Masturbation, Porn and Erectile Dysfunction
Although it's not true in every case of erectile dysfunction, there is a definite link between masturbation, porn and erectile dysfunction. Sexual function problems such as erectile dysfunction arise due to the fact that masturbation and porn require different sexual programs in the brain to those used in sexual intercourse with a partner.
This mismatch in sexual programming can eventually result in the man's brain becoming confused during sexual intimacy with a real partner. The confusion can manifest as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and being unable to ejaculate. These issues are a frequent result from ongoing masturbation and the use of porn.
Masturbation and Erectile Dysfunction
Predominantly using your hand as your sexual tool can cause weakness in the structural muscles which support the penis. Your arm and hand get a great workout during a masturbation session, but the muscles supporting your penis don't.
In addition to this, when you masturbate, your hand is controlling the pace and the intensity of the stroke. Constantly using your hand to self stimulate detracts from your awareness of the sensations created by penetrating a partner sexually. This can lead to you feeling like you are losing your sex power.
Because your penis isn't being exercised, you may experience a feeling of weakness or numbness when you attempt sexual intercourse.
Weakness or numbness during sexual intercourse causes you to believe that you have a definite erection problem. Ongoing worry and performance anxiety can lead to losing a hard erection during masturbation sessions as well, as you give your brain conflicting messages.
Porn and Erectile Dysfunction
It's important to note that porn does not cause erectile dysfunction directly. The problem with watching porn occurs when the male starts believing that he requires intense visual stimulation to be able to get an erection. This isn't entirely true. But now he may be worrying about his ability to fulfil a live partner if they don't look and act like a porn star.
Performance anxiety starts confusing his brain which promptly makes him lose his erection. Due to his addiction to porn to feel sexual fulfilment he now also has an unrealistic view of sexual actions. What is required to fulfil a partner sexually and how to bring himself and his partner to orgasm.
After a man has lost his erection hardness once, his mind then becomes consumed with worry and anxiety that event will occur again. This can lead to an ongoing erectile dysfunction problem which often continues, even if he stops masturbating or watching porn.
In summary
The link between masturbation, porn and erectile dysfunction is obvious. Masturbation and porn cause erectile dysfunction when the male's brain becomes confused, whether he is alone or with a partner. He can safely masturbate up to twice daily and to occasionally watch porn, but needs to be aware that masturbation is a very different act from having sex with a real partner.
In order to avoid erectile dysfunction either while masturbating or during intercourse he must understand the correct thought/action sequences required. These are necessary to remove anxiety, get an erection, keep his erection and stay in control of when he ejaculates.

Hi Haggai, while running and weight lifting will improve your overall health, it is not part of the answer for solving premature ejaculation.
Hi Jacqui,
I’m curious as to whether there is a certain amount of time to stop masturbating and watching porn for your brain to sort of “reset” and no longer be desensitised to sex?
Hi Mike, it’s not that your brain is de-sensitized to sex – it’s more that your brain is confused. This confusion in your brain (which causes ED) exists because it doesn’t have a complete start to end procedure to get hard and stay hard when you’re being intimate with a partner. So your mind loses focus and wanders – which causes you to either not get hard, or lose hardness soon after achieving it.
So ceasing to masturbate and watch porn usually isn’t enough to end an erectile dysfunction problem. It can stop that “individual sex” program from dominating your thought process, but it won’t end the confusion which you face when you’re with a partner.
In my “Hard AND in Control” program I explain exactly how to provide your brain with the signals that it understands, so you can initiate and maintain a strong hard erection and retain total ejaculation control.
Please give some tips to maintain yourself throughout life. What to do, what not to do… to manage your sex life aside of other life burdens. Thanks.
Hi Sunny,
The most important thing is to deal with problems as they arise. For instance, unresolved sex problems cause relationship stress and can lead to the demise of a relationship. It’s better to make an investment in your future now – instead of hoping a problem will eventually go away by itself. Masturbating to porn is nowhere near fulfilling as sex with a live partner and as you know, can lead to erectile dysfunction issues. Life is too precious to waste feeling unfulfilled and alone.
Hi Mam, I am 27 years old, I was full of sex before two weeks ago. But suddenly I lost the erection so I was very much worried and stressed about it. I met the urologist and he prescribed me tadalafil 20 mg. I felt erection again by using one tablet, but then as the drug effect was over, I felt that ED came back. I feel only erection when I had taken tadalafil. So my problem is ED for sure and can curable permanently or not? Or any other problem I have??
I am scared now that I lost my ability of sex permanently! ???????? So I am worried about that I have any other problem than ED. Is my problem very common and psychological or its a major problem??? Please help me, I am very much worried about it. Thank you in advance.
Hi Akky, ED is a very common problem amongst men. In my experience it is usually a psychological problem, as in, once you have experienced losing your erection once, then it plays on your mind to cause future ED problems. Unfortunately most doctors and urologists only prescribe drugs which don’t end the problem. You need to understand the psychology of how to get your mind and body to work as a team. My “Sex Mastery: Hard AND in Control” program will teach you how to get an erection and keep it – throughout foreplay and intercourse. So yes, it can cure your ED problem. (There are links to the program in the right sidebar.)

Hi Robb, this is an easy problem for me to solve, usually in one session. I suggest you take action to solve a weak erection issue before it becomes a bigger problem in your brain. Constantly checking to see if you have a weak erection or ED problem will definitely cause problems!

Hi Mam,
I am a 31 year old married guy , facing ED for the last 3 days …I am so worrying about this erection. I do not have habits like drinking and smoking.. Also I do regular exercise. Kindly help me with answer. Thanks.
Hi Pavan, this is an easy problem for me to solve. Smoking, drinking and lack of exercise are rarely the cause of ED. Focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time is activating the wrong muscle program in your brain.
I’m 33 year old got married before 3 months. I used to watch porn and masturbate, my problem is that I can’t satisfy my mate to the fullest as am facing problem of PE after few minutes of entry. And also ED after first discharge. Please help.
It’s normal to experience a weak erection after ejaculating. With regards to the early ejaculation, it is caused by over stimulating your brain sexually. The best way to solve this problem is with a session so you understand exactly what you have been doing wrong, as well as the step by step requirement to gain full control.
