Rebooting after shameful experience

Hello people,
I am new to this site, glad I found it right in time. I had tried quitting P several times now but it was until last Friday that I realized of a huge problem that I didn't know I had. Let me back up a little, I am ashamed of what I am about to say but I am 27 years old and still a virgin. I don't want to go much into detail about it but the problem is with social anxiety. I have been close to getting laid but for one or another reason it never happened. Well that is until last Friday I was with this girl and we had a few drinks and went to her place. I was so excited about it but I was in shock when I realized I could not get an erection AT ALL. It was brutal! I was ashamed and had to leave her place, I blamed it on the alcohol and left. ??????????????????

porn induced ED fella. Your brains only conditioned to porn as erotic and didn't experience a real women. In time that will change with nofap. its difficult and you'll slip up but the continuous effort leads to change and of course making it through the pure suffering of nofap. there's no way aroud

Hey I'm sorry you had this experience. I'm super glad you have found this forum though and I wish you good luck on your recovery. Start a journal ?

Hey man,

There's no shame in being a virgin.

Truth is once your off this stuff you will find someone who you care about and find true intimacy. As Dr Phil once said it's better to be healthy and alone than sick with someone else.

I'm 25 and I also haven't had sex, and granted mine is voluntary. But before I decided to stop PMO I used to think about all those porn induced fantasies I would do when I find someone. Think how disturbing and shameful that is.

Get healthy and find someone who you can truly be intimate with, who you can love and give to. Those are the things which last and can bring the most meaning. Who cares if you are a virgin now if you can end up in a healthy relationship later.

Just keep going.
