Please tell me why how and WHY is it important to quit watching porn. That said. Is it also important to stop masturbating as well?
I ‘ve had problems getting hard
Because porn is fake and it creates unrealistic expectations for what sex is. Its time consuming and distorts your perception of the real world and fries your dopamine receptors

Ok. The hard truth is: NO ONE KNOWS. Science is inconclusive. There are probably healthy ways to use porn and masturbation and also unhealthy ways.
When I was younger, I used to watch tons of porn and masturbate frequently and still have amazing sex in the same time period. I have been married for 10 years and for the last few years I have had issues with ED and avoiding sex. I think I have been using porn and masturbation as my main method of sexual release where I should have looked more towards my marriage. This has probably created a negative feedback loop which has worsened the ED. I now try to control my porn and masturbation habits and I feel like it has helped. But I have still have no idea what the “right” amount is, to be honest.
Also, this is never talked about, I think the porn and fantasies that you do masturbate to also matter a lot. Don’t indulge in anything that makes you feel bad afterwards or that is not easily “carried over” to real life sex.
