Porn addiction and ED

[DoctorSmith8]

That is a lot of ejaculations per week for that age group.

Yeah, that's what I thought. But if it helps fight prostate cancer...

Harvard Ejaculation Study

In 1992, 29,342 men between the ages of 46 and 81 provided information about their average number of ejaculations per month. Ejaculations included sexual intercourse, nocturnal emissions, and masturbation. The volunteers provided comprehensive health and lifestyle data every two years until the study concluded in 2000.

High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

An Australian study of 2,338 men examined the impact of sexual factors on the occurrence of prostate cancer before the age of 70. Like the Harvard research, the Australian investigation evaluated total ejaculations rather than sexual intercourse itself. Like the American men, the Australians who ejaculated most frequently enjoyed a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2.3 times a week on average.

Are those quality studies? And epidemiological studies are notoriously useless since they only demonstrate correlation, not ...[you know]. I'm sure you've probably heard that 2/3 of all studies are wrong:
Beware those scientific studies—most are wrong, researcher warns

I am becoming more aware of late that I’m addicted to porn and masturbation. I enjoy masturbation more than sex.

I am attempting to change my ways, dumped nearly all my socials and emails associated with porn sites.

I feel the need for validation from strangers, by doing things that will ultimately get me in trouble, unintentionally, but I need that validation.

I feel stupid that it’s come to this. Am I alone here, are there others that are in the same boat, has anyone overcome it?

Any help appreciated

Nothing about ed in this post, unless you're talking about only being able to get it up when you masturbate and not when getting the real thing.

No such thing as porn addiction

You'd be very wrong about that. In fact there is a ton of literature of this topic and Certified Sex Addiction Therapists would also disagree. In addition, Sex Addict Anonymous has a lot of literature available that discusses this issue in length.

So if a study says that 2/3 of studies are wrong, how do we know which third that study falls into?
