I don't know if I have porn addiction

I do look at internet pornography but not very often. I would say generally between once a week and once every two weeks. I'm 27 and I've never had serious problems getting an erection with a woman in bed. When getting a handjob I was able to get and keep an erection and cum. When getting a blowjob, I was able to cum 3 times in one night. When I had sex a few months ago, I might have some problems getting an erection at first, but this might have had to do with lack of foreplay and I was kind of tired. I did eventually "finish the act." I just didn't get an erection right away.

How do you define porn induced erectile dysfunction? Is it only when you are completely unable to get an erection, or could it be some difficulty getting an erection?

Hearing about this stories makes me very scared. Should I just avoid pornography even if I don't have erectile problems?

Should you not smoke, because some people get lung cancer? Some people smoke until old age and die of other causes....

Should you not drink, because people can become alcoholics? Most people don't become alcoholics....

There is a risk involved with porn, that you can develop P.I.ED from desensitization. There is a risk, that some changes of your brain might be permanent, meaning even with a reboot you don't regain the libido you had before porn changed your brain. You have to decide, if jacking off to porn is worth that risk to you.

There are a lot of guys here who have severe ED,
meaning they can't get it to work at all during real sex. Just limp.
That's what severe ED looks like.

As for quitting porn, it's really up to you.
But watching porn has no benefits,
and porn use always tend to escalate.

awesome answer!
Based on what the original poster wrote, sounds like you have fairly normal sexual function.
Now obviously you never want to get to the point where you're in the depths of PIED.
So just like anything else that has potential risk, you have to decide for yourself if
it's worth it. Doesn't seem like you're anywhere near the problems most men have
on this forum but who knows what the future holds.

There are definitely varying degrees in which porn effects people's lives. Some people have moderate effects from it, some people have severe effects and they can use the same amount. That definitely is evident in people's success stories and posts.

I would say quitting porn can only improve your sex life in the long run. If you quit porn and notice your libido dip way down...you likely have some dependence to pornography. Don't get scared of this, it means the reboot is the right path for you.
