I’m hoping there’s someone here who’s been in the same boat as I am and can offer advice or give me some kind of hope…
Im a 30 yr old single male who doesn’t have a partner, and sex is quite rare for me. I’ve been using this app for over half a year now after one bad hookup where I just felt completely numb and couldn’t get hard despite having this gorgeous woman in front of me. I had minor issues in previous encounters leading up to this, but this one spiralled from then on to completely impact my confidence with sex.
I realised the damage I did to myself after consuming porn almost daily from my teens and masturbating pretty aggressively. I’ve stopped watching porn for a while now and am trying mindful masturbation till I feel ready to put myself back out there. However, I’m finding it tricky to get FULLY hard, especially when my mind is needing the same stimulation it has had for years.
It comes and goes, and I keep having to think back to old porn scenes to even have a chance at it, and it builds worries and doubts. Maybe it’s something physical?
I guess I just really want to know is this damage reversible or am I beyond repair? Has any other guy here had this experience and come back from it? Can I be re-sensitised? Any tips or advice?
