Excess porn exposure: I suspect you are experiencing a form of desensitization due to masturbating watching porn(MWP). This seems to be a problem with young adults since porn became so available. Constant MWP probably "exhausts" or depletes the brains neurotransmitters responsible for full excitement and erection. It also possibly modifies the neural connections in the brain.
