I'm in my early 40's, married.
I've been looking at porn on and off since i was a teenager. I started getting ED in my 30s but it never occurred to me that it was porn related until I found this website.
I stopped all porn 5 months ago and have masturbated only a few times since then. Although I've been tempted, I don't ever want to go back to it.
The PIED really sucks. I've been intimate with my wife naturally a few times (since reboot) when the sex was spontaneous but, otherwise I've needed drugs for all the other times.
I am a depressed because:
1. I have a low libido
2. I feel like I've lost my self confidence
3. the ED has gotten in my head and has me convinced I can't succeed without drugs
So the PIED is now compounded by performance anxiety.
I'm gonna stay clean though and holding out hope that things get better.
