Hi everyone. I would like to share my story and would love to get advice on my situation.
I'm a 47 year old single guy (no girlfriend and no sexual friend) who has watched porn almost every day since the age of about 15. It started with magazines, then videocassettes and finally the internet. I've own a personal computer since 1998 and I believe my exclusive use of internet porn started probably around 2000. I've had a urologist verify my testosterone levels and they're just fine.
My current situation can be described like this: My masturbation frequency is about 4 times a week, so I don't consider myself porn addicted, but I very strongly suspect that porn is the cause of many things. I'm now at a point where nothing excites me in porn anymore. I've been using a vibrator on one of my nipples (erogenous zone for me) at every masturbatory session for years). Even when I search for more extreme or unusual scenes it doesn't have much effect on me. I think I'm just totally jaded from it all. Even though I don't experience addiction, I have many symptoms such as unability to be turned on by real women (and don't get me wrong it's the same with men so I'm not gay), incapable of having satisfying sex even with women that I find very attractive and totally my type, semi-erection at the moment of ejaculation, it takes forever to find content intense enough to bring me to ejaculation, orgasms quite ordinary, etc... and definitely ED, but I think the most appropriate description is more very poor sex drive than ED, because I can definitely say that when I'm excited I do get pretty hard.
So my real question is this. Can I have hopes of rebooting the same way than the ones that are addicted? Any advice and/or comments are welcome. Thank you all for taking the time to read me.
