Cannot cum during sex, only while masturbating to porn

    I am a 25 y/o straight male, and i cannot cum during sex, whether that be vaginal, anal, oral or handjobs.

    I started masturbating around 14 i think. and the first time i remmember cumming was to a Page 3 girl in a british newspaper (topless photo cut out). i remember then that it was difficult for me to cum. i had to jerk very fast and tense my legs. that is how i have masturbated since, i never used lube, and generally only masturbate laying down. i lost my virginity at 21, but have never been able to cum with a partner, unless i masturbate next to them, and even then its very very difficult. however if i use porn, i am able to cum far easier.

    i have never had a problem with having sex, i have no problems getting hard, and i generally have good sex, but i can never finish unless i masturbate and even then this is hard for me to achieve without porn. i have tried not fapping before (in fact i hadnt cum in about 2 weeks until about 20 mins ago). but it has still not helped me to cum. I do enjoy sex, and so do my partners. but not being able to cum is weighing on me. i dont think i use porn excessively but i find it almost impossible to cum without it. I have read into deathgrip, but most posts mention ED which is a problem i do not have, and i can go without porn, but if i get to a point where i am super horny and have to cum, i always have to turn to porn.

    I have a girlfriend at the moment who is very understanding, and i want ot be able to cum for her. really im looking for advice, m worried i have permanently damaged my dick by 10 years of fapping this way. Does anyone have any similar experiences here? id be much obliged for any help as this is weighing on my mind.
    Sorry for the essay,
    TPN

    Welcome
    Death grip is is commonly mentioned as one of PMO side effects.
    There is no rule but the fact that we used P during our teenage has highly influenced what our brain gets excited too
    It will take time but sooner or later you can rewire
    The first thing is to stop M to P completely if not you will always get the same reward and the same circuits will get reenforced
    It will take time but you will get there. This is a wonderful parh of self discovery. We start with PIED and we finish by reorganizing our whole life because PMO is a symptom of our escapism

    Stay strong we do this together

    My boyfriend was like that when I first met him. It took a few months but now he’s 100% functional. I think you need to get comfortable with your gf and eventually you’ll relax enough to be able to express yourself fully.

    Orgasms require concentration and a slow build up during partner assisted activities. My bf stopped PMO and MO and he just stuck to a rythym he liked. He cums the easiest from
    behind me. Every so often he cums with me on top. I think you should experiment with what position suits you and then try to get into the moment. Porn is so disconnected because you’re able to watch privately then go away at yourself but during sex, you have a person watching you trying to cum. It’s distracting.

    But yeah, just relax and don’t overthink it. You could also be putting too much pressure on yourself to cum.

    Yup, death grip sounds like what's going on here. I'd definitely suggest a reboot challenge and see how things go after that.

    Thanks for the encouragement and advice here, today is day one of my reboot, i had managed not fapping for around 2 weeks up until yesterday, and the fap i had yday did not require full death grip, just a lot of tip stimulation, my gf is now on the pill so im hoping that no condoms will also help me. I am going to stop P and M and begin again.
    I'm glad that your boyfriend has overcome his problem really gives me the confidence to keep this up.
    I think this could also be an underling issue. i have some anxiety issues anyway, mainly brought on by a good couple years of quite heavy Marijuana use, or at least exacerbated, these have improved, but i am still very self conscious in many ways, and constantly worry about what other people are thinking about me. I overthink most things so this definitely could be another underlying 'cause'.
    Should i also consider seeking a medical opinion?
    Thanks man, its good to be here.

    You mention marijuana use, and I'm pretty sure that will cause delayed or inability to climax. Other drugs can cause it too, such as antihistamines, decongestants, prostate medications, and I would think opioids. A good examination and honest discussion with a urologist is always a good idea, if you haven't had one lately. Stay on NoFap for a 30 day hard mode reboot, then try partnered sex with plenty of foreplay. Bet you'll be amazed...

    I deal with delayed ejaculation because of medications that I take. It is almost impossible to cum at times with these meds, yet it will eventually happen with P if I keep at it. This has been an on-going issue for me. I understand how frustrating it is. The pot may be a factor like my meds. I actually take them for Depression/anxiety/OCD. I think if you are an anxious person, especially if you have PMO much, it can cause anxiety trying to achieve O. I like you have no ED issues. I can stay hard for an hour or as long as engaged. It is simply an issue of achieving climax.
     
  8. Welcome to the community.
    Staying away from taking things into your own hands will help tremendously.
    Performance anxiety can also play a part in this as well. The worry can hold you back, like a viscous circle. If this is part of the problem try to focus more on the intimacy and looking in her eyes. I found with the deep connection the worry would fade away.
