im 27 now and reading ur post with the desperation line gives me chills, I remember being 23 and begging a pharmacist on Valentine's day for viagra cuz for over a month I havent been able to seal the deal, after a few embarrasing attempts, I knew thissue was my last chance, pharmacist said no, doc said no, wouldnt write a prescription, I couldn't get hard and pretended to pass out that night, gf left me 2 weeks later, I didnt date again till I was almost 26, im not tryin to scare u, but u have that time machine I so desperately wanted, start readjusting urself now, an avoid gaurunteed pain and heartbreak, I have a normal great sexlife, but porn is and j/o is still a struggle, I guess im an addict, I would advise start NOW! before you become as hardwired as I did...

thank god for this site, so many issues I have found, in a way its good to know ur not the only one, I first found porn in tge 3rd grade and I was hooked, the more porn I watxhed the more I needed, it got to the point where standard porn wouldn't do it anymore, so I had to keep finding more and more extreme, I was desensitizing myself from regular stimuli, basically jis seeing a hot girl just wasnt enough, I had to see the extreme, Ive been where ur at, u jus have to slow down, watch less, like a smoker u have to taper off, it wont happen at first but after awhile after cutting back, way back on porn u will be able to be aroused normally, also if ur porn usage is excessive, it will create comfort zone that will make it hard to lol get hard in the real deal, I would always have to start of sex with a bj, jus so I xan get started, but now after cutting way back on porn, I can jump right into it

sorry for blowin up ur topic its jus I really feel like im pretty much talkin to myself years ago, you also have to keep in mind the anxiety of not "rising to the ocassion" was a problem also, I used drugs an alcohol to break the ice, and of course I depended on it way to much, but jus like porn, I cut back, so ppl might disagree, but they havent been where I have mentally, but whatever you use to break the ice and not be to nervous, remember why, and that its an aid and not a substitute, many guys have performance anxiety " getting hard for sex" but when u combine it with, porn comfort/dependance it can be almost impossible to overcome, maybe you wont need an "aid" I had to discover all this myself, slowly and painfully, I almost gave up completly, I found a girl who saved my life, but I beleive u can save yours, once again goodluck and dont walk down that road anymore thwn you have, I have showed where it can lead and you font want that, wow, first time I talked about this ever, thx for listening, feels good to get this out

yea while I saw porn young, I didnt really start collecting it till 12( still young) I jus kept collecting, lol prolly didnt help that my dad had 2 boxes full, must be genetic, i mean ppl have porn but my dad had like a hundred different tapes, im sure more than most, my brothers never knew, I guess that leads me to believe it is a earned behaivor, lol its sounds like rehab, but the first step is realizing u have a problem, you have already done that so keep in mind and take steps to correct it, as long u do that you will be fine, good luck man feel free to msg me or whatever, I wish I had IIN when I was ur age, later...

I also looked at the site themanagement posted, good resource, but I read some of the comments of guys who stopped and how there sex drive decreased, I can personally account for that, everyone is different but for me, completly. stopping j/o is not the answer, but limiting it and doing with no porn or jus vids of my gf, all dudes wack it, jus for some of us, its needs to be controlled
