Is Performance anxiety and porn / masturbation linked?

hey, I have been with my gf for 3 years and I got always issues staying hard… last month successfully I could had sex with her and lasted a lot even with the condom which was the hardest part to me, but a couple weeks ago unfortunately I got anxious again… I don’t understand what is the real issue, is it porn? masturbating? porn? mood? my head? I need some light honestly

porn and ur head. porn desensitizes ur body and it takes time to adjust to the real thing.

For me personally, porn is safe because a screen can’t judge me and theres no pressure but a person can. Porn isn’t inherently bad but you could have a relationship with it that’s affecting your ability to get hard.

Stop watching it, not only is it terrible for your mental health it’s also very damaging to most relationships. Also keep in mind that most of the woman you see there are drugged or sex trafficking victims. The average life expectation of a porn actress is proud 30 y/o or 6 to 8 years after starting doing it.
I’ve been there and for the past 3 years I haven’t touched it both for my mental health as well as the fact that I won’t support rapists and sex trafficking as that what is happening as you watch it (creating more demand)
Life is 1000 times better, sex is 1000 Times better.

Go and do your Research about the consequences of porn and what is really happening behind the scenes and that should be enough for you to stop watching it.

I know I’m just a stranger to you but I really hope you will stop it and start to enjoy life to the fullest instead of hiding from it and masturbating to these poor woman who have to go trough that horror.

Wow!
Very well said.
I never thought of it with porn not judging you!!!
I’m Pretty sure my PED issue started years ago with body image issues during sex in the daytime…
