Porn addiction

It is a real problem.
I just got in a steady relationship with the guy of my dreams.
Been watching porn for a long time, but fell in love with this guy before I even saw him with his shirt off, let alone his pants.
I love him to death, but when it comes time, and we're laying in bed together, I get nothing.
I know he's disappointed, but I practically have to see action now before I get any kind of rise.
It's awful. I'm 21. This shouldn't be an issue.
I talked to him about it, and we've both agreed to cut out porn for at least the time being.
He doesn't normally watch porn, anyway, so not gonna be tough for him.
But it is for me.

Yall aren't the only ones. Same exact problem here. I have never enjoyed the sex I was with. I realized it was a genuine addiction when I couldn't stop it at will. Good luck on stopping you two. 22 M decently fit and active.

Long term exposure to pornography, particularly "rough porn", desensitizes an individual to sex and creates an unrealistic sexual expectation leading to gratification. This has been proven within the psychology community. Although it is considered a loose science, there is still validity to it.
Remember, porn actresses are PAID to act like women do in porn. The excessive screaming and cum on my face bit is all fake. Even some cum shots on the face are faked (there is a documentary on this and the trickery within porn). Not too mention those porn actresses are very high on coke, ecstasy, meth, you name it.
Stop watching porn. Masturbation, when being performed modestly, is good for humans. It relieves stress like no other.
From now on when you masturbate, use your minds eye (imagination) to create a plausible scenario between you and someone you like. NOT A PORN SCENARIO. That would defeat the purpose. When doing this, you will find that not only will you last longer, but sexual climax is actually severely gratifying.
When cranking it out to porn, you just cum and turn it off and on your way. No build up, no true contentment.
Trust me, just try.

P.S. You may also be a sex addict. Which means that you should seek out a therapist.

Been looking at weird porn since I was 10 after accidentally stumbling on it. I've tried dropping it on and off for the past years, and it's pretty hard though the seriousness of the problem only hit me when I couldn't get hard with a woman in bed. I've been trying to break the habit since, and the longest I've gone was 4 months. Right now I'm back at the habit again and struggling to drop it..

My personal advice would be to try and try again; be relentless and determined in giving up porn. Healthy lifestyle is also very important (exercise, go out, etc.). There are plenty of online resources on the issue like nofap and yourbrainonporn if you're curious

I actually just got done masturbating once again, Ive been doing it once a day for the past two weeks now and my dick just can't get as hard now I really need to lay off the porn, more importantly I should try getting laid for Christ sake.

Porn addiction means that there's not much exciting stuff going on in your life. Start a new hobby, enjoy the nature, slowly replace the addiction with some healthier addiction.

Too strong grip kills sensitivity. Here's what to do to restore that sensitivity to enjoy real sex again.

Start by having a week off. Being around your family members or friends and staying in work/school long enough will help a lot in achieving that. After a couple of days you might get raging hard-ons and an unbearable desire to secretly fap. Do anything to distract your thoughts.

After giving your genitals some rest, try to avoid using force next time. Try to use as gentle grip as possible. Or try real sex. Should be much easier to climax.
