PIED

Alright so I?m 22 years old and I have trouble maintaining an erection. I have watched porn since I was maybe like 14. You know nothing too hardcore but like anything that was HD was what I normally went for. When I found out I had a problem was back when I was 19 and tried having sex with my gf. The first time it didn?t work out cause I couldn?t get hard. Then we tried a second time and I had the same trouble but we managed to have pretty good sex because once I was hard I was able stay hard for like 10/15 seconds and if I inserted within that time and started having sex then I would stay hard no problem. The problem I have is keeping an erection without any stimulation. So during oral sex I have no problem maintaining an erection because it is a consistent stimulation. My problem is basically keep an erection without having any sort of stimulus. I get hard but then I can?t maintain it long enough unless I?m getting head or I insert right away. I?m a healthy guy, I work out, I?m in good shape. I believe my problem might be porn. I am not sure if anyone else has experienced  this  and if yes then what should I be doing? Currently I have a gf that I get intimate with and I want to be able to have sex but I?m a scared that I won?t be able to hold an erection long enough to penetrate. 

Sounds like PIED - porn induced erectile disfunction
You may be wired to the constant stimulation that porn gave you, so now you cant get erect enough to successfully penetrate and maintain the hardness.
The only way to find out suppose is to stop all artifical stimulation and take a look at the results.

Hello fella, i have the exact same problem as you. Im also 22, i've been watching porn for years and everytime i had sex, the same thing would happen: I'd start hard as a rock, but when i'd penetrate the girl, my erection would get softer within minutes, to the point where i was no more than 50% hard and we would stop having sex and i would just lay there feeling like shit. Its been a year since i tried the last time because i had no idea what was causing the problem. Im still not 100% sure, but there's an enormous chance that Porn caused it.
Sorry i dont have an answer to your post, but thought it would be nice for you to know you're not alone with this situation.
I spent 2 or 3 weeks without PMO, then i got to flatline and it scared the shit out of me and i ended up MO, but without Porn. Immediately regreted it. Now im no PMO for just a couple of days, but i intend to go 90.
Good luck for us

Hi I had a few questions
1) if I?m orgasming with the help of a partner whether it be handjob, oral sex or actual sex, is that okay?
2) if I masturbate like maybe once a week but don?t orgasm, does that reset the rebooting period ??

Hi,
1. that worked fine for me. In fact it even helped my recovery. What you need to do is to rewire your brain to real sexual experiences as opposed to images on a screen. So a (sexually) supportive partner can be helpful. Just concentrate on the feelings of love and affection you have for them while in the act.
2. no? unless you are going hardmode, in which case maturbation is off limits. Also, why would you want to masturbate but not orgasm?

Alright that sounds good. So I have quit porn for more than like two weeks and sometimes when I?m on social media scrolling and stuff I?ll see something or like a pic of a girl in bikini which makes me want to MO so what I was think of doing is just masturbating to right before I orgasm to Kinda have the feeling but also get rid of it at the same time but I feel like that?s not effective. Wanted to know if thats just gonna slow me down on my way to recovery 

I think it would slow you down for sure.
There is still the dopamine release that comes from fapping to an image on the screen. Even if you dont jizz to it there is still the artificial stimulation - something you want to avoid at all costs.
You should stop it if you want to see any real progress

I have been rebooting for like a little while now. A few things that I noticed and might be helpful for ppl to reboot more effectively.

1) unfollow any pages on ig that might post pics of hot girls
2) if you keep yourself occupied or in the presence of other ppl, and try to not be home, it?s going to be easier to reboot
3) if you?re in bed late night and feel like ahh I wanna MO then just turn off your phone and sleep
I know if gets hard af to control sometimes at night but after like a few days your urges are gonna be there but you won?t necessarily turn to porn to feed those urges. I just think about the stuff i might wanna do with the girl I?m talkin to or just imagine. Been noticing pretty solid boners in the morning. I?m not saying the problem is solved because I wouldn?t know until then next time I try to have sex, but I do think I more actively wanna get intimate with a person rather than watching porn. Watching porn killed my sex drive because I was almost always satisfied. Now since I?m not doing it that absence is helping me get frequent boners and I?m hoping when I?m with my girl they will last longer as well. Good luck to all
