19 and Beginning Reboot

[Cmoore21]

Ive been suffering from porn addiction for a long time now. Im 19 and i began watching porn around the age of 12 and began JO with porn. Over the past two years, ive noticed that i cannot keep an erection during sexual intercourse. I usually go soft before we even begin. It is very embarrassing and it has greatly affected my self-esteem. The only time i can get an erection is when i watch porn. Otherwise, i cant get completely hard.

So, i was wondering if any you have any tips when it comes to rebooting. Im doing no porn and no masturbation. I want to fix this problem, and i need to change. How long should i do it? How do i eventually reintroduce masturbation? Should i engage in sex? (Im single currently) I need a lot of support because this is not going to be easy!! Thanks so much for your replies and help!

Long sufferer  here too.
Listen, it is really great that you figured out at young age that you had a problem and whats the cause.Great,your problem is 50 % solved. Now just relax and think. Think about all the troubles you might have in the future like severe PIED , escalation to weirder porn types , having relationship troubles etc. .Nobody would like that.
Just focus on your goal of beating this , focus on not letting the "beast" take over , exercise and relax.
It might take a while to get where you want to get (like 3-9 months ) , but your future-self WILL thank you eventually. Stay safe my friend.
