When an otherwise healthy 21-year old guy gets E.D. and he's been watching a lot of porn, the first guess is it's PIED. In older guys like me (I'm 66) there are more factors to consider. I've been watching quite a bit of porn since I've been single the past year and half following my second divorce. I have developed E.D. Of course PIED was high on my list of culprits, but I thought it could also be due to any one of my various medications, especially Adderall and its offshoot Evekeo, which my psychiatrist prescribes off-label for depression. Recently I kicked the Adderall and hoped to see normal erections return. For a few days I did feel quite a bit hornier. But even if my libido increased somewhat, I was very disturbed that my E.D. hadn't gone away. If Adderall had been the problem, that would have been an easy fix. Although I am disappointed, I am now committed to a full 90-day reboot.
I need to do the reboot regardless. But I have other possible causes such as some of my other meds and an inguinal surgery I had at about the same time the E.D. started. It's known that on rare occasions this operation can damage critical nerves.
In any case, I need to do the reboot. If that doesn't cure the problem then I'll go to a urologist for a complete work-up.
As I mentioned in a post reply, we older guys have the advantage that we have not been exposed to high-speed porn since puberty. A shorter duration of addiction should theoretically mean a quicker recovery time. On the other hand, older guys have other factors to contend with: lower testosterone levels, other contributing medical conditions, and the side effects of certain medications.
Hope springs eternal.
