Any tips on how to deal with plateau's or backsliding?

🍆 Erection issues
1

I started to take this issue seriously in the last 1-2 months.

Before this October, I could only orgasm with erotic stories (text) or visual porn and my hand (with a lot of grip and speed).

In October, I made some progress by using lubrication and my hand, and I was consistently able to orgasm with (with some erotic stories from Mojo in the background). Lubrication helped me realise I didn’t need a super hard grip to finish, so that’s a win.

This this month I started working with a fleshlight to replace my hand, and I simply can’t get myself hard to start out. Even with the Mojo stories, I’m at best able to get semi-erect which is OK I guess, but the moment I stop using the fleshlight, my dick just flops over.

So I’m now using my hand + erotic stories to get hard enough, and then I finish off with the fleshlight. I really want to break the reliance on textual porn and just manage to get hard with sensation + imagination alone.

Any tips on what to do in this case? Should I tough it out?

I’m pretty sure I have death grip as well as a porn addiction.
I’d all but given up porn and solo play for a couple weeks and saw a minor improvement.
I have a flesh like item that I’m going to try instead of my hand in conjunction with erotic audio.

The visual porn is more of an issue so I wouldn’t worry too much about the written stories. You might find some erotic podcasts useful. I’ve just started using them and find they turn me on better than the ones here. Your imagination plays a large part with these.
Keep working your way through the app as it’s all a work in progress.
I’ve been here 3 weeks and still have my ups and downs …literally but have noticed a difference and feel much more positive than when I started. Which was much the same position as you except with visual porn to get me hard.
