Help please ED? PIED?

Due to years of watching porn and masturbating (from age 11 to now, 26) I find it difficult to achieve an erection without porn. I had little to no sexual activity during this time because of low self esteem among other things so I relied on porn. After losing weight and feeling a bit more confident (still a big guy. 320 lbs lbs 6 ft), I began to date.

Our first few times were embarrassing as I found it difficult to get hard. I would be going down on her, sucking on her breast to look down and just see a flaccid dick. I have taken Viagra that I received from a friend the last few times we were sexually active. I got rock hard immediately but found it difficult to maintain an erection while switching positions. She would have to perform oral for about 30 seconds to get me hard again.

I am hoping that this is due to porn induced ED rather than the real ED. With that being said, I was thinking of going on a No Porn challenge. I would like to practice getting hard solely with my hand stimulation and masturbating. The problem is, I don’t get fully hard when I don’t watch porn, maybe 40-50% erect. Since I’ve read that it is bad to masturbate and release when not fully hard, should I begin by holding that erect state for as long as I could and hopefully work my way up as the days go by? Or should I attempt a no porn and no masturbation?

Sorry for the wall of text.

Porn induced ED is real. There are many threads about this. I suggest you stop watching porn and if you want to masturbate, use fleshlight. It may be that visually, you are conditioned to look at porn and that the fake moans and grunts of porn rewired your brain.Oral is the best way to attain rock hard erection. At least, you have that. Try using L-Arginine, Horny Goat Weed, Tribulus and/or Mucuna Pruriens. They will help with your libido and erection quality.

Thank you for your input. I have been depressed thinking about this all week. I couldn’t even enjoy my Thanksgiving.

Do you get night/morning wood?

Hi backmask,

First thing, you have to give up porn as soon as possible… go cold turkey.

To make it easier, you’ll need to find a substitute activity to keep you busy, (or more than one).

May I suggest one being some exercise. It always amazes me how guys who are overweight, wonder why their penis isn’t functioning correctly. Your penis is connected to your body, and if your body is not at 100%, why should your penis be any different.

This means you need to get your head in the game… a lifestyle change, based on exercise, a healthy diet, and a healthy mind.

Good luck :)

A few times a month maybe. Why?

I’ve heard that is the best indicator as to whether ED is a mental or physical issue.
