Boyfriend unable to get erection but masturbating to Instagram models

92 replies

To the women on here, how would you feel if your boyfriend couldn't get an erection, but was using Instagram models and such like to masturbate regularly?

We've only been seeing each other for 7 months....

I reckon the Banshee has screamed the death knell of this relationship!!!

You can do so much better! Don't waste any more time on this one! 🙌

I pray you don’t have daughters..

I have a son whom I would never introduce to anyone unless I have known them for well over a year and vetted them in various ways. He's in his late teens, but even so.....

This is genuinely so depressing, do you even need to ask? Seriously ?!

How did you discover he was doing this OP?

So many men seem to do this though..... are there any left that don't?

If they all did, down to the last one of them, each and every single 40 odd year old man rendered impotent because they were furiously hunched over sweating one out over images of naked teenage girls, it STILL wouldn't make it ok to throw your lot in with one of them and spend the rest of your life feeling inadequate and dissatisfied. What a waste of you.

I looked on his phone while he was asleep. I know, bad..... but he kept getting lots of Instagram and Facebook notifications from accounts he is clearly following and not for their scintillating sense of humour or fascinating intellectual information.... They were waking me up at silly times of the night when I was staying over and when I asked them, he said oh just my family chat group or Gmail, nothing important.

You can do better OP and you know it. Set yourself free.

His porn-addled brain is wired up wrongly. He needs a bunch of sex therapy to have a chance of having a healthy relationship. Bin him.

Greenhippos · Today 14:53

Dump him. He’s a liar too for implying it was his Aunt Doris messaging him at 3:30am. What a loser.

malloryknox123 · Today 14:54

I’d dump him and find someone who is interested in sex with me

Change2banon · Today 14:54

Surely you know the answer?! A 42 year old man can’t have sex with his partner, but wanks over young slim women 🤮🤮
Kick him out, pick up your self respect, and move on.

I think about 20% don't, which isn't a heartening percentage but still adds up to being a large number of men, so there's hope! I don't know how to go about finding one though; I snagged mine a few decades ago, so I've no idea how to navigate the hell of dating these days.

I assume he can only get an erection now by masturbating as he's been wanking so much? I had an ex who, no matter how much I tried (hand job, oral etc), the rhythm/tension or whatever could never replicate his own wanking motion. I truly believe the death grip is a thing. So many men (including very young men) suffer with this now,thanks to the constant use and accessibility of porn. Sad

RobinEllacotStrike · Today 14:58

Men are making themselves unfuckable with their porn habits & shitty attitudes.

It impacts us as hetero/bi women but it's not our responsibility to fix or manage their problems.

Throw this one back OP

pinkishtongue · Today 14:59

Bin him now, he won’t improve. He’s a porn addict.

He says all men do it, that what people fantasise about does not say anything about that person's character.

Mmmmm.... well I think differently....

Spot on. From my own experience, it will never change. Ever.

Well I don't even know that, as I'm not there when he's doing it. He said though that he has problems getting erect even when masturbating, but last time I stayed over... another icky thing... there was dried semen on the duvet cover.... So he can do it without me.

Which means he can do without me altogether henceforth....

How does he know ALL men do it? He clearly tried to hide it from you by implying insomniac Aunt Doris texts throughout the night (not scammers looking for death grip porn hounds to scam).

If all men do it surely he wouldn’t hide it.

Change his name on your phone to deathgrippornhound and dump him

It would have to be someone incredibly special for me to change my mind now. I have so much to offer, but I won't settle.

You will never see him the same again. Thank me when you are sleeping on clean sheets this weekend and not dodging his dried semen. 🤣
