Wellness Update #1 - Seeking Guidance
Hi,
I am less than 35, and due to issues in marriage; I opted in for porn and self gratification.
However, the itch or say the longing has never let me get out of thoughts to be with someone. So, after a lot of searches, found this and finally had sex in Feb this year.
While I did not get hard initially, the lady with whom I was took things in control and once I was in, there was no questioning of coming down. So, I thought everything is normal.
But, this porn and masturbation thing continued and finally I am kind of believing that porn and self gratification has ruined my ability to become harder.
While viagra or something might be a quick resort, I don't want to go that route atleast for now and give others a try. So,
Took up a nofap challenge and started eating healthy. Started with the breakfast today. And I am sure I will continue. Whenever there is a mental block about watching the sexy moves or anything, I get to the cold showers.
A little bit of excercise is what I would add soon.
Apart from this is there anything else I should be doing?
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
MM.
Porn Induced ED is so true. I am facing and recovering from it.
[QUOTE=EcstasyHyd;2582261]This used to be me. It was horrible for me. It's porn plus prone masturbation for me. It was hard for me to switch from prone to hand. Almost a year. I couldn't stop porn. I resorted to viagra. This will work but I was worried about it's side effects. I still use it. I feel it's better to use it than having mental breakdown.
I still watch porn but only reluctant porn. You can find few videos in czechcasting and woodmancasting where the girl is reluctant at the start and gives in after sometime. It's not completely hardcore so it also worked for me. This is the only porn I watch now. Porn induced ED is real.[/QUOTE]I am facing this from 4 years. I used to get erections like a rock stone and used to make me feel like hero and too much over confident. Been to masturbation while watching porn as well. 4 years back I did heavy masturbation like I did it even Jhonny is not waking up. It gave me too much pain to my jhonny as well as back. From that day I am a different person (like I stopped talking with women even with anyone and lost confidence on me too much) and my jhonny didn't wake up for three or four months. My back is hurting like anything and it is holding me and not making me to walk properly, it's like when you want to walk but somebody is pulling you back. At the same time I am not earning and I can't tell this at home. Luckily I got job. I started earning money first thing I did is. I went to doctor (urologist) and I told about the entire incident with lot of tears and my porn and masturbation habits. He heard patiently and he is a good doctor. That's the first time I heard and understood about ED. He gave medicine (Tadalafil) along with some other medicines. Within one day Jhonny wake up and morning woods are coming naturally. I am happy and reported to him. He is happy and he told one bad suggestion that watching porn and doing masturbation is ok. Even though I felt something odd. I trusted him too much. Then in the mean time I went to orthopedic and told my symptoms about my back pain but not about the incident as my ED doctor told If there is something wrong with jhonny it won't wakeup for these medicines too. He (orthopedic) saw the symptoms and told nothing much bad happened. He suggested physiotherapy and within one week I came out of ED as well as a great relief from back pain. No medications at all. I got my confidence back again. I am doing well in career (which I did with too much hard work) . Suddenly one day I felt too much sexual urge from that day I started watching porn and masturbation again after 8 months as I got assurance from ED doctor. Things are happening quite good till some months. After that problems started, suddenly I am not getting morning woods and even my erection strength is becoming less. If I watch porn it is coming ok but not that stronger. So I went to ED doctor again he told it is natural for every man it will happen like that only. He told I am feeling stress and anxiety. I do agree on that because I will do lot of work in office and I really don't follow the timings at all. If I sit on work means I have to complete that and I am quite a workaholic too. Like this every time I get this ED problem I will go to him he will repeat the medicine it will be ok again I will start porn to make me feel good and to get a feel that nothing wrong is happening. But this year I took resolution and followed properly all the guides about porn addiction and want to quit from it at any cost. I am trying and tried so hard as I want to marry properly and get involved in sex with real partner properly. So I stopped watching porn and masturbation from almost two months. Really I am feeling very good that I quit porn and doing masturbation by watching porn. When I am edging also I am not concentrating / remembering the images / videos which I used to watch on screen. I am remembering all the touches (just touches) with women happened accidentally in my life and how they made me arose like that.
So to check myself with proper women before marriage as I don't have GF's.
1st step: I have tested myself with Roja (forget about looks I just need cooperation and little bit love) whether I am getting erections properly with women or not. This I passed. Even though I didn't get strong erection I am ok with that erection that too with touches of purely from person not from any porn / nude images / videos.
2nd step: I want to check myself sexually with someone who can cooperate (any MILF or girl) and looks good. So that I have some confidence that I can happily marry and satisfy a woman properly.
I got lot of spa contacts from kind souls. But I tried for Siri (MILF from P. Nagar) as I read FR's about her more positive. I got the number but the guy who shared me didn't give me any reference. So when I am calling her I am not getting any response from her properly. I am still understanding this group and people as we can't take anything for granted maybe they have their own problems. Only worry is I will leave Hyderabad within this week after that I don't get any chance to monger. I can't go to bglr as well due to work from home restrictions are there still.
So, Porn Induced ED is true and recovering from it also can be possible and I am experiencing it. I know that people can judge me (may not believe me too) as much as they can, but even though I feel that I didn't recover properly but I can assure that recovering is possible (it is making me believe) by stopping porn and doing masturbation by watching porn. You will feel so much life around you. You will do more work and gets more focus.
PIED. The famous lady doctor
[QUOTE=MongerMama;2582209]I said my story on how I have not had sex for long, and my addiction to porn and masturbation. And that followed with a conversation, with her lying by my side and that felt good. That closeness and conversation was worth it, atleast for me. Each to his own brother!
Cheers. Stay safe and stay happy![/QUOTE]I think I have been suffering from PIED too. Think why. I am single, no GF. Went out with a girl almost 2 years back and I was literally done in 30 secs after that johnny failed to get up after multiple attempts. Felt so embarrassed and low of confidence that I haven't been with anyone since then. I have tried my best to avoid porn but after a few days, I always succumb to the guilty pleasure.
I have been contemplating on contacting the famous lady doc, not because of any fetish of getting checked by a woman but because I feel more comfortable talking about my feelings with a woman than a man. However, her fee is way too high compared to other doctors.
Anyone here consulted her and / or can share feedback about her? Is she really worth the humongous fee?
I am open to suggestions for other doctors also.
PM is not active.
Appreciate help from seniors and other mongers!!
Same here but not married
[QUOTE=Rathinirvedam;2582538]I am in same boat, I had some interest in sex when I married, before that I was a virgin. The * I married was not interested in sex even in the first 2 months of marriage, I got used to watching soft porn on YT and jerking off, it was there before marriage as well but for some reason watching after marriage had an impact on my brain, maybe its due to the way how we get pleasure not from sex but from watching something else. Now I hardly get erect in sex, one of my friend thought it was anxiety and suggest brute force 50 MG, I took this and I can perform with wife. Brute force doesn't arouse but with little arousal it can keep you erect. This worked out of me for some quite time until wifey caught me one day and did Randi rona in front of in-laws. Now I had to justify before them I don't have a problem. Being in India means they thought I had a problem and tortured, but these tabs worked out and she got pregnant. So all good for now.
But I tried going to escorts, I got aroused and erect as soon as I saw but when it came to the deed little Johnny goes limp, unless again I take brute force.[/QUOTE]My dick went limp multiple times with WGs. This happened just before the lockdown, my dick gets hard but when I start entering her hole, everything goes limp like what I heck. It is still a huge mental issue and I realized my grip was way too tight during masturbation.
I have stopped watching porn from that day onwards and masturbation frequency is reduced to once every 7-8 days. Nowadays I don't even let my hands get near my dick except during pee time.
