I am 26 years old I haven't had sex for about two years. In that time I have been watching a lot of porn and masturbation sometimes several times a day to it. A couple months ago I tried to have sex with a girl and couldn't get it up. Then the same thing happened again. In the past I have always been able to get it up, even when I was black out drunk. I am freaked out now and I want to know if this is reversible. Anybody had similar problem with successful outcome?
My best guess is that since it has been awhile for you since you have had sex that it is performance anxiety. It is probably because you haven't had sex in awhile. Is this girl someone that you trust or was it a random hookup? Depending on the situation, you may have gotten so nervous that you are having issues. Can you still get an erection when looking at porn, or have you been unable to have one? If it's the former, then it's definitely psychological. Keep us posted.
Good day.
Generally, people do believe that too much masturbation can lead to erectile dysfunction. But, if you ask me, I believe that this usually happens because of the physical causes. For example, if you are taking too much of alcohol or tobacco, it can be the cause. High and low blood pressure also can be the cause. High cholesterol, obesity, diabetes as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be because of too many porn movies. Anyway, I would suggest you visit your doctor. Or physiologist. He can tell you a lot about this, about your current conditions. I am sure that he can recommend some natural treatment for erectile dysfunction in this case.
Sir, what can I do about my issue? I can get erections anytime when I am watching porns when I masturbate - I still don't have a problem with it.
I am 17 years old and I masturbate twice a day. I think that I am about to become addicted of masturbation.
I have tried to stop, but I can't. So, I am in a big problem here sir.
I want to know will this cause some problems? Can masturbation cause erectile dysfunction for example, will I have some issues with it in my future sex life?
I want to stop, I am trying but I can't.
It very well could be porn induced ED. It seems to be becoming more popular, especially in young males. If you masturbate multiple times per day to pornography for a period of two years, it is possible to desensitize your brain to a "normal" sexual situation, which can result in either not obtaining an erection or not sustaining an erection.
Also, you may be experiencing a lack of stimuli while watching the same pornography. I believe this is where the problem begins. The viewer finds other "more extreme" forms of pornography to satisfy himself. Typically, this doesn't happen through normal sex with your partner because you are not having sex with her multiple times a day, and she is only able to be herself... and it is unlikely she would be able to constantly out-perform herself to more extreme sex acts. However, with internet porn so readily available, the viewer can switch from mild, to extreme, to very extreme all in one masturbating session that results in a single ejaculation.
This behavior is generally considered porn addiction, but there may be no actual addiction involved. The viewer may simply not realize it is harmful before the harm is done. And that viewer can likely reverse the damage by staying away from porn altogether. If you are one of those that can do without the porn, then I would suggest laying off of it, forever if possible. You should also limit your masturbation. My best suggestion would be to only engage in soft masturbation, where not only the fantasies are light, but also lighten the physical stimulation your penis receives. If that is not enough to make you reach orgasm, I suggest a serious cutback of self pleasure until you are able to do so.
Anyway, I hope at least some of this helps.

As far as I know, there are no studies that show that masturbation or porn addiction can cause ED but I agree with the previous poster: don't overdo it. Moderation is the key to a happy life and that includes sex, too. If your erection problems persist for more than three months, go see a urologist.
I have a problem.
I usually do the porn thing online and masturbate to it nightly. Last night I was with someone that I REALLY wanted and I was able to get a semi-erection. But it only lasted a few seconds. I don't know if it was certain positioning or if I need to seriously lay off the masturbating for awhile. I was very disappointed in myself and she thinks that I'm not into her and now it's causing stress. I know for a fact that it's not her, because I want her all the time. I think I may be addicted to masturbation. I also find myself not having "morning wood."
This isn't the first time this has happened and with different girls, but not frequent partner changes.
My question is that if I do not masturbate or look at porn for a few days, will this rectify my situation? I am very self conscious now and seriously need Expert advice.

