Hello everybody! :D I'm a little hesitant when it comes to talking about this, but here it goes.

I Just turned 21 and have been in almost a 4 year relationship with my current girlfriend. I guess I'll start my story from the beginning. Back when I was about 10 years old I saw my first pornographic image. Porn has always kind of been a part of my life. At the age of 14, I began watching porn almost every single day along with masturbating. Up until I started dating my girlfriend, that was rather true. Upon four months of dating my girlfriend we had sex. After that the masturbation slowed to about a few times per week. We had sex about 2-5 times per week, and my erections were very strong, but 3 years into our relationship we kind of had a "dry-spell" you could say. We just didn't think about sex. It wasn't something that was on our minds at all. For about 6 months I turned to porn heavily as I did before I met her. Every single day I watched porn and masturbated. Then about 6 months ago we began having sex again, and ever since then its been at a pace of about 2-3 times per week. THE ISSUE. Now ever since the dry-spell I've been having ED issues. I can't keep an erection for the life of me. I'll be inside her and I won't stay fully hard, it will be kind of a semi-boner. This happens with all stages, foreplay, sex, everything. Now for a long time she was sad about it and thought it was her, but I know it's not. I love this girl, she is the most beautiful thing in the world. There is no way it could be her. :D Then I began getting anxiety, I was worried I couldn't pleasure her, I was worried about getting soft, IT'S TERRIBLE!!!!! I for the life of me I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. I began looking in to solutions, and long story short, I stumbled upon porn endued ED. I finally realized what the problem was!

So for the past month or so I've been trying to stop watching porn/masturbating, but god is it really hard. This addiction I have is really hard to kick. This is why I have come here. To seek help, and share my story. :D I'm hoping that this will help out loads, and am very excited for the future.

As for the past month of me trying to stop, it hasn't gone to well. The most I went was 7 days without porn, and 5 days without masturbating. I masturbated last night and tonight, but without porn, with only my thoughts. It was very difficult and my penis definitely wasn't fully erect while doing it. This was very discouraging. :/

Anyways, I hope that people can give me advice, and help me through! :D

I also hope this helps, because I've never told anyone about this, well, besides my girlfriend, but even then I don't like to talk to her about it. I always get worried that she'll make fun of me for it. :/

Also, do I post to this daily, or how does this work?

Thanks for reading!

I don't think your girlfriend will make fun of you. If you are living together she may be able to help you quit.
