I’m addicted. I view porn daily. I masturbate. It’s affecting my marriage. I find myself unable to perform with my wife. I try to quit but it’s such an addiction. Please help
I am in the same boat. I researched PIED and downloaded the QUITTR app to help me stay off porn. I tired quitting before with no success, but I am on day 5 already with QUITTR.
There is no good scientific evidence that masturbation and even porn automatically causes ED and there is no guarantee that it does go away when you stop porn or masturbation. That being said, I believe that drastically reducing porn consumption has greatly helped my ED and I do recommend it. However, I recommend to continue masturbating at least a few times a week. When you get the urge to watch porn, try masturbating without it, you can also use the erotic audio on this app for that. That makes it much easier.

I had the same problem but years back I was a practicing alcoholic and went to AA meetings. One thing that they preached was to “don’t drink today” I was smart enough to realize tomorrow would be the same thing but even one day under my belt was a win and let’s see what tomorrow brings. I was lucky and never drank again. I just concentrated on the day and if I drank tomorrow that was ok but each day I distracted myself or just went to bed early, stayed away from things I would do when I was drinking. For porn I have practiced the same thing I think it has been 6 weeks now and the urge to watch it is very diminished and when I think about it, I plan to exercise or do something away from the computer or my phone and make it through the day. It seems to work for me. Hope this helps.

Do you recommend saving it for your partner instead?
Of course! Ideally, you should orgasm only with your partner, but that requires having sex multiple times a week and that requires a partner and even then, it does not always happen, since your partner might have lower libido.
lol. Funny you mention the erotic audio…..
I listened to part of one the other night through my phone.
Today I go to the grocery store and I put an ear bud in for music….,
I hear a woman sloppily sucking a D and describing it in graphic detail. lol. I let it play and had a big grin the whole time!!
Mine wasn’t so much porn but more showing off on cam for other. I like to flaunt what I have but with my partner I rarely can do it. I have cut it out completely and feeling more confident. Just staying patient and consistent
Try Easy Peasy. I wanked over porn several times a week. It was beginning to get me down, particularly as I couldn’t get hard with my GF. I discovered Easy Peasy and stuck to it. It’s a guide on how to wean yourself off porn. I haven’t even looked at porn for about 6 months now and feel so much better mentally. I’m fucking my GF regularly and stay hard, whereas before, even Viagra was hit and miss. I’m not saying it’s a ‘cure all’, but the programme absolutely worked for me.
