I though that porn induced ed was a real thing

Because it was the only way for me to consistently get hard and climax and I was unable to perform with partners regularly, I felt as though porn was the reason why.
That regularly watching porn doesn’t desensitize you during sex

I often felt as though I had to picture porn in my mind to keep my erection going. Which made me feel guilty with my partner like I wasn’t being totally honest with them.

I do feel that I need to fantasise about extreme things to ejaculate.
I lack real sexual experience, so I used porn, now I fear I have watched too much of it
Anxiety and nervousness makes me cum fast vs. watching too much porn. But if porn is chasing me too much anxiety, it might worthwhile to decrease the usage
Eroticism + Obstacle = excitement (makes a lot of sense).
I started looking at porn when I was 5 at a friend’s house. His father had a lot of p*** magazines. Then my mother started buying me p*** magazines at the age of 10. And I’ve always been addicted to it and need it. I masturbate often as that’s the only way I seem fulfilled
That’s it’s wrong, the shame, that it’s causing problems, that I’m not enough
It’s pretty simple. Negatives far out way the positives of porn. So I don’t want to watch it. I’ve watched enough in my life. I’m good mate.

Porn gives me unrealistic expectations of what great sex looks like. It also made me feel like I’m not a good lover because I’m not as big as the actors and don’t last as long as they do.

I have to last 20-30 min and perform like the male actors in pornography.
It use to now I just watch porn cause I’m bored and usually women pleasuring themselves is my go to
Even my therapist has told me porn isn’t the issue and to not stop cold turkey. She said porn has been a “self soothing mechanism” since my teens, and the traumas that came at that time. She’s suggested to find better ways to soothe instead of porn, as quiting a self soothing mechanism cold turkey could bring more trauma and unintended consequences.
I’ve definitely used it as a way to self soothe and this habit has also warped my idea of what real/normal sex looks like, bringing about its own anxiety when the time comes
The notion of self soothing for stress makes total sense
The fact that porn in itself does not cause ED. The prohibition of porn when younger probably does have a link to eroticism for me.
