Hi! I'm new on this forum. I read a stories that so similar to mine. Porn absolutely destroy my realsex abilities. Bad erection, low sensitivity, fear of realsex, diffidence, impotene during penetration. As I realized what the main reason is, I made a firm decision to give up porn. But I still have a 2 basic questions. Do i need to give up fap too? And how can I check progress? Only sex practice (I have to mention that I developed a big fear of failure, and it interferes with successful sex too)? Or maybe I can fap sometimes (obviously without porn) to check progress to feel confident before real sex? Sorry if it possibly wrong section, I'm new here.
For me personally - porn is the enemy. I am temporarily giving up PMO (porn, masturbation and orgasm) to speed up the recovery. I recommend that you do the same for a period of time if you are a porn addict. I believe it is necessary to get rid of this bad habit that is porn and jerking off. If you continue from the beginning to still masturbate and ejaculate, I believe it will only make it harder for you to quit porn and will draw you back into it.
