alright, so here is the story... i started viewing/masturbating around the age of 14 I would say. been single up to now ( 26). i noticed i had an issue down there from early on, I would say around 19 or 20, and never knew how to deal with it. no idea there was such a thing as being able to get ED, always figured it was something you are born with or not.

i am not too sure where i fall in regards to addiction, or degree of ED... i do have a few questions im hoping a expect or recovered member can help me out with...  i will also give the answer below to help.

1) how many times do i watch porn?

a) i could watch porn from 1 to maybe 8  times in one day ( 8 is my max i have ever done).

2) reason for watching porn?

a) of course when im in the mood, what i also find is when im busy.. i do not have a need for it, or masturbation. i would like to say i watch when im bored?

3) do i need porn?

c) i do not need porn to get an erection, i do not need it to orgasm either. it can work from a cute picture of a girl on insta/ facebook, and my mind will do the rest.  when my mind is blank.. i can not get hard, when i think about sex, i can.

4) outside porn?

a) i have meet with a few people. i can get hard when i get a blowjob, altho to be honest.... not 100% hard, yet not soft. when they climb on top tho, i lose the erection.... performance anxiety? selfish lol?  i am still a virgin... i will be honest.

5) is there any other questions i am missing i should be asking myself?

i would also like to know the thoughts on viagra/cialis. im well aware this is not going to fix the issue.... but i was wondering if there is a way to both recover, and still have a partner to be with sexually. can they help me in the physical department, while my mind reboots ? or am i putting my friend into a hibernation till the winter is over?

i hope there is someone who cana help answer my questions.  i am willing to do the work tho.

good luck gentlemen on the slumber

You said you had the feeling that something is "wrong down there" since 6-7 years. I think there is a good possibility that your porn use and this feeling of something is wrong can be related.
I would suggest you challenge yourself to go porn and masturbation free for a week or so. Then evaluate your situation again. If you couldn't abstain from porn, because your brain tricked you into believing that this challenge is bullshit, that is a big indicator that you indeed have a problem. Also if you're mude changes a lot, and I think it's possible to experience a mood change in both directions within the first week of abstinence, can be an indicator for porn related problems. (see mood chart in this reboot: https://www.reuniting.info/node/5956)
I think most people start this challenge for the sexual problems and go through with it because of the psychological benefits they experience. But these changes take a bit longer to show effects. Take small steps. Document what you obsereve and note trends.
Good luck
