oh yeah, it's absolutely cured for sure. it was a combination of things i had to deal with going from 20 yo KHHV to dating and finally having sex
1- no longer drinking. no more whiskey dick sex where i was chasing an orgasm that would never happen, making her sore and feel unsexy in the process
2- became aware of porn-induced ED. This was probably the most major factor. The ED was worse if i jerked off within 24 hours obviously, and if i jerked it within 24 hrs i was probably doing it daily... porn can arouse you even if you're depleted, but often not the case with real life. usually when I get into a talking phase with a new girl now, i become way more conscious about my porn usage and sometimes quit entirely so that i reduce that impact.
3- realizing that a major part is just nerves getting used to a new person. stopped worrying about it so much and started learning to communicate. it's really not a big deal, and i don't really do casual sex, so it's easier to communicate with someone you already have some emotional rapport with. If you're never allowed to communicate anxiety or feeling inadequate you'll never really break through to the other side when you realize it's all good. And when that happens you ironically can 'perform' soooo much better when you realize it's not actually a performance. IDK if this applies very well to casual hookups which feels more outcome-dependent how good the sex was
