    Hey everyone. New here. I'm a 36m, happily married for 11 years now. Married to my best friend, very hot wife. The last month or so, I've had some really big issues in bed causing us both frustration.

    I will be hard during foreplay or just sitting on the couch with each other, but as soon as it's time to start actual sex, I either go limp or I lose it super fast after starting. A few times lately it's just not even gotten hard enough to penetrate. It honestly sometimes just feels lifeless no matter what we try.

    One time I was just playing with her trying to get it back and out of nowhere I unloaded on her, while mostly soft. We were both like what the crap is going on? I still get her off, but lately it's been mostly her because I just can't get hard.

    I will admit I have seen porn since my late teens. Watched a lot during college years, then stopped. I have watched some here and there in the last year and will usually get off to it. I don't think I have a death grip or anything, but is this what's causing my issues?

    I usually get hard as a rock watching the crap. I've tried stopping as I know it's horrible, but usually end up getting weak and wanting to see something.

    I ordered some rings this week to try and help and see if that will help me keep an erection. I absolutely feel like a failure to her and myself, and am willing to do anything to get this under control.

    Just looking for advice after reading about other guys here. Thanks everyone!

    This might not be a great idea. Rings can help in the short run. However, as you use them over and over, you can damage the blood vessels in your p3ins.

    There are medical devices that a urologist could suggest that wouldn't damage things.

    Speaking of doctors, go see one. Be honest about what's happening. The doctor will say, "I've heard it all. You don't have to be embarrassed." That's nice for the doctor but, you will still be embarrassed. It would be so much better if the doctor would just explain that you might be embarrassed but, that they are willing to listen and help you with your problem. Nonetheless, go see a doctor.

    I agree on going to the doctor! A doctor can prescribe something to get you through difficult times and reduce the stress created by this situation. And staying off porn also helps.

    I'm actually halfway concerned with a doctor being the first recommendation here. I've been a lurker for a while and I don't think that's usually the first recommendation? I absolutely will go get checked if this continues. Could definitely be an underlying issue, but I feel completely fine otherwise.

    I also wonder why a trigger warning was added to my post?

    I recommended a doctor because you said you were going to use a ring on your p3nis. Erections are created when a p3nis fills with blood. Since using a ring can damage blood vessels over time, it was a very bad idea. A doctor was a much better idea.

    Also, ED can be caused by p0rn. But, also by cholesterol buildup in the blood vessels. Any good doctor will check out any possible build up in your blood vessels just to make sure your ED isn't caused by something that could also be clogging other vessels (the heart or neck).

    I had a similar experience and a doctor helped. I can say more in a PM. This sounds like a particular situation that differs from some of PIED described in other posts. This is causing distress and as someone else said, doctors are often familiar with these situations.
