Is it really porn thats the problem (in my case)?

by watching a lot of porn, you can desensitize yourself to sexual stimulation, its what many of us here struggle with, PIED. While there multiple causes for ED, porn is most certainly one of them.
For example, i started watching porn at a young age and it became more and more difficult for me to achieve a satisfactory erection so i 'graduated' to harder and more kinky porn to produce the same results as looking at a picture would have when i was younger. maybe you're going through a similar thing? of course i am no dr but i wouldn't rule out PIED in this case.

 

i have the same problem , me too started watching porn at young age, for the last couple of years its been really hard to achieve a complete erection even with porn , i do get hard morning woods but cannot get hard otherwise , hope to recover soon

 

Well a reboot should answer your question. If in a number of week/months the problem goes away, then it's the porn. If not, then it's likely something else.

I was interested to see that the problem exists with porn too. I have had some issues with delayed ejaculation and maintaining (not achieving, maintaining) arousal during sex. But it was never difficult with porn, though I did escalate. Anyway, just food for thought.

 

There are always two possible answers to the question: One physiological and one psychological.

Sometimes there are medical reasons that your erection doesn't get enough blood because there is some circulatory or urological cause. You can always ask your doctor for an evaluation.

The other explanation is psychological, and the psychological roots of sexual dysfunction can be many and varied. PIED is certainly one root, but there can be lots of others. A therapist can help sort those out.

In either case, a reboot won't hurt, but it is also worth exploring the other possible issues with a therapist, so I really recommend that, too.

 

how has your journey been so far?

 

its improving slowly i can get real hard sometimes but not always , its hard to get sexually aroused with a real girl but slowly i am gaining confidence, i was suffering from depression but i feel better now, i have little urges to porn and masturbate but i can control them, lots of mood swings and rock hard morning wood almost each day hope to recover completely where i can feel i am 16 again

 

when we were young just a look at a picture could make us horny, now we need hardcore porn to even feel something that is the power of porn over our mind , i feel exactly the same where i need more hardcore porn to feel sexually aroused

 

how soon into your reboot did you get rock hard morning wood? I see you're on day 53 now. I went 75 days and had 80% morning wood.

 

i know that its was too soon but my morning wood came back within a week plus i had a wet dream after years a week ago

 

Oooh, fun and sticky!
