Erectile Dysfunction Because Of Porn And Excessive Masturbation

    Hi all,

    I have a question for whoever might have experienced this - for the past months, I've had weaker and weaker errections, sometimes I can't even get a proper errection when watching porn! And when I do, I can't really maintain it unless I constantly masturbate, it would go soft if I don't touch it for 10 seconds or so!

    Has anyone experienced this? Have you recovered from it? Was it because of excessive masturbation over the years like me?

    If it helps, I'm 25 years old.

    Many thanks guys.

    Yours,
    LionDick

    Of course man, I have exactly the same symptoms. I'm better but not fully recovered yet. Many of us in here suffer from the same. Many have already recovered, you just have to search here on this forum.

    In the same boat mate - still waiting for it to spring back to life.

    However you possibly need to think about whether it is the excessive masturbation, or whether it's the porn.Your brain (as the above video will show)is of course central to getting erections, so you have to think whether it is the addiction to the porn/material that is causing the issue.

    I was worried for a while, but the truth is it may only come back after a bit of a brain reboot. Fingers crossed and good luck :)

    Thanks TotalLifeChange! I will be watching this video definitely!

    And thanks Longtime27! Well I've been masturbating for years now, quite excessively at times so I'm not really sure! I just hope it's not something physical as I can't really get a proper erection not even when I watch porn and when I do, like I said, it doesn't last long without stimulation :(

    I do start getting morning woods if I don't masturbate for a couple of days and they tend to get stronger with each day passing by so that's good.

    It's refereshing to hear that this is normal for many of the guys here, I will keep on fighting, thanks guys!

    OMG I made it to almost a week! I was so close to relapse 2 times this weekend and even though I went to a porn site for a few minutes, I didn't put my hands on my dick at all, I turned that shit off as soon as I realized that this usually ends bad and me relapsing! But it didn't happen and I'm set to follow my objective!

    Still don't really get erections but my dick will RAWR again some day!

    Good discipline sir!

    You'll want to completely avoid the porn though - watching it is far more serious than just masturbating: http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/what-if-i-use-porn-without-orgasm (thanks IGY for the link!).

    In response to your original question- yes I have Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction. I find it takes me several weeks of no exposure to porn or porn substitutes before I start getting erections outside of (weak) morning wood. You've come to the right place. I haven't cured myself yet, but I'm hopefully on my way.

    Thanks Pellaeon - I know, I will try to avoid porn as well but I'm just happy I managed to not give in for the very first time (it's been a struggle for weeks) and even though I know it's bad I watched it for 10-15 minutes (thinking whether or not to do it, it's like part of me was trying to convinve me to masturbate) but
    I didn't whatsoever!

    I will avoid it in the future, try to stay as clean as possible, appreciate all the support!

    And also, congratulations on your 12 days of no PMO!!! God, I never reached that, it's motivating to see people like yourself setting the bar higher for me! (I know there's people that haven't done it in months but seeing someone closer to my own record makes it more realistic for myself!)

    Thanks again!

    You're welcome. And yes, that is a huge thing to celebrate. I've been trying to kick this habit for a few years now (though only joined nofap this past fall), and I only just managed to abstain after triggering myself in such a fashion last month.



    One quick nit pick that I think will be helpful for you - remove the word "try" from your vocabulary. When you say "I will try to be better" you are mentally projecting that you will not succeed. This is a far more powerful way to phrase it:

    I know it is rather asinine of me to pick apart your phrasing, especially when you've already done what I suggested in the first half of your sentence. I feel it is worth risking alienating myself in order to pass on something that I and my friends have found extremely useful.

    Thank you. You WILL reach it as well. As I said above, just turning off the porn like you did while triggered is a HUGE step. One that took me years to get to.

    Thanks Pellaeon, I WILL stick to it - I mean damn, I almost broke my record and I am so happy! And I managed to pass the weekend without doing it so that means I WILL be 12 days strong on Friday and 2 weeks on Sunday when I WILL resist masturbating throughout the weekend AGAIN!

    A tip that works for me - maybe you're applying it for yourself but thought I'd say it - whenever I think of big bad wolf called PMO, I instantly try to think of a powerful thing like having a girlfriend in the future as opposed to NOT having a girlfriend in the future if I keep PMO-ing! That motivates me a lot lately and bare in mind I don't have a problem getting girls - I just want to be CURED before I do so - I can then get back to my real self!

    Not sure if that was helpful but good luck in your journey!

    Hey all!

    Just a quick update - I've never made it to 16 days Omg!!! I have no morning woods (it seems like I'm going through the "flatline"), haven't really had any for the past 2 weeks or so and the urge is UNREAL! But I won't give in, my dick will only be touched when I pee! It can rawr as much as he wants, no no no!!!

    Lion, I don't think that you should expect to get back to your "self" just because you can "perform" a certain act of nature. I think that you should really try to get back to your "self" first. I think that once you get comfortable with your self, you'll become more relaxed, and you will allow things to happen the way they're supposed to. And not really care if it doesn't happen. I don't mean to come off as arrogant. Just my own personal experience. I sympathize with you and just want to help. I applaud your effort.

    I know what you mean and thanks for your advice Greek99.

    On another note, there's only one LionDick and he's about to go to sleep now (he a bit naughty too but I'm gonna slap the shit out of him if he gets out of line) LOL :)

    Hi guys,

    Now that I made it to 3 weeks of no PMO, I would like to hear from those that suffered from severe ED - apart from some morning erections (which don't happen all the time), my erections are still weak when they do happen. I know this can take a long time (weeks and months) but I was wondering, for all of you who cured it, when did you start seeing major improvements?

    Same exact boat! It really sucks but it'll get better if we keep PMO free.

    Yeah man, hopefully will start seeing some improvements soon!

    Yes this may affect your sexual health but it sometimes occur for temporarily period and goes its own. Now a days younger men also facing to this problem. ED problem now can be solve by the using medications like generic viagra 100mg, kamagra jelly etc helps to achive sustainable erection.

    Hi guys,

    After coming from my 1 week holiday yesterday I relapsed (I made it to 26 days!) so I'm disappointed that I gave in after such a good run :( but I am now more motivated to be disciplined and make sure whenever I have the urge to do it, I will just stop it right there before it turns into action.

    God, I never thought this addiction was soooooo bad :(

    Hi LionDick,

    Just keep going. All progress certainly isn't lost. 1 PMO won't erase almost 4 weeks of abstinence.
