriend, but last 2 times I tried I couldn’t hold my erections. I’ve read this is called PIED (porn-induced Erectyle Disfunction), so I decided to finally put a stop and recalibrate my brain. Hopefully in a few months without porn this wont be an issue. Meanwhile I’m working out harder, sleeping better and trying to improve my diet

Sorry to hear that Rick, but that can be a result of using porn where you become desensitised to real life sexual experiences. Defo see a dr to see if they can help

Same thing happened to me bro, I’m M20 and all around a very active and healthy guy. It used to happen a lot I was confused because I thought I was supposed to be in my prime lol. Porn and masturbation is definitely the problem here, at least it was for me. Porn creates a very unrealistic standard for sex and all around will tank your libido when it comes to the real deal. Not enough stimulation going on because you’re so used to these crazy videos. It’s your relationship do as you please but if I was you I would mention it to her. It’ll will be much easier to face this battle with someone caring by your side. I’m over a month clean and it feels so good bro, life does a complete switch I pray you will be able to experience the same soon. God Speed

Damn, sorry to hear that bro! If it’s that bad, I’d say talk to your doctor. You can also try to change your diet, start working out, and stop fapping
