    I’ve been single for 2 years after a 10 year relationship where sex was fine but vanilla. Had a few issues performing in that, when I was insanely stressed with work and a bit depressed. Was a bit lazy and just used ed pills a few times to get past the block to get over it and was fine. Didn’t keep using pills for long.

    Regular hook ups and porn for 2 years after had zero problems with getting and staying hard.

    met someone old fashioned way recently and really like him. Can see a massive future for us. To my relief, great body and dick and I was turned on but couldn’t stay hard. Have been dead since. What really scared me is that, I didn’t panic, I ordered some ed pills and thought I’d be rock hard for a few times, drop the porn now and would be ok. But pills made no fucking difference!

    properly panicking now! I’ve also noticed that since, my libido has vanished. I’ve generally stayed off porn but decided to try jerking to some of my fav porn to see if I could, and I could just about, but was an effort.

    My libido does rise and wane during the month and always has. Some weeks I can’t get enough and then there will be a week or so when I’m not really interested. Maybe it’s just really bad timing and it’s a low mood time and then I just had a massive scare and now the pressure is too immense?

    I’m incredibly fortunate to have private medical, so have booked to see a urologist for blood tests/ testosterone checks. I’ve noticed reduced or no morning wood either, but not sure if it’s since the massive scare with the terrible performance even on pills or has been longer. I deff haven’t been getting horny or hard in the day.

    anyway, I’m totally off porn now, making sure I exercise. I eat well generally. Job is super stressful but always has been, for like 15 years. I drink way too much but always have. I am getting older tho.

    I don’t know if

    a) classic case of porn addiction causing ED issues, which feeds off itself and or pressure of actually liking someone/intimacy issues

    b) a health issue, low testosterone, hormone problems, mechanical.

    c) just don’t fancy him really


    It’s fucking brutal! He’s very understanding, but this no decent sex is not sustainable. I’m not even a fucking bottom so that makes it worse. This guy is an absolute catch for me, but how long is he gonna stick around for with a floppy dick? No matter how understanding, this early in people will have their limits!

    anyone been through something similar? If this is intimacy/porn abuse issue, any good resources any know about? Anyone had zero help even using ED pills? even if they like their partner?

    no hate please, I’m fragile at the moment!
