My libido was consistently high before i stopped masturbating and watching porn

A couple months ago I decided to stop watching porn and quit masturbating. I had been watching porn for years before without being able to stop but when I did stop this time it felt super easy and I didn’t feel like I needed it.
However now I find my sex drive to be lower than what it was when I would consistently watch porn and masturbate and I feel like that is affecting my erection issues during sex. I’ve had good sexual encounters but I’ll still go limp sometimes.
I try to masturbate to my imagination but I don’t get fully hard if at all so I don’t know if I have a physiological issue or if it’s purely psychological, any tips or help?

You’ve basically conditioned your brain to only react to porn so now that you’ve stopped your brain isn’t as stimulated thus your libido dropped. Search up “Flatline”

"Flatline’. All I got was the Justin Bieber song and the medical term?

Have you tried listening to Erotic stories? I found some Podcasts that are really good and get me going. The stories on here weren’t doing anything for me.
I used to watch porn to get me in the mood but haven’t watched for weeks now and have found the ideas in this program are helpful.

The apps content on Porn is really good. I would say “Diet” your porn out. Flat lining is normal too

I sometimes find that I need porn and cannot just imagine things. Rather than quit completely, use it as an assistive tool once in a while. Set aside time to enjoy a video or two here and there. Sometimes we do need to have another input rather than our brain. Enjoy the experience and use it as a part of a balanced self routine.
