Look carefully here, for any fear on performance that stops you from pursuing sex. There is not going to ever be a golden erection and a perfect performance, some are better than others, the healthier you are the better off you will be, but stop overthinking it, i doubt it is something to really be concerned of
Yes, I'm fully aware somebody needs to be aroused in order to get an erection. Thanks. PIED goes much deeper than just having an issue with erections, it also messes with libido and confidence, among other issues.
Why do I think I have PIED? It's been years since I've had a real erection, I can't even remember the last time. Even with porn, masturbation, being with a girl, spontaneous, you name it. Also my libido is next to nothing and I have had anxieties and hangups about girls and sex, which is exactly what these two addictions to porn and masturbation often cause. I have brain fog and procrastination from them as well. It's absolutely something to be concerned with, pretty hard to have sex without the ability to gain an erection, nevermind the libido and other problems. It's PIED, NOT "normal" ED. The two are entirely different, with respect. It's a frequent mistake to lump them together and just pass it off as a health related thing or fear thing. I've posted a test before that is used to determine if you have PIED or not. It's very helpful in boiling down whether it's some fear, or performance anxiety, or PIED.
Anyway, PIED is a side effect of porn addiction and masturbation addiction, hence Pornography-Induced Erectile Dysfunction. There's a wealth of information on the subject. I won't derail the journal of someone else. I've talked about it before anyway so it'd be redundant. I was just showing solidarity with Javier who also seems to be sufferer. A lot of men are, of one of the addictions, if not both.
