Masturbation and Anxious Feelings

🕹️ Porn and masturbation
1

Initially used porn and masturbation when ED first hit. Then weaned off both porn and masturbation to mixed effects. Trying to ease masturbation back into my life without porn, using my imagination, but struggling with feelings of anxiety. Mainly due to feeling anxious that if I masturbate, that’ll prevent me from getting it up with my partner. Additionally feeling guilt of masturbating and ejaculating without my partner because it might then not get up when I’m with her.

Any advice on how to stop feeling these anxious thoughts/how to deal with this ED problem/general future advice? Appreciate it :slight_smile:

Echoing this same dilemma. Had a situation where I masturbated because I thought sex wasn’t on the table, and then out of the blue my wife propositioned me. If course I wasn’t ready to go, and that worry has stuck with me. It does get in the way of enjoying masturbation as much. Physically though, I think you can bounce back after an hour. It’s not like it will wipe you out for the whole day.
