I'm starting to think this isn't a mental thing. I've suffered from severe ED now for about 7 years and don't think I've had a full erection in at least 5 years now, with or without porn. I've had blood levels taken previously but nothing out of character showed up, I think I'm going to have to explain my situation more thoroughly and demand a full hormone test. Very scared now..
Yes. It's pretty common due to desentization. I also have ED even with porn and my blood tests were good. ED even with Porn is a severe PIED. The recovery is probably way longer than the average PIED recovery. what was your longest streak in the 7 years you were suffering?
Many people, including me, have suffered similarly. The brain can be retrained for the penis to get hard for sexual intercourse, but it can take a while with some people. Time away from PM is critical.
Yes. It is certainly possible to lose all ability to gain and maintain an erection on porn. Stay away from porn and masturbation and the wood will come back when it is needed.
Yes, in the end it was very difficult to get hard, even in front of porn. This is why people watch harder stuff, and harder stuff, and harder stuff. And they end up with some crazy Transsexuals, submission, femdom, futa... and still not hard. I was edging so hard that my arm muscles ached and there was no erection. Good to know that our bodies have incredible self healing mechanisms. Give it time. You can to tests, I did them as well, without any result. They will measure hormone levels, and a specialist will examine your cock and your balls to measure the blood flow, not the finest moment I went through: having some other guys gloved warm hands down there, with some imaging device. If you want certainity, this is the way to go.
