This is actually more common than you’d think:
I’m 29 and she is 25. I’ve been with her four months and I love her a lot. Before that I was single for six years and I didn’t have sex all that time.
I’m so happy to be with my girlfriend but I don’t get the sensation I have when I’m doing the business alone.
I get more sensation and stronger orgasms when I’m masturbating with porn.

I know sex should be so much better, but what do I do?
This excerpt from Your Brain on Porn is absolutely mind-blowing and yes, the most likely explanation for it is pornography:
What about other historical rates of ED in peer-reviewed literature using various instruments? First, here are results from the 2 major cross-sectional studies on ED in sexually active American men. Both predated heavy internet penetration.
In the 1940s, the Kinsey report concluded that the prevalence of ED was less than 1% in men younger than 30 years, less than 3% in those 30–45.
A 1999 cross-sectional study (based on data gathered in 1992) published by the Journal of the American Medical Association reported erectile dysfunction rates of only 5%, and low sexual desire in 5%. In that study, the ages of the men surveyed ranged from 18 to 59, so a third of them were over 40, which means the rates for sexually active men under 40 were lower.
…Now, we turn to other recent studies on young men (~40 and under). Using the IIEF-5, a 2012 cross-sectional study of Swiss men aged 18-24 found ED rates of 30%, and a 2010 Brazilian study of men 18-40 reported ED rates of 35%. A 2013 Italian study reported one in four patients seeking help for new onset ED were younger than 40. Astonishingly, the rate of severe ED was nearly 10% higher in younger men than in men over 40.
If a 70-year-old was having trouble in the sack, you’d get it, but does it make any sense at all to you that a young, healthy man shouldn’t be firing at 110% during sex? 1%? 2%? Sure, there are outliers, but 30%? 35%? It’s madness.
Moreover, if he’s having this problem at 29 and doesn’t change, how are things going to be when he gets a little older and the hormones aren’t working like they did when he was young? The best thing he can do is stop using porn & give his brain time to recover.
