    I am 38 years of age and have been addicted to porn and masturbation since the age of 11. With the exception of a few liaisons with prostitutes, 1 night stands with women on swinging sites, and failed attempts at sex in a relationship, I have no sexual experience with other people. I have never experienced anything remotely resembling a normal sex life. Whats more, the physical gratitude I experience from porn / masturbation way out passes sex with other people. When having sex with other people, I am unable to obtain an erection and am not turned on at all.

    Despite the above, I would like the emotional connection that a loving sexual relationship would provide, but I feel I am a long way from this relationship goal. I don't have any problem talking to women and starting friendships (actually most of my friends are women), but the more I get to know someone the less interested i am with having sex with them. They become almost like a sister to me. Most women say they feel very comfortable around me, as I give off non sexual vibes. Over the years I have had few women I am friends with even hit on me, but am simply unable to see them in a sexual light.

    The only women I feel sexually attracted to are slutty looking women (like porn stars). It's like an animalistic attraction, but I could never imagine being in a relationship with such a woman, and the moment I got to know her I would loose sexual interest pretty quickly.

    Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on overcoming it?
     
  2. I think the most of people there had that problem, but to a different extend. It seems to be really simple and common - your sexuality is such porn-oriented, that it was totally detached from real life. You have very unhealthy image of sexuality in your mind and you react only for porn stimulation. I know it is hard to heard that, but using porn castrated and emasculated you by now- your female friends cannot see you as a man and probably even you cannot see yourself like that. Think about it, how deeply using porn affected your life. However, you can always take actions to fix yourself!

    However I have not experience with such problem I will try to write something to help. First of all you need immediately stop watching porn and masturbate for at least 90 days (probably more). You need also to avoid swinger's sites, online chats and similar things. I would recommend you to restrain from social media and TV series, movies and other things promoting unrealistic image of women. You need to work on it.

    Your brain lives in a big lie! Your brains think that women (people who you consider women in sexual way) don't even exist in real life, but only on the screen (except those 'slutty looking' you told about, but not very often). In consequence you detached the sexual desires from emotions and relationships. You can have relationships (not only romantic) with girls but they are not girls in sexual terms for you.

    Fingers crossed!

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think what you say makes 100% sense. I definitely don't see myself as a man and think I have detached sexual desires from emotions and relationships. For me sex is something that happens on a screen, and does not resemble real life.

    I have now been doing NoFap for 8 days, but still don't have a morning erection. So I guess this process will take a very long time. 90 days seems a very quick fix for behaviour that has been ingrained for almost 30 years. I am amazed people do see dramatic results in 90 days. I have very low expectations. Do you think this is something that will take a few years to overcome?

    I would say this is a pretty common theme, I have had these same problems to a lesser extent and felt totally detached from real women and unless i was degrading them in my head i wasn't interested. I did a hard reset a few years back and incorporated jelqing, kegels and reverse kegels as well as regular gym exercise and a good diet and it all changed. The ED stopped and the PE got under control and ive had good intimate relationships since, for the most part. It is a long difficult process but its well worth it and the gratitude you will get from a loving relationship will far exceed the gratification you are getting from PMO trust me. Good luck and don't let the short term pleasure stop you from achieving long term happiness.
     
  5. I believe you will feel significantly better after a few months but the porn effects will be diminishing continuously after that too. I don't know how long it will take to feel totally well- there are to many factors, for example your lifestyle, exercising, your approach, emotional situation etc, but I am certain that you will see difference after 90 days and then you will know that the rest of bad things is going to left you.
