Gotta wake up earlier. More time to do it, less stress about rushing around.

So I have quite the problem. Was finally with a lady after a looong dry spell and could not preform, she said it was alright but I feel like poo poo about it and I feel like me worrying about it is going to affect me the next time we are together any thoughts or suggestions would be great. In addition I did some looking around and I was wondering if PIED is a real thing or not, the only real website I found about it was a bit new agey so I do not know if i should trust it or not.

What's PIED?

These things happen. If you want to be sure for next time get a perscription for viagra so you won't be worried and you'll get over your mental roadblock.

Porn induced erectile disfunction. I don't know if it is an actual thing or not and was wondering if anybody could confirm or deny its existence.

Yeah I was thinking of giving that a shot since I figured it might be a mental issue, thanks for the suggestion.

Definitely. Porn numbs you mentally. I mean, it's over-the-top constant mental stimulation, and just like anything you'll just get numb to normal things.

ED can be triggered by so many things, including the stress of not performing, so it's a nasty cycle. Viagra will remove that stress - it's not a permanent thing, once you perform once or twice your confidence will be back and you'll be able to perform naturally.

In the meantime cut out the porn entirely. Just stop watching it. It's definitely not beneficial.

Personally I think you should just try to relax as much as you can and give it another shot before you go off to try and get a Viagra prescription. This is the kind of thing that happens to every guy at some point and in particular, is really common when you're with a new partner after a long spell. Especially if you've grown accustomed to getting stimulation from masturbating in that time.


That's true too. Tesla Cola have you been watching porn and beating it every day? Because cutting that out will make an improvement. Did you get hard then were unable to maintain, or did you not get an erection at all? Because getting hard and not maintaining is a big indicator of psychological, not physical, problems. Which again, points back to porn watching or being stressed at not being able to perform. Did you engage in a lot of foreplay? Because that's not just for the woman.

I've just started going on dates with a woman who told me she got genital sores from HSV1 about 18 months ago. I read the link regarding herpes in the OP but I just wanted to clarify a couple things. Apparently a large number of people with HSV1 just never get symptoms, so I may already have it and never shown a sign, right? Does the fact that she specifically had a genital outbreak mean that I could then get one if we had sex, and then that's just something I have? Or if I already have the virus from when I was a kid or whatever, I already have the antibodies, and it's a non-issue.
That being said I don't even know if I've ever been exposed to HSV1, so I may not have antibodies. I've read I could still get the virus and an outbreak through sex, even with a condom, because there's still lots of skin touching and whatnot. But since her one outbreak was 18 months ago, is that a non-issue.

Basically this sucks and I'm looking for a way to make this work.
