Hello everyone. I'm so glad I found this community. I started masturbating at a very young age I think around 13-14 years. At first it was all fun and it took me about 8 days after the first time I tried it to masturbate again and after that I did it again 5 days later. Since then it has been a continuous reoccurrence in my life. I've tried to stop this habit more than 3 times now but to no avail. The first time I made the decision to stop it lasted only 7 days and I was dragged back into this life. The second time I was able to abstain for only 5 days and I bounced right back. I remember making the decision to completely stop on my 18th birthday but I couldn't bring myself to do this. I was already addicted.
My parents never really had the best marriage and this planted a notion in my mind to not want to get married coupled with not having many friends and always being alone. I stumbled on porn which became my first addiction b4 graduating into masturbation. Sometimes I masturbated as much as 8 times a day.
I'm 21 now and I met this really beautiful and kind hearted girl who im really into and I care for a lot and the first time we tried getting intimate, I couldn't get a full erection or even maintain it for more than a minute. Although we only agreed to oral sex for now I still feel something is wrong with me as since we started making out and other stuff, I don't get erections as frequently as I used to in the past and even my morning wood is gone. I don't know the cause of this and I also don't find porn attractive anymore. The only time I have an erection is when I'm with her but it's weak and I can't maintain it for long. Pls I need help with this as I really care for her and don't want to loose her. I've also not masturbated now for about a week. Thank you. Looking forward to y'all replies.
