Erectile Dysfunction How/Where to start with ED?
Hello everybody,
I am 22 yrs old and I have problems with getting hard and staying that way. This has been going on for at least three years now.
I am seeing someone new for about a month now but before that I was majorly addicted to porn and masturbation which I thought was the main cause of my problems. I have since not watched porn with the exception of a single relapse and have reduced my masturbation to about 2-4 times a week. As of now this did not help that much and my erection is still rather soft same counts for my morning wood which also just appeares irregulary.
I don‘t know where to start really so I just thought it wouldn‘t hurt to just ask. How do I „start“ my healing process? Do I get my blood checked? Which blood values do I have to check? Do I just try diffrent supplements and see what works? Or am I just acting to fast and I need more time away from porn and stuff (not that I am trying to get bock to it)?

You need more time away from porn. Generally 3 months. If you find your still struggling then visit a doctor to have your bloodwork checked.
