There is too much of a regretful feeling after watching porn for it to be a good thing

That porn is the reason that I am climaxing so quickly
The fact that porn impacts my ability to get an erection
Learning that it’s normal for you to get an erection faster when watching porn was really interesting to me. It also makes sense that porn isn’t causing my sexual anxiety, but that I have sexual anxiety in real life scenarios that isn’t there with porn and that’s why it feels different. It also really helped me to hear that it isn’t making me into more extreme things, but that it is kind of a healthy way to fictionally explore those things.

Watching porn gets you harder quicker bc it stimulates those neural pathways more. Makes sense with how vivid the colors and clarity are. Real life isn’t like that, so it just takes more time to activate those pathways

Porn is desensitizing me
For me it wasn’t porn, it was what specific sections of the internet or messages my mind was receiving from said porn. I was mirroring back my own inadequacies, I was scared and I didn’t feel like enough and living that out in porn just reinforced and associated that belief with sex. The last time I had a sexual encounter with someone I managed to get over that fear and just have fun and everything turned around even after many times of trying with anxiety

I stopped watching porn and masturbating for three months last year, and I still got ED. This showed me that porn alone was not the only culprit, and the issues ran deeper than that. My last sexual encounter was fantastic, with everything working as it should and I have been watching porn and masturbating occasionally. For the first time in a very long time it actually went really well (it’s worth mentioning I took viagra, but even that didn’t help in previous experiences) I’ve had ED for about 10 years. My theory is, do what feels good, but be mindful and don’t kill your brain with shame. I think that’s the real kicker, our relationship and views of ourselves has more of an impact. Dropping the pressure, shame and dealing with my inner critic has made a difference.

I have become so desensitised that even watching porn doesnt get me hard now. Moved to AI girlfriends recently but that has proved a most unsatistactory substitute.
Porn is the reason I climax too quickly during intercourse with my partner but it’s actually the anxiety and not being in the moment
When I cut porn out I get more night time erections but it doesn’t help my ED

That is has nothing to do with the desensitizing
I believe porn has desensitized me and increased performance anxiety. I know I have a porn addiction. Whenever I go a period of not watching porn I desire sex more which I believe helps me stay “aggressive “ in my pursuit to cum when I’m with a partner. When I watch too porn I tend to have apathy. For me I feel porn kills my mojo but I can’t stop watching it completely smh

I have been addicted to porn for years and have used it as a coping mechanism for bad emotions. Same with food. I have tried my best to replace those habits with meditation and exercise and I feel much better. Staying consistent and not falling off the horse is the hardest part. I was doing really well last year with lots of exercise and limited porn use. This winter has been a rough time and I think that has caused the problem

I used it help stimulate and get an erection so that I would be able to perform. Now it’s like after I pleasure my partner I need the porn to finish
Porn use is a big reason I struggle to maintain an erection / orgasm with a partner. I find myself struggling to stay in the moment with her and I’m hoping mojo will help me to be present during sex

Porn aside I think there is the concept of “use it or lose it”. It’s been several years since I’ve had meaningful sex. I fear that it may take a lot of time to turn the corner
