I masturbate about once a day to porn but I am worried that this has caused me erectile dysfunction (it has been this way for four years). I have read online that if you abstain frfom masturbation to porn your erections will start to return. The longest I have managed is nine days before returning to daily masturbation. I have currently gone four days without masturbation.

Earlier today I managed to get a decent erection through sexual thoughts. However, I also noticed that my penis had a slight curve at the tip (I would say of about ten degrees). I also don't think that the girth of my penis is small compared to other men. I am really desperate for help.

I would agree with you that you have porn induced Ed.... Curves and stuff are normal means that one of your chambers is pumping more blood than the other or it's curving to how you masturbate... But yes you probably need to reboot your brain and abstain from any stimulation for awhile... Your age when you started porn and how long you have had Ed play a big part in how long your brain needs to require itself...hope I helped feel free to ask me anything

Thanks Duke. I started masturbating really late (17 years old) and I have had ED since I was 18.

How old are you now? when you say you got a "decent" erection to thoughts would it be 100% good for penetration?... If your erection is harder when you watch your fab porn than when u are fantasizing that's a clear indicator that you at least have Porn induced ED to some degree...a perfectly healthy young man should be able to reach orgasm without even fantasizing and just stimulation alone... And it should be 100 percent hard..

I'm only 22 now which is incredibly frustrating being so young and experiencing problems like this so early in life. The erections I get to thoughts I think may possibly be hard enough for penetration (just), but if I can only get it when lying on my back and using my hand to achieve it. When I take my hand away it goes back down quite quickly.

Yea I feel you on the frustration I'm 24 and I had porn induced Ed last year...overcoming this was the hardest thing I've ever done... I'm in the process of making a website for guys to give support and encouragement through the healing process...but back to you... Loosing your erection when you stop stimulation is another thing that happens with PIED.. A lot of guys say that also when they stand up the erection goes down too... I'll go into a little science behind it...there's a receptor called a d2 receptor in your brain that takes in the 'dopamine' when you get excited.. But over time if your blasting your brain with too much dopamine these receptors break down..after this happens you will need a huge blast of dopamine just to get a response (or an erection)...everything you have mentioned points to PIED... And the only cure is time...and it comes with withdrawals but you can do it you just have to find the willpower! Hit me back with anything man just here to help!
