I was watching some intense porn, and a lot of it. I thought it would be hard to quit but it hasn’t. More like walking out of a fog. Once I deleted it all I just didn’t want it anymore.
Problem is I haven’t had much of an erection since then. A couple times maybe. I feel aroused occasionally, but even alone it’s like nothing.
I masturbated yesterday for the first time in over a week but I was only maybe 70% hard. Morning wood is weak too.
I’m healthy and testosterone is over 800.
Hi there, I think you will need to be a little patient. It can sometimes feel like a rewiring of arousal pathways. Try and relax, get back into your body. Follow the Mojo app and be kind to yourself, your desire and confidence will come back! : )
I am having a similar experience but not with porn. I was having sex almost daily. I find my wife incredibly attractive and she knows exactly how to use her goods. However, just 2 weeks ago, I suddenly lost all desire to have sex. The cravings just stopped. We’ve tried about 5 times since then and only twice was I able to get hard enough for penetration. I was hard during other moments in foreplay, but I just have this mental block and questioning myself. Like, “am I having too much sex?” “How can I still be satisfying her?” Etc.
I feel the exact same. I’m glad to not be the only one who feels this way and I’ve looking for answers to see what could help me.
From my understanding after quitting porn you should also quit masturbation. B/c you should treat it as an addiction. Every time you feel the need to watch porn or masturbate just go do something productive, spend time with gf, friends, play sports, read, etc.
I would also avoid movies with explicit sex scenes or nudity.
Just think about it as rewiring your brain to be wired to make erection possible just by thinking about.
So no porn, no masturbation, focus on being productive, and human interaction/connection. Give it 3-6 months and thank me later.
I think we just need to wait it out bro. I’m also doing affirmations and meditations. I know I’ll get there but it’ll take effort and rewiring.
Way easier said than done…
Tho I agree. I’m in the middle of the same as OP. It’s tough. I have used the audio stories here with visions of my gf and it was amazing.
It’s called depression (I think, I’m not a professional and I’m going on very little detail)
Try aerobic exercise. Also leave the house, walk around aimlessly in busy areas. Strike up a conversation with a random old man or store clerk. Be more in nature, go for a hike or lay on the grass in a park.
Aerobic exercise is the most important though, it literally gets the blood flowing.
It takes time. Try just not doing anything for a while, maybe even a month. Youll reset so to speak
Can you share any tips on quitting porn? I believe this is my number 1 reason for my ED, and I want to quit but can’t. What worked for you?
This has worked for you?
It seemed harder than it is.
I’ve 99% quit porn and 90% solo. Still get the itch and I’ve started listening to the erotic audio stories here while imagining it’s me and the gf.
Along with a lot of lessons here I’m starting to have some success with her!!
It’s possible!!
You have to change how you think about it. Internalize that the pain is causing is greater than the value you get from it.