Few days are not enough, in my experience few months (at least one) without involved in porno should help you to get an erection during sex with your partner after that, be patience. See a doctor for advice if problem doesn't solved in the future.
i have a same problem, too much porn, too much masturbation, sleep deprivation, too much coffee, little pot, too much mental work stress and physical tiredness and living in one of the most polluted cities in the world., i am trying to stay off porn, masturbation, coffee for a month, get good sleep, he he i cant leave pot though(i have too much fun with it). but i think cleansing my system should do. any advices are also welcome.
I think I have porn induced Erectile Dysfunction. I have been masturbating several times a day since I was about 8 years old. I am almost 32 now! I don't stay hard very long anymore with girls. It is very rare that my penis gets hard by itself anymore. I have to be masturbating or in control of the sex to keep it hard. It is very frustrating and I'm scared! I know it is from my porn addiction. It has never been a problem until just the last couple of years. I have tried to not watch porn but I constantly find myself surfing it online. I am going to try seriously to lay off the porn thou. I have to. If I don't I think I may cause permanent damage if I haven't already. I miss being young. I have quit smoking also to combat this problem. I have heard that smoking can damage your vessels and cause poor blood flow. Good luck everyone!
Sometimes after long periods of no sex and regular masturbation you can become accustomed to stimulating yourself to the point of finding it hard for someone else to stimulate you because you've created a routine of when/where/how/why you achieve orgasm (and who you've been watching in porn). There is such a thing as Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome (TMS) - this is when men masturbate by lying down on a surface, e.g. a matress or pillow, and thrust or rub against it. This puts excessive force on the base of the penis and causes sensations that aren't easily replicated by normal sex/masturbation - this can mean you don't get off with sexual partners if you've been doing it for a while, regularly. Obviously, I don't know if you've been doing this, but it's just a possiblilty if you have.
There's also the possibility that you've been watching certain types of porn and conditioned yourself to find them, and maybe only them, stimulating - e.g. porn involving things that don't generally happen on a one-to-one basis normally. I think this is unlikely though.
Most likely is that because it's been a while, you are anxious about performing. You might not necessarily think you're worried about it, but it may be in the back of you're mind. If possible, just try to relax as much as you can and include plenty of foreplay leading up to sex and don't assume you're expected to perform extraordinarily. Don't force yourself to think your sexual partner has OTT sexual expectations of your performance. Just try to relax and enjoy yourself.
You could maybe try to not masturbate for a couple of days before sex - this way you'll be more turned on. Although I wouldn't recommend abstaining from masturbation for too long before sex as you may come too soon, esp if you haven't had sex for a while.

I am 31 and had the same ED problem that a lot of the previous commenters talked about. Before I had a girlfriend I masturbated and looked at porn on the internet just about everyday. I started needing to see more extreme and perverse sex acts to get turned on, I found myself spending hours just looking for new material. Then after a while it started getting harder for me to get an erection and then I couldn’t get fully hard at all. I met my girlfriend and even though I was insannly attracted and turned on by her I could not get fully hard, or perform well. She thought I might be married or it was something she was doing. Here is how I personally fixed my problem. It was really hard but I stopped looking at extreme porn and slowly got used to masturbating and fantasizing about my girlfriend. I used some Viagra knock off I ordered over the internet to get my confidence back. I only used it a few times cutting the pill in half just to help me get over the mental block I was creating in my mind. If I find myself on the computer and I get the urge to look at pornography, and my girlfriend is not around I go the bathroom and masturbate thinking of her, until I calm down. I still am fighting with wanting to look at porn I think I always will it was a part of my life for so long. But for myself personally not being overstimulated has helped me to become turned on again by sex with my girlfriend. I believe the internet creates or allows men to fantasize about anything too quickly and our then our libidos become uninterested in the people we really care about. I hope others find this usefull.
Masturbation and porn creates ED.

You dont need expert advice dude. Just cut back the jerkin and more importantly RELAX! If you stress yourself your gunna wreck yourself. You are a wild animal, remember that. Let biological instinct take over. A tip, concentrate on getting her turned on. If you do that and forget about yourself, you'll get lost and next thing you know you'll find yourself hard as a rock.
Ok, I have a similar problem, I have slept with a few girls in my lifetime, I am 23 now. I usually have no problems with my erection so to speak. but for the last three months I have been having dysfunction, sometimes alot of times I have difficulties getting it erect and sometimes I get it to go but I either lose it or have no orgasm, I can masturbate as often as I want too to porn and what not but doing it with my girlfriend is another story. I find her attractive and pleasing but I am worried something is wrong. we have been together for 3 months and it happened with my last gf occasionally but not as often and we were together for 2 years. I keep obsessing and worrying about this problem because it freaks me out. I have constant anxiety about things like "what if I can get it up cuz im gay" or "maybe my junk is broken"... please help me out with this issues and point me in the right direction to ease my mind of this overwhelming concern.
