Cannot ejaculate...is it due to porn?

    Hello friends, this may seem a little long to read so bear with me on this one.

    I have been PMO'ing since I was 18 years old. I did it 2-3 times a day but not everyday. I would take a gap of 2 days and then do it again on the 3rd day. So this went on and on till the beginning of last year. After that, I got a girlfriend and we decided to take things slow with everything. I decided that I will never be physically demanding to her related to sex or even kissing if she didn't want me to. When she came into my life, I subconsciously started to watch porn less. I mean, before her I used to watch everyday even if I didn't masturbate to it due to the fact that I had no sexual energy left in me to do so being that I masturbated 2-3 times a day, but I still enjoyed watching it. But when she came, my frequency of watching porn and masturbating to it decreased a bit. Now it was 2 or 3 time a week only with masturbation only once. So I started to realize that my addiction slowed down due to her arrival because I was so in love with her that I started to feel guilty when I masturbated or watched porn, as if i was cheating on her.

    However, after the passing of a few months, my habit became stagnant and fixed at the point where I would watch porn weekly and masturbate to it. My guilt feeling went away, possibly due to the fact that I was not in a physical relationship with my girlfriend maybe. I believe there were two reasons why I didn't want the physical side of it too soon, first was that I wanted her to be comfortable with me before we did anything like that and second I used to satisfy my physical urges with porn. Apart from the physical aspect of the relationship, we both seemed to be having a good time and enjoyed each other's company.

    Then, I joined NoFap because I decided that now I have to end my porn addiction because my girlfriend started giving me physical cues of being close to me and taking it to the next level. We started some kissing and making out stuff but never ever went to sex. During my time on NoFap i relapsed thrice to porn and masturbation and got up to my feet and started again. I was not feeling bad and I was pretty self confident because I started to feel good from not masturbating.

    Then finally came the sex part, when it did happen, I got a good erection and everything was good but I lost all my sensation when I was inside her. It was like I could feel nothing even though I wanted to. Before all that, the kissing and the foreplay everything was great but as soon as I went inside her, it almost flatlined my sensations and I start to lose my erection. It has happened a bunch of times with me. My girlfriend has never questioned me about these issues as she is mostly shy to talk about these topics.

    So my main question was could porn have desensitized me to not feel anything when I am inside her? 2 weeks back i made a huge mistake and I masturbated to porn purposely to see whether there was something wrong with my sensation and I masturbated and was turned on perfectly. I haven't watched porn since and I never want to. I want to get my real human sensation from physical bonding with my girlfriend.

    Thanks for reading friends, so am I right or is there something else wrong here with me?

    Nah you’re right. The thing is ur body gets used to how u M. And it can get used to porn stimulation coupled with the M. Regardless ur dk is used to the feeling of YOUR hands, ur masturbatory ways, porn, or all 3. Also do u jerk off aggressively, tugging, and such? All of these lead to desensitization of ur dick to real sex.

    Either way, it could all be the porn and u don’t even need to be masturbating to it. Some say just watching and getting turned on by it is bad enough for the mind cuz of how it affects dopamine and such. Try to stay away from pmo and u should see improvements. Also talk about it with her maybe. Y’all have been dating for so long. cuz if she’s very insecure and u don’t talk about it, that can badly destroy a relationship and her feelings about self. Let her know it’s ur fault even if u don’t go into details.

    Thanks for your support Zimzi. I have never aggressively masturbated with my penis, I gently laid my fingers on the base of the penis and caressed it softly and always got aroused with porn going on with these actions.

    I have not been watching porn or masturbating to it since two weeks, and sooner or later I would have to open up to her to talk about it. She has never asked me about anything related to it so I never told her anything because we have never talked about such stuff before, even before we were not physical you know. I will try my best when she is comfortable enough to explain everything to her. Thanks for your help :)

    So if you basically quit P and dont M for a long period of time, is it really easy to get an erection and stay hard when engaging in sex?

    You sure the issue is sensitivity and not lack of porn visual stimulation ?

    Because from your writing it's possible to reach this conclusion aswell.

    Yes it is. No guarantee u will O during sex tho. Except with more time. Depends what ur problems are. And after a while u can go back to M without P and still be good. It’s about ur brain literally rewiring yourself to sex with u in it as opposed to voyeuring off screen.

    Well i was able to have sex with my now ex gf about a few weeks back and O, but it was after a failed attempt of getting hard and having intercourse with her. Made her cry and made it seem like it was her.

    So this is what u do. First off obvious quit the PMO. Secondly use a cream with ideally healing properties or aloe vera on ur P. Leave it on for a few hours, wash it off. Rinse and repeat. This heals the area and returns sensitivity faster. But note DO NOT TOUCH IT OR ENJOY THE MOISTURIZATION AND RELAPSE. U do those two things and ur good. Also suggest having a slightly different approach to sex. Try to stay calm, breath, enjoy the moment. Sometimes people actually do it too hard and fast. Go slow, improve ur stroke game and also personal question but also make sure she is well lubricated or at least minimally. Thats last on the list tho.

    First u need to re-sensitize ur self.

    Lastly there isnt really any guarantee u will orgasm during intercourse. In my experience even deep in nofap it can really depend on the position/person etc. In my case the few times it might have happened I would have prevented it to avoid pregnancy. Also sometimes a woman can be hot and loving but not know how to bring u to O through intercourse.
    anyway this isnt much of an issue. Unlike the movies or certain porn u learn that u can finish it all kinds of ways and generally most women dont care.
    However the part where u arent feeling anything and getting soft is a problem. As said before, resensitize and also pay attention to ur position. If ur legs are bent or straight, if she is cutting off blood flow in ur legs etc. Go slow and pay attention

    Stop watching P and M for no reason. Get intimate with your GF and engage in real passionate Sex, it would get better with time but first stay away from artificial unreal sex

    I think I need to abstain from real sex as well as PMO for atleast 90 days to get my dick sensitized again to the real world like all you guys said :) thanks for all your advice

    I think its the lack of sensitivity inside her probably due to lack of porn visual stimulation. I am not able to stay aroused while inside her, whereas during normal kissing and foreplay I am perfectly fine.

    Ya it’s normal to try to shift the blame. I bsed girls saying that I just wasn’t in the mood for sex. Rip tho I try not to make girl feel like it’s her fault cuz I already know it’s the porn

    Sorry missfrassed that, it made her cry and she made it seem like it was her fault. When i know damn well i cant blame anybody else but me. This is my why for quitting porn, because i hurt her and lost her, and never want to put another woman through that pain again.

    I feel you my friend, am not suffering from ED but went through what you are going through, ready for sex good erection horny emotions, once inside no feelings inside, not horny any more, bye bye erection, then after a while the rection returned to normal but suffering from DE, I googled for the reasno aaaand it's "death grip syndrome" due to masturbating a lot that's why i started NoFap journey, to regain the sensation down there, and cure my DE.

    It embarrassed me the whole time in front of my wife.

    Its nothing to be embarrassed about brother. We are on the same journey here. I have felt that abstaining from Porn and Masturbation has brought back some of my sensations back to me. Yesterday during sex when I was inside her, I could feel some sensation for the first time since I have ever had sex. The sensation was not much but it was still there. This could be a positive signal and a proof that we are in the right direction. I know as the days of abstaining increases so will the sensation start to return on the dick. So keep the NoFap journey going :)

    It is suggested that a 90 day hard reboot of no P, no M, and no O, alongside real recovery activities such as therapy or a 12 step group will serve to "reset your brain to factory settings."
