    Hey Guys, I'm having troubles to get an erection and it's really freaking me out. I masturbate quite a lot. And I've been masturbating a lot since I was 12 or 13. I either watch porn or look at pictures. I tried to have sex with my girlfriend and couldn't get an erection no matter how much she helped me. Only if I try and masturbate, I'll get an erection. It's really freaking me out. I don't know what to do. I feel ashamed after I couldn't have an erection and it's taking a toll on me. I'm afraid I'll be impotent forever. I'm afraid that next time I try to have sex, I wouldn't get an erection. I precum during foreplay itself and lose interest in sex. Someone help me. I don't know what to do.

    Well for starters....quit touching your damn willy, you are only exasperating the problems you are so worried about. Secondly, that anxiety right there kills erections right there, so learn to be calm and kind to yourself. Stop watching porn. If you want to fix it you must have the determination to kick this crap out of your life and hop back on the saddle, from there you ride of into the sunset towards your self actualization journey.

    Cheers!

    This is classed PIED, porn induced erectile dysfunction.

    Step 1. Immediately stop watching all porn, including visuals such as photos.

    Step 2. Do not touch your dick, only to pee and bathe. No edging or testing!

    Step 3. Find something productive to occupy your time in order to not relapse. Be active on here for support.

    Step 4. Wait, be strong and as time passes your brain will rewire itself to factory settings. I would advise you to tell your girlfriend about this too, let her know it isn't her fault, and that it has nothing to do with her. Rebooting with a girlfriend can be very beneficial, knowing that there is no pressure to have sex with her and both being on the same page, being able to just cuddle and kiss her pressure free over the course of months, in addition to all the steps above will speed up your reboot and recovery.

    You are unable to get an erection with your girlfriend because you have conditioned yourself to extreme levels of sexual stimuli on a computer/phone screen. You have desensitized yourself to the point that simply being naked with your girl isn't enough to get you hard anymore. The only cure for this are the steps above.

    The anxiety is killing me. I'm worried if I'll ever be properly erect. I feel like I'm not interested in sex or even porn anymore. I feel like I'm losing my attraction and even feel asexual. Getting real worried because of this.

    These are just symptoms of PMO recovery, you will get past this phase of disinterest and lack of libido.

    How Long do you think it will take for me to recover? Cuz I heard people took over 9months to recover. It was really hard for me to not masturbate for a month. 9 months sounds quite Impossible..

    Well I tried noFap for like 20days and relapsed. Trying to get back at it again. Started watching porn to see if I have erections. And I don't. So that's scaring me.

    20 days can be much too soon to see results, depending on the severity of the issue. And the first 90 days are usually the most difficult to get over. After that it (usually) gets easier and you start to see results

    And don't worry. Most people get into (even worse) depressions while the brain is getting rewired. I've certainly had my fair share of flatline depression. But it goes away. Everyone needs a different time to recover. Some are faster, some need a year or even longer. But that's really rare.

    If you do as @Sharksvv said you will see results. I don't have anything to add to his post, he listed everything important. Follow his advice.
