First time poster, new to app. Only on second day. So, I got divorced 6 months ago and I’ve been having a lot of anxiety around getting an erection and maintaining for sex. This comes after two failed attempts at hookups with attractive women I met through dating apps. I’m seeing my doctor on Friday to test for hormones, prostrate issues, etc. but tonight I was feeling really down and decided to just try to masturbate. Even that has been a struggle to get it up. I’ve been trying to be mindful about porn and not shame myself on it. I don’t compulsively watch, but usually when I masturbate I scroll through videos on Reddit. Nothing extreme in terms of content. Anyway, I was struggling at first to get it up when I started, but I did some breathing and just took my time. I almost came with a half erection but I slowed down and tried to feel into my body. A few start and stops and I got a really satisfying erection, harder than it’s been in months. Yes, I was by myself and looking at porn, but it felt like a success after being really down on myself and struggling to connect with my penis and even really get hard at all. Would y’all consider this a success? Idk I’m just looking for any glimmer of hope I can find at this point. Open to suggestions and ideas as well. Thanks.

Yes, a real success! You didn’t panic, you slowed things down, became mindful about what you were feeling. Mojo has some great exercises to build on this great start.
