New to all of this.

Hello to all of you.  I am 60 years old, and just by accident found the Gabe's videos on youtube, which led me to the YourBrainOnPorn website and the PIED vids.  The realization hit me like a truck.  I haven't had a "Eureka" moment like that ever!

I first started reading porn she I was about 11 or 12.  I found some of his mags and books hidden in his room and was hooked instantly.  I think the way you first discover orgasm and how to masturbate imprints you for the rest of your life.  At least it did me, as my sexual world revolved around porn until two days ago. 

I never had any erection issues until I got married.  I didn't know it at the time, but what I was experiencing was the normal "Coolidge Effect" referred to in the vids.  I needed a bigger dopamine boost to spark my interest and my erections.  Porn was always there for me and I never had issues getting hard with porn.

It was during my marriage that the internet came of age, and with it some really bizarre forms of porn.  You name it, I have seen it.  Naturally, "vanilla" sex with my wife wasn't cutting it anymore.  Our marriage ended in a divorce and I blamed it on her attractiveness and weight gain, but I now realize it was my addiction and obsession to to and with porn.

I realize also that for years, my psychological state has been one of severe depression characterized by complete lethargy regarding anything but porn.  My whole life revolved around porn to the extent to where I would sabotage any relationships or potential relationships which would begin to develop.  Things like cleaning my apartment were put off so I wouldn't have to bring anyone over on a date.

Now, I haven't masturbated in over two weeks.  I am on vacation and with a very attractive lady who I am sharing a condo with.  We have attempted to have sex but my unit is completely flaccid.  I still feel that arousal but nothing happens downstairs.  I am frustrated to the point of jumping out a window (JK but you know what I mean). That's what led me to writing this post.

I would ask anyone to jump in and say if they have the same problem, arousal but no erections.

Thank you in advance for your input and up support.

First off crongrats on two weeks! You are doing good keep going.

We have attempted to have sex but my unit is completely flaccid.  I still feel that arousal but nothing happens downstairs...I would ask anyone to jump in and say if they have the same problem, arousal but no erections.

Well, for me personally I felt attracted and like I should be aroused, like a mental desire, but I felt absolutely nothing physically. I felt completely numb. So are you saying you felt "turned on" like physically, yet you could not get an erection? Or you wanted to feel something but couldn't?

If you can easily get an erection to porn but can't without I would stick to the reboot. Be patient as two weeks usually isn't enough time.

Close the window.. keep posting here. Stay strong. You can do this.

Welcome to the Nation my man. Hope the best for you

Yeah, I can still get a very firm erection to porn.  This time, we tried a few times, I got one fairly firm erection, but it was gone before I was able to enter.  I am on vacation in the Philippines, and am with a great girl who I am very attracted to normally. 

I was curious as to how your confidence or lack of it due to inability to attain an erection also added to the mix of frustration.  I have a pretty significant fear of failure which also led me back to porn.  All of this had pretty much made me a hermit for a long time.
