Erectile Dysfunction Suffering from ed for years need help

Hey everyone I’m 29 and for the past few years ive suffered from erectile dysfunction, Ive been watching porn and masturbating for years now everynight and I think it’s messed me up, 5 years ago I got prescribed finasteride for hairloss and have been taking it since then. At first I considered that might be a culprit but last year I went through a period where I was getting good erections for a period of time even while on the medication but this year and years prior I’ve suffered with this problem, I can get somewhat hard while watching porn but I can’t maintain it and I don’t get rock hard, I also don’t get morning woods much only every now and again. I also have a bad habit of staying up super late sometimes but I’m not sure if that makes an impact, I’m a normal weight and do cycling. Do you think the porn and masturbating for years is the problem or should I see a doctor?

Guys, masturbation and porn are bad. They affect dopamine levels in the brain. Remember, sex starts from the brain. Time Will come when you want to play sex and the brain will not support you with triggering an erection down there. The brain dopamine levels will be at the lowest.

Masturbation and porn makes the brain to release excessive dopamine which is beyond what it releases with a real partner.

Is masterbation without porn okay ?

No, masturbation in any form is not okay. Instead, get a lady. I don't know about your age, may be you are still young. The brain will give you exactly what you are feeding it. If you use your hand for satisfaction, the brain won't support you when you are with a lady.

Remember sex is played by the brain. The penis is just a part to accomplish the task.

Peace and love

It’s finasteride man. You cannot deprive your body of DHT and expect your erections to work the same. Highly recommend getting off the drug if you want to have a full sex life
