    Hi all.

    I stopped watching porn on 8 August. I lost my libido very quickly. After just 1 week I found it really hard to have real sex with a woman. In fact, I failed far more often than I was successful. Prior to this, I never had a problem getting and maintaining an erection.

    I have not ejaculated since last Saturday (apart from a wet dream 2 days ago). Today, I got a full erection but it didn't last very long at all. It takes longer to get erect than before, and I need to use some type of physical stimulation. Before, I could just get a kiss or hug from a girl and I would get painfully rock hard.

    Also, even though it was a full erection, it just didn't feel the same. It was different somehow. It feels a bit numb, as if I am not completely connected to my penis, but I don't think my penis has any damage from rough masturbation.

    I have urges for sex (and I also have pre-cum), but my penis just doesn't seem to be as excited. Again, I don't think it's damaged or anything. It worked fine just a few weeks ago and I haven't done anything crazy since that time.

    Also, all my blood tests came back as normal. My doctor gave me tablets, but it didn't help. I now have a script for a more powerful tablet. But I really don't want to take drugs.

    I'm very healthy, I run and workout for 2 hours some days.

    Has anybody else experienced something like this?

    I really hope this is a flatline rather than some type of physical damage. I wonder if a flatline can make an erect penis feel not as excited, not as normal, and a bit numb/dull?

    sounds like flatline. This video I found really interesting regarding withdrawal from addictive behaviour:

    from 10 mins there are two graphs which help explain. He's referring to fatty, sugary food addiction, but it applies to porn too.
