Hey Folks
So I am new to the subject at hand, took me years to finally understand I had an issue at all and now I am looking for an explanation for my crisis.
I read a lot and watched a lot of videos on the matter and the thing is, technically I am checking ALL the boxes for PIED.
Am still a Virgin
Consume porn since I was about 12
Devoleped somewhat nasty fetishes
Have always struggled getting hard without Porn
Did edging long before I knew what it was
Was more interested in chasing the right video/material than actually ejaculating
Now heres my issue: I have been with women before, sexual relations too, just no intercourse. I never found it hard to quit porn even when I was just asking a girl out. I just went back to it when the relationsship ended without losing the kinda 'progress' you make concerning devoleped fetishes and stuff. For the first time in my life now, I feel I am truly in love (early 30s), sex became not just an option but seemed to be the next natural step of the relation. I just couldnt performe. Have stopped porn since the day love struck me, so about a 2 months ago, never had any withdrawal symptoms or any wish to consume porn ever again. At the same time I feel like my partner and I are sexually active as far as you can be without an erection. So much so that I feel overwhelmed by how much this women turns me on, just from looking at her or kissing. Its insane because I think with PIED I am supposed to have way weaker reactions to stimuli like smell, touch, sounds the partner makes... Feelings are imo very strong and bloodflow into my penis starts very easily (also insane amounts of precum...). I cant maintain erections and struggle hard to get 'full' ones though. It might be more than one cause (performance anxiety for example) I am aware of this, and no matter what, I am of course done with porn because I feel it destroyed my life. So I am rebooting anyway. At the same time I am getting my heart checked out, my prostate and testosterone levels this month and I am kinda in fear that my crisis wont even end after months of rebooting because my issue feels different from PIED.
I am hoping to reassure myself, regain a bit of hope that me improving my diet, being physically active, avoiding porn like the plague and making out with my girlfriend will actually someday redeem myself.
Thank you in advance for sharing what thoughts you might have or expiriences youve had yourself
