How do I know if my ED is porn-related? (TEST)

A lot of guys don't notice that their performance problems are becoming more serious. Logically, they (and their doctors) assume that if they can get off to porn, they don't have sexual dysfunction. They assume that any problem lies with drug or alcohol use, or their choice of partner. Perhaps she's not hot enough, not their type, reminds them of their ex, or is too sexually aggressive.

Most have to fail repeatedly with different partners before they start looking for answers. If they were masturbating without porn most would quickly realize that neither intoxication nor performance anxiety can fully account for their problem (although performance anxiety can certainly contribute the problem once the performance problems begin).

Wondering if your problem is porn-related?

The only conclusive test is to go through an entire reboot and return your brain to normal responsiveness before you have sex. However, you can usually answer your question by comparing your responsiveness in these two situations:

1. On one occasion masturbate to your favorite porn (or simply remember what it was like).

2. On another masturbate with no porn/porn fantasy. Use only sensations, with the same speed and pressure you would use during intercourse.

How erect was your penis? How long did it take you to reach orgasm? What was your level of excitement? A healthy young man should have no trouble attaining a full erection and masturbating to orgasm without porn or fantasy.

• If you have a strong erection on #1, but problems on #2, then you have porn-induced performance problems. 
• If #2 is strong and solid, but you have trouble with a real partner, then you have anxiety-induced problems. See a good counselor.
• If you have problems during both 1 and 2, you may have progressive porn-induced problems, or an organic problem. See a good urologist to rule out the latter.
