Ok Im just trying to get to the bottom of this problem.

Yes Ive watched P everyday and M'd once everyday

But I really dont feel like Im addicted to it. Ive kept off P for over a month with no urges at all. I do have the occasional urge to M though. This is making me doubt if P is really the problem. Dont get me wrong Im never watching P again anyway because of how destructive it can be.

But this is why Im doubting if its the problem. I was a virgin till last year, and have had "sex" 7 times with 7 different girls and the erections only lasting a few seconds. The girls were really hot too. But, on the other hand I used to occasionally go on Skype and had some random girls strip for me on there, and some of them werent even hot, and I could get a perfect 100% hard on. 

Of course Im not counting this as "porn". Id been watching porn at other times.

Now this is why its confusing for me. The stuff on skype is exactly the same thing as what I was getting in real life,  but just that it was on the computer screen. It wasnt any fetish, or anything.  Is this still a porn problem, or could it be a case of anxiety?

I just wanna get the root cause of it

Hi,
the thing is, one has to get this image of the addict out of one's head: The guy, who claws his way through walls when he has to go cold turkey. Some guys can quit from one day to the other (I did, not one relapse so far) and have hardly any withdrawals - but that is not what this is about. Porn addiction is about the changes is your brain, that porn caused. The sensitization to artificial stimulation and the de-sensitization to real partners.

Think of it like the effect of a poison. It can damage you, even though you aren't addicted to it. And depending on your individual circumstances, a month is unlikely to bring along big changes already.

P.I.ED and performance anxiety go hand in hand. It is not possible, to really say if you only have P.I.ED or only some PA. The best thing is to stop the artificial stimulation (with imo includes Skype cams) and be with real girls in flesh and blood.

Good Luck
