I read through your post, and it sounds eerily similar to what I did when I was 18 years old. I found the same website, made a similar hanger, and did many of the same things you did. There was a period of time that I could not get an erection at all for a while(maybe a few months). It was incredibly depressing. I’ve tried all sorts of supplements, Viagra, massaging and stretching and nothing seemed to have any real effect. I used to be able to have sex, but my erection would not last long, and I would not be rock hard for more than a minute during intercourse. If I had to wear a condom, forget it.
Fast forward to today, I am 23.5 years old. Not much has changed, if anything I have a harder time having sex because I constantly lose my erection or I just don’t get aroused. I am however able to get erections with porn and constant stimulation. This is where something clicked, and I did some research.
I think I have porn induced ED. I’ve had access to high speed internet since I was 15 years old, and have been using porn ever since. For the most part, I am always able to get an erection with porn. There are a lot of testimonials and information on guys our age that have ED, and it is caused by the use of porn. I’ve tried to quit before, but always relapse and binge, or I get depressed because it isn’t working after a few weeks and give up. Combine this with our depression and anxiety about our ED, and it makes things that much worse.
Basically, from everything I’ve read, it can take 6 months to 2 years for us to recover and re-wire our brain for the real thing. I am prepared to do this, and am once again attempting to rid my life of porn.
I tried to sum it up as quickly as possible, forgive me for that but I don’t have time to recall every slightest detail about my ED. If you use porn, and always have from an early age, then read into it. Continue to use supplement and viagra to promote nocturnal erections, and just leave your shit alone. The more you mess with it, the more it will consume your thoughts. I quit obsessing over my penis and my ED, and my anxiety has gone way down.
