Through research, talking with family, my fiancé, etc I have come to the conclusion that my ED is caused mainly by porn and performance anxiety. Now I am not necessarily addicted to porn but I would view it weekly as my fiancé would encourage as well it to aid my sex drive. However, I’ve realized that the dopamine rush I get with porn has desensitized my brain to the actual thing which in turn leads to performance anxiety. I am completely cutting out porn (2 weeks now) which has not been too difficult. I am talking with a urologist this week as well as I have had some underlying health issues that I’ve dealt with but I am healthy and fit. Additionally, I am talking with a therapist around my anxiety. Has anyone else dealt with porn induced ED? How long should I expect to reset? I am confident I can completely cut porn out forever it’s just a matter of building confidence in the bedroom and removing the anxiety around performance. Will report back with updates
