ED induced through use of porn

[arknor]

The problem is, once you start watching the freaky stuff, it's going to become accepted as "normal" and you're going to have to look damned hard to find a gf that will let you do that to her.

you could say the same thing about any sexual position it doesn't mean you suddenly going to hate sex and not want it any more.
Lots of people have long term marriages with a happy sex life without resorting to building a pleasure dungeon or freaky sex

Didn't read lol huh?
Fapping is healthy and shouldn't be stopped (linked to better prostate health) and if little jonny doesn't want to play then it's either stress or poor health

I read. I used the term pumping iron as a synonym for going to the gym. I'm not going to deny that keeping fit isn't good for you. It obviously is. It it isn't a cure for erectile dysfunction.

To say masterbating is healthy is to oversimplify things. It can be but it can cause problems too (porn addiction being one of them) and saying ED is only caused by stress or poor health is a massive generalisation. And wrong.

It actually is.

No it isn't.

BDSM. Sex is boring without it. *wanders off to clean his dungeon*

I watch porn maybe twice a day. Mostly just the 1, thankfully. All my relationships have been with girls that enjoy watching it every now and then at the same time. Watch a girl do her 'thing', it's a big turn on.

Anyway, to the point. This 'male' talk is very awkward and can be very embarrassing. Dude. Thanks.

You have probably made a few people think about what they are doing. And for that, whilst it hasn't effected me, it has enlightened me that yes, maybe I watch too much in my current single life. I have a few girls I see, which mixes things up. But I still watch too much porn.

I think I'm going to try the 2 months without porn. Still have sex though haha.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree (your wrong by the way )

masterbating doesn't cause porn addiction, and i'm willing to bet that a vast majority of men that have ED put down the junk food and go to the gym it'll sort itself out.

Victorian hang ups. Talking about sex and sexual problems shouldn't be taboo. Nor should it be as embarrassing as some people find it.

I think I'm more qualified on pyschology than you. So on that grounds you are wrong.

You made a Cartè Blanche statement that masterbating isn't bad. That's simply wrong. If you have a porn addiction for example and are compelled to masterbate then obviously it isn't good for you. That's just one example. Now in a normal, functional sexual relationship (partnered or single) then masterbating is fine and healthy.

Funnily enough it's like keeping fit. Fine under normal circumstances but can be a problem (people get addicted, for example) and actually overdoing keeping fit can cause erectile dysfunction.

But, like you say, we have to agree to disagree. You can carry on living in your fantasy world where working out cures impotence and than self relief can be nothing but healthy.

Of course there are morons out there that have an addictive personality and do everything to the extreme. But come on! That's a tiny minority compared to the general population.

I take it from what you've said you're a psychologist? Then you'd have a skewed view as you'd see nothing but people with problems

It's a far far better generalization then the OP where he thinks that masturbating is all bad and causes ED. Which is clearly not the case. I'm more right then you are!

Only morons get addicted? Really. Wow. Got any other insights?

nothing is more sexual than opening up a new gfx card, the smell of the package, running ones fingers across the heatsinks and fans. lovely.

Not even sex?

well i imagine the cooling fins would sting something fierce

Then I would definitely get a second opinion. Morning erections are a physical response to what your body does during REM sleep. Not getting them indicates a physical inability to achieve erection not a psychological one related to porn.

Have you ever had your hormone levels tested?

Erections are a result of dopamine stimulating the hipothalamus. If he isn't producing as dopamine as much or as easily, and the hypothalamus is less sensitive to dopamine, then actually it makes sense.

You're psuedoscience-guessing against a trained medical professional who diagnosed his condition.

Ever since you made this thread, it has been on my mind on and off, and what turning to a fantasy reality can actually do to your life.

I wouldn't really consider myself an addict, but what I noticed was that I would turn to it a lot of the time when I felt frustrated or angry, or something I wasn't happy with. My marriage has been on the rocks for around 3 years and we hardly had sex and I reverted a lot to all my hobbies and things like that to isolate myself from all the ******** we were going through.

After a period of separation we are now back together sexually, and I am having trouble keeping an erection. Online, no issue... for a few minutes obviously. I now strongly believe that my actions of turning to this has caused this, and I was escaping my issues rather than dealing with them. I also noticed myself getting moody, which is kinda weird.. but it happens.

My wife is extremely supportive, and I will be stopping looking at it, and getting help. I am positive that in time I will be fine again. I strongly believe that it damages your mental state of mind, and your sex drive. I would assume that most guys these days look at it, and I still find it incredibly brave of the OP.

I have had a lot of hard lessons lately, mostly involving me admitting the person that I am. This is just one of them.

That's right gents, it's the terror-term; Erectile Dysfunction

A large part of me wonders why the hell i'm writing this post

Because your sexual taboo is public humiliation, you wouldn't have ED if you embraced it.

If you watch midget porn can you watch twice as much as regular porn without any symptoms?

I don't think this happens if you watch porn with your GF/wife.

 

[WantoN]

This must have been very tough, kudos to you for sharing.

I can totally see how this could happen if people went too far, and without even realising I'd imagine.
