Problems with sustaining an erection.

[granger4]

Hi guys, i am a 16 year old male and recently came out as gay. i have been experimenting with boys, as well as porn.

I have found that i sometimes struggle to maintain and erection when masturbating without porn. i don’t think this has anything to do with my ‘coming out’ and i’m starting to think that it may be because i rely on porn too much and it has become unnatural to sustain an erection.

i think i am definitely gay, which is why i don’t think it’s part of the issue

i am worried this is going to cause issues down the line, so i’m hoping to get this resolved soon!

If anyone has any advice i would be very grateful!!

Stop with the porn, you shouldn’t need it at your age. Possible anxiety issues with sex with men, discover your own body n lay off the porn mate 👍🏽

This sounds like classic "performance anxiety" . Its easier to perform when its a fantasy situation. I would agree that reducing your porn intake and relying on real life would help. Sexual health clinics can give advice. And also I would recommend attending one for vaccinations for hep B and HPV as well as advice about sexual health for men who have sex with men.
