Hey guys! I'm nearly 17 and have finally realised that after about 5 years of viewing porn and heavy masturbation that it's time to stop. I've recently met up with a few guys to have casual sex with and haven't been able to cum/orgasm, through oral/anal sex. I've read many things suggesting that my penis may have become desensitised as i grip quite hard when I masturbate, or that i've been watching way too much porn. Do any of you guys that have been in similar situations know how long it will roughly take to regain control over myself? Thanks
