Having ED, why? porn? depression? or confusion of being bi?

Hello, I am 23 year old guy. I want to tell my story in little detail, so that you experts can decide if its really because of porn.

First when i started watching porn, it was straight porn. and then later firstly i started browsing for naked pics of hot hairy men on google. I was not sure if i was gay or bi or straight. I had childhood male friend with whom i used to get naked and play with each others body. and we were doing it since childhood. back then i didn't even knew the terms gay or bi or straight.  But by the age 16-17 i started reading about homo sexuality. Then i started watching Gay porn, a lot of it, and only used to like particular kind of men (little muscular, hairy and WITH MUSTACHE, and matured older than 30-35 ) so whenever i was on net , it took lot time to find correct porn with the type of man I like. So until 23 I had watched thousands of videos. even while watching straight porn i only used watch those where my type of man was present. 

So that was just background story, and now I'm not worried about whether I'm Gay or Bi. I am worried about my ED.  I'm still virgin, sort of because I can not penetrate and I lose my erection right at the point of entering. I have only been with men until now. I have never even kissed a girl until now.

So when I turned 23, i discovered a Gay dating website. I made few male friends. For the first date I only played role of bottom and lost my ass virginity, I wanted to top but he didn't allowed me to be top because he said he was top only.  Next time with another guy who was bottom, when I tried to enter him, i just lost my erection all of sudden.  and i could not even get it up after that and I didn't even come. So it was my first time trying to enter someone, I thought it could be because of performance anxiety , so i looked it up on internet and discovered term ED.  and one thing I forgot to tell you that I am depressed these days because of not getting a job. and while reading about ED, one article said it could be due to Depression. after few day when I was again reading about ED I discovered the term "Porn induced ED"

So right now I am little confused whether my ED is because of Depression or excessive porn.?

I get very hard erection before going to sleep or when i wake up. so hard that my dick hurts little bit. so I think problem is not with my penis.

and I can masturbate with or without porn by thinking about my favorite porn OR by remembering my sexual encounters with few men I have been with. i get hard while doing that and can masturbate and come without any problem.

I joined that gay dating website about 4 months ago and had sex (i got fucked) about 3 and half months ago. after that I have tried at lease 4 times to penetrate but I have always lost erection no matter how hard it was while in foreplay. 

and one more thing I want to point out before having sex for the first time I was watching too much porn . i used to watch porn many times a day and masturbate,  some days masturbate at least twice a day. But after having sex for the first time I sort of lost interest in porn and my porn watching frequency reduced drastically.

and after reading on the internet and discovering Porn induced ED I have stopped watching porn.   and I have also deactivated my dating account on website.

So I will now just list the questions I have in my mind,

1. could it be because of excessive porn or Depression

2. Can I indulge myself in fantasies? and also stop looking at my shirtless neighbor who is hot? ;)

3. Should I stop having sex for few months? and by sex I mean being bottom and get fucked.? because I can only be bottom right now as I can not keep it hard when i go for penetration.

4. All the men I like are above 40-45, the one I like the most is 55, almost my father's age. I am only 23,  So could it be because I don't feel like dominating them while having sex because they are so older then me.

5. should I try with a girl to test if it happens with females too. (but its really hard to get a decent girl here in India for one night stand ;) )

6. and I am liking this one man very much, we chat a lot, normal topics mostly, rarely sexting, should i avoid chatting with him too much for few days until i recover from my ED.?


That is all i could think of right now, i will let you know if any more doubts come to my mind.

Thank you guys in advance and waiting for favorable reply to clear my doubts.  :)

Day 2

Ok. this is my Day 2, here on this forum. I have actually stopped watching porn one week or so before joining this forum. But for convenience I will count my no porn streak from the day I posted this here.

I'm still waiting for a reply from you guys. quite desperate to clear some of my doubts (which i have listed in main post) so that I would know what things I should be doing and what not.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome on the forum. Congratulations on stopping watching porn cold turkey!
I'm no expert on the topic but I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can.

1. It could be due to either or a mixt of both.

2. Indulging yourself in fantasies might sound like a good idea when you first think about it because you think you are not watching porn anymore but in fact it's not. Quit fantasising as well because you will probably still think about porn again while fantasising and you will feed the same pathways as when you looked at porn. Just give your brain some rest about that at all.

3. I don't think I could answer this even though I'd say it would be better not to have sex during a reboot if it's not within a deep relationship but others might be more knowledgeable about it than me.

4. Since I'm straight I don't really know about it either but I do like older women than me but not exclusively. I did have sex with a woman who was 45yo when I was 26yo but it was just a fantasy rather than my actual tastes. Now that I already "tested" this age range, I'm more interested in women my age now even though I can still find many women of 50+yo very attractive. In your case I don't think it has anything to do with your PMO use and it might simply be your personal tastes.

5. I've got no idea about this one.

6. Since you said you were hardly sexting and most of the topics are normal, I don't see any harm in this.


I would advise you to read all the articles on YBOP because you might find better answers to your questions. => http://yourbrainonporn.com/

Best of luck

Thank you jnv.

I will try and stop fantasizing too.  :)

If at all I indulge in sex, it would be only with one man, whom I like so much (the same man I'm chatting so much with). anyways I don't think there is any problem for me quitting sex too, but in case opportunity comes should I abstain my self from reaching orgasm, and just concentrate on pleasing him?

and I will definitely have a look at YBOP.

Thanks again for your reply.  :)
