Can’t seem to get an erection and maintain it

Hi all, I just joined Mojo today and really hoping it can help me. About a month ago, my gf and I tried having sex and as soon as I went to penetrate I lost my erection. We were both devastated as she felt she was unattractive to me and I felt so much shame and embarrassment. I heavily used porn for over a decade at that point and I’ve made the decision to quit porn about 3 weeks ago. We tried having sex Monday morning and I just couldn’t stay hard again. Weird thing is that I was super horny Sunday night and immediately after waking up on Monday. This is really doing some damage to our relationship and I’ve been consumed with anxiety since the incident on Monday which I think has only made things worse. Hoping that Mojo can help me get back on track.

Same story here.
Except new gf 4 months.

Had my Ed issue for years and turned to porn.
Enter new gf. I was open and honest about Ed and she’s been receptive, understanding and encouraging!
I’m working the app, doing the exercises and I see a change in my erections. I quit porn and solo mostly. I did realize I’m way too used to my own grip…

The best thing to do here is communicate with your partner. Let her know what’s going on as far as quitting porn I would cut back but not fully cut it out just yet I was reading something that said to lean off it not fully cut it out cold turkey

Quite encouraging to think that these are just habits and you can “unlearn” to be accustomed to your own grip. Laying off the porn and even the masturbation for sustained periods seems an obvious first step here!

Hi asp, how did your own grip contribute to ED?
