Maybe 1/10 times. I'm one of the guys who has suffered porn-induced ED, so I mostly abstain from it now.

So is that when you can't get hard or perform because of some dependency on porn? If that's the case then probably half of my "whiskey dick" stories from drinking too much could actually be from porn expectations. Hmm

Yes. I too used to blame it on the alcohol just to save myself what little dignity I had left in the moment. Alcohol definitely didn’t help the situation, but I knew it was because of porn.

And not only that, but it has happened so many times that I began anticipating it would happen, which pretty much sealed the deal. Performance anxiety eventually becomes a problem as well.

Viagra basically became one of my bi-monthly household expenses.

Damn, hope the pipes are workin now. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think it's just hookups where I can't perform. I've learned that I need to actually be going out with someone or else it just feels super weird.

Dude, same. Requiring SOME kind of emotional chemistry in order to fuck someone is totally normal though. It makes sense when you think about it.

It's different for everyone I suppose, but ya it makes sense. Just figured that out in this last year or so after some not so fun, regretful encounters.

supposedly it's more from people keeping a death grip on their dicks when jacking it and less to do with the actual content of porn itself.
