I’ve had trouble of even gaining an erection for sex. After years of porn, and masturbation I’m not accustomed to getting very much aroused for sex. It’s terrible feeling because I want to but just can’t
I felt that way a couple times. I avoided sex to avoid embarrassment of not being able to get it up with my wife and that sent me to quick solo with porn sessions.
We divorced.
New gf - I was scared to get naked with a new woman after 30 yrs with 1…. Trust yourself. Be open and honest with your partner! Before you get nekkid. If she’s worth it, she’ll understand and be willing to help.
So true. The woman plays a very important role. If she had issues with sex she would expect you to understand. The more we talk about ED the more it becomes normal and not something to be embarrassed about.
Give up the porn and the masturbation. I was in the same boat. A dead marriage, divorced now, but spent a couple of decades and hours a day watching porn and masturbating. I’ve not watched porn for almost 2 months now, and it is finally starting to fade from my memories, and the “habit” has been broken. The woman I’ve been dating now for 2 months, I was finally able to have penetrative sex with her for the first time last night after many failed attempts. It had been 10 days since I masturbated. I’ve been very open with her, and she’s been very supportive, which has been a tremendous help. I’m about 2 weeks into MOJO, and it is pointing me in the right direction. The AI is beneficial and encouraging. Practicing some of the techniques outlined in the videos has also been helpful. Good luck. Make some life changes, and things will improve. If you slip up, don’t beat yourself up, get over it, and get back on track.
