Age 22 – ED, I thought I had a venous leak, I quit porn and recovered!

First of all hi to everyone and sorry in advance if my english is a little bit rusty but i feel obligated to write atleast something here because if it wasn’t for this forum…(don’t even want to say it)

So, i’m a 22 year old and i started masturbating at 13, not even a month after that i disovered porn and i was hooked immediately. So that is almost 10 years and not even a week of all that time has went by that I didn’t masturbate to porn.

I got my first girlfriend at 16 and that’s when i started having sex(or at least was trying to). The girl was super hot, i got popular in high school because of that mostly, everything was great, except in the sheets where I couldn’t perform. We were in love so we kept trying(A LOT). The symptoms were this, i could get hard( and only about 70-80%) while sitting or lying on my back. The moment i tried any other position i would immediately lose it. Of course, we broke up after some time and all i was doing for the next year was feeling down and jerking it to porn to fill the void.

Eventually, i moved to a bigger city for college and went on a rampage of hooking up with girls. But as you might suspect, the problem was only getting worse, i had some semi-successful experiences but that was at best.

Then finally i started researching about my problem( took me long enough because i was always hoping that things would change somehow).

And now we get to the part that i hope that someone will recognize themselves in.

Unfortunately, before i found out about PIED, i run across VENOUS LEAK AND PEYRONIE’S DISEASE. I was a 1000% sure it was one of those two for me because the symptoms are all there especially VL ones. I was crushed, started to develop anxiety about it, constantly reading articles about it and was afraid to go to the urologist because if it was correct i would have to either do surgeries or have an implant put in my dick for it to fucking work. Couple months passed by and a lot of suicidal thoughts through my mind before i found reboot nation youtube channel and this forum where i was reading stories all day. I was sceptical at first because i was in part-denial that there was no way that porn was the problem, it had to be physical. At this time, i had no morning wood ever, no random erections, low libido.

It only took around ten days that i started getting rock hard erections throughout a day. I was happy like a damn child and was feeling better than ever in my whole fucking life. It all happened so fast and often that i just had to masturbate, only this time after all these years without porn. IT’S ALL IN OUR MINDS. I was masturbating thinking about my previous sexual experiences but this time i imagined them successfull and passionate, completely feeling my surroundings and being in the moment. I of course don’t suggest this untill you feel it’s the right moment for it. And fourth week was the complete game-changer, i hooked up with 2 girls individually and had the best time of my whole life( rock hard in every position, i will leave you with that.

:)
Now i can only imagine if this is end of month one, what is finally waiting for me out there from now on..

I want to thank again this forum and hundreds of stories that i red in only a weeks time and I will try to finalize everything with some thoughts. The difference i now see is i was stuck in a cycle where all i was thinking during sexual encounter was my dick(think about it lol). you have to sit first by yourself and think what sex is for you. It has to do with what turns you on, and that as it turns out has everything to do with your brain and absolutely nothing with your dick.Porn fucks up our arousal pathways, and even if some people figure that out it takes them a lot longer to change it. Start with yourself alone, develop your ideas about sex and be realistic and present in the moment, think about a girl in front of you. This might be stupid to someone because of our egos telling us we know everything about sex but the truth is for me even though i had sexual partners since i was 16 i just now realized what sex really is. Your brain is the one that gets turned on and dick will just follow. That’s it from me. Much love and let’s all keep this for good!
