If you are reading this, and you find yourself to have an addiction to pornography and you know its not in your favor. This is the sign to quit, cold turkey. I realized that my erectile dysfunction came from the shame and guilt of watching pornography. It was breaking me and partner up, and our sex life was spiraling down. I know how hard it can be to quit pornography, because your mind wonders to deeper and your fantasies grow like fire. To me it felt like i was chained up, i couldn’t quit and i was at a point where i just accepted it. But my relationship of 4 years was hanging by a thread because I could not perform or even get hard when it came to sex w my girlfriend. She kept telling me sex isn’t important to her that she can be in this relationship w out it. But i knew deep down inside this was not goinh to last any longer w out sex. Sex is so important, if you have a partner, it is important to have sex. Its a way of connecting with each other, the heart, mind, and soul connects. And pornography was detaching and distancing myself from her. It took over 100+ to try and quit. But I recently found myself reaching to God because i could not quit by myself, im not a so religious person but calling help to a higher power, God, has removed all cravings and thoughts of pornography. My addiction was so bad, my fantasies has grown so much that every woman i would see out in about i would fantasize ab them on the spot. I felt like a pervert. But ever since calling out to God for mercy and for guidance, i am now 3 months clean from pornography snd i have built this strength of stop looking at other women, other than my own woman, in lust. You can also stop watching porn, its not impossible because i know thats how it feels when you want to. Call upon and set your heart and mind w your spirit. And maybe talk with it w your partner or someone. Because addiction only grows bigger in the darkness, like mold. You got it, you can overcome it, dont give up.
How long after quitting porn did you find yourself getting erect without it?
Did you get anxiety when you had to perform?
Literally about a week and a half after. I had went on a trip with my girlfriend to Los Angeles, and we had spent a full day just enjoying eachother and we both had agreed on just taking a break from sex since the last times, back to back to back, i was not able to get hard or stay hard to climax her or myself. It was just disappointing and we decided to take a break from sex since it would always lead to disappointment. And i had opened up to her ab my porn addiction and masterbating. And at the end of the day, not planning on having sex, even tho we were in a hotel room, after i showered my sex drive shot out the roof and i could not resist her. My sex drive was non existent before because of how much i would masterbate to porn that sex wasnt so much on my mind. But we had great sex that night, and rhat night felt like an accomplishment and i was proud that i had gone almost 2 weeks with out pornography or masterbating. And now, knowing the fact that i was able to get over that huge lump in my sex life, everytime we have sex i fuck with more confidence because i know that what i was doing shamefully is no longer part of my life.
