So here's my journal.
I'm 22. I work out about 3-4 times a week. I'm also a swimmer. English is not my first language so I apologize in advance for any errors.
I remember my sister's ex boyfriend who told me not to watch porn too much, telling me I might not enjoy sex as much if I did. I didn't listen since I was 14 at the time and thought he just didn't want me to watch porn because I was too young. I thought porn was just as normal as masturbating. I really should have listened.
I've had problems maintaining my erection during penetration before but I didn't really worry too much about it until recently. There's this girl I really like and we had sex for the first time on new year. I lost my erection mid-sex and couldn't get it back up. I figured it was the alcohol or maybe even just anxiety. She was cool about it. I saw her again last week and I even took 2 pills of a local "performance enhancing" supplement (over-the-counter in my country), just to be sure but still lost my erection not long before penetration. I felt so bad because she thought it was because of her, I assured her it was just anxiety. I finally got hard again after we smoked some pot (I do not encourage pot if it's illegal in your state or country) and we had sex, it was great. But the whole night opened my eyes. If the pills didn't work, then something's wrong. I stopped watching porn altogether after that night and I've even stopped masturbating (in an attempt to increase my libido). I saw her again last night and again, I couldn't keep it 100% erect for very long (no pot that time). I really care for this girl. A LOT.
I've only started reading about this porn-induced ED a couple of hours ago and I'm glad I'm on the right track by abstaining from porn and masturbation. I'm on day 8 now and thanks to Gabe and everyone who talks about this, I'm looking at a bright and porn-free future!
