Real ED or porn induced

Guys i'm 18 and wondering if i may have ED or porn induced. I get morning erections of which some last a long time. Also i find just lying in bed i can get erection/semi#s. When watching porn i can get hard fast or thinking about it but i find my erections can stop quickly too. Is this still signs of porn induced or do i have a mixture of ED and porn induce? Please help this is really bothering me... i mean i'm 18 never had sex... tbh never kissed a girl either... i mean maybe i could get a boner when kissing one. But i have watched some pretty extreme porn for the last year. I also find my penis becoming hard with porn but not being at it's full length.

I dunno man, but if it's only semi's then it might be.  Honestly, you're at a higher risk because you pmo without any prior sexual experience.  My advice is to just cut out the porn altogether.  From my personal experience, it has had a bad influence and it's better for you to focus on pursuing the real thing rather than wiring your brain to only get aroused by pixels the more you watch porn.  I suggest cutting out the porn/masturbation habit while you're still young.  Even if you are beginning to develop pron induced ED, cutting it out asap will get rid of it faster as well.  But seriously though, if there's one thing you get out of these forums is that porn/masturbation habits can have detrimental effects on your brain.

I know i have porn induced ED of which can be fixed. I'm worried that i may actually have erectile dysfunction... like if i do stop pmo my erections still won't work properly. Should one be able to get an erection through just touching their penis and not thinking at all? Because i cannot... i think that is mostly due to me using the death grip while masturbating. I even have a small dimple on my penis where i think i pressed to hard... i'm hoping in stopping that for like a year it should recover?
I'm not worried about having porn induced ED as it can be fixed right? I'm worried if i may also have a physical element of ED..

If you get morning wood then this will discount regular ED.  Regular ED is caused by loss of blood flow to the penis for physical reasons.  Diabetes, heart disease, aging etc.  getting checked by your DR will rule all of this out.  ED drugs were designed for these people.

It sounds to me like PIED which can be fixed by cutting out porn and rewiring to real women.  Have you watched Gabes videos or read anything on Yourbrainonporn?  Most guys with PIED can only get erect when using porn.  It is one of Gabes tests for PIED.

I've read quite alot on the site. It's just my morning erection tend to last fairly long but don't happen all the time. When watching porn i can get an erection quickly and it's hard although when i stop watching it can go less hard fairly quickly of which is what is bothering me a bit. I mean i get quite hard just when searching it... when i had a relapse i was getting hard just because i knew i was searching some up... vanilla porn hasn't worked for me for a while so... i'm glad it's not regular ED...

What is your history with pornography like? I think if it is fairly regular, it's most likely that.

If you are worried about it being organic ED causes, definitely go to a doctor! It will ease your conscious and it's generally just a really smart thing to do when kicking off your reboot.

Porn-induced erectile dysfunction IS real ED.  And yes, it does sound like that's what you've got.

I've been masturbating since like 14 pretty much daily sometimes twice. Sometimes when i ejaculate it doesn't even feel that good... often when i do it too much. The porn i watch is sometimes also quite extreme... i often don't have the urge do watch porn i just do it when i'm depressed/bored. I do have a bad penis curve which i'm getting surgery for that has stressed me out alot etc but i won't want to be toucing my penis for a while after that. Guess my reboot will start then properly for sure. I've never had sex or kissed a girl but i just know from the smyptoms i have some kind of ED.
The fact that i still get morning erection does that mean it can't be too bad? E.g may only take like 3-4 months? Or am i looking at like atleast a good 9 months?
Thanks guys!
Sorry haven't replied for while though my post was lost in forum.
