I've had porn induced ED for a while now and started to deal with it a little over a month ago. I started doing kegels (more RK than regular kegels) along with starting the JP90 routine.
Overall I don't think EQ has gotten better at all. There have been times where it seemed like my erections got more rigid, but unfortunately there have been just as many times where I had trouble achieving an erection at all. When I focus really hard, I generally don't surpass roughly 60% EQ.
This got me a bit desperate. It caused trouble during the jelqing exercise, because I couldn't stay engorged for longer than 20-30 reps. If I then released my jelqing grip, the EQ had gone down to roughly 20% (only slightly engorged). This annoyed me because it made the jelqing routine last way longer. I had to spend an additional 10 minutes in total in each routine getting my penis back to a workable erection level.
So I did the dumbest thing an (former) porn addict could do: to watch porn. It worked out fine for the exercise, but I now feel like the bad habits have returned. I bust myself watching porn again, even if it's not to masturbate. Sometimes it's just out of boredom. It's gotten really hard to stay away from it again.
To make matters worse: my EQ end PE are worse than ever. Even porn won't get me up anymore. I achieve 50% at best and can still come prematurely while trying to edge. Now I'm really self-aware of the issue, which makes me overly attentive of my EQ, which likely makes it even worse. I'm now desperate and fear I can't ever achieve an erection anymore. It's likely not that bad, but my mind makes me believe it and it's not helping. I'm only 24 and don't want to go through life impotent.
I think this is only a phase, but it's a difficult one to get through. I guess my reason for posting this is to ask for advice on how to get through this. Also, can I still do my exercises, or do I have to drop them entirely for just kegels, since the exercises get me back into bad habits?
