you would think the opposite would happen,,,,,you get a REAL woman in your hands,,, you'd be a rocket man

doesn't make sense to me.. I can look at all the food pictures I want,,,they look great but I cant taste them
my mouth may water looking at them,,,,but still no taste,,,
but to finally eat the food ive been looking at ........and taste/feel all he real sensations,,,is a different world..

the most important sex organ is the brain.

relax... no expectations. if you do have a real woman ... with you ,,,look at her don't reference the porn

Actually, it is probably a very good idea to try with an escort in this situation. An escort is not going to judge him and probably would not be shocked as a girlfriend would. She has seen it all. Nor is she likely to tell anything to her friends as a girlfriend probably would. And of course a girlfriend of OP's age will probably just break up with him if he is not able to perform. Young women are not know for patience in this area.

And she won´t have a problem just working on him with out expecting much in return.
Plus they know all the tricks that women his age mostly don´t.

I went to another one this week and the same thing happened. She was nice and friendly and tried her best but it was still a major humiliation to me.

Is this usual? This has seriously worried me.
At 23 usually Full time job is better to have than other jobs. Wait until 30, its when that life starts.

He's never had a girlfriend.

After my first successful sexual experience, my partner said to me, "You're really good at this. I can't believe you haven't done it before." And I told her, "I was just doing what I felt like doing." She was satisfied because what I felt like doing was seeing her satisfied, even more so than satisfying myself. But none of that was conscious -- thinking about it would have killed it for me and for her. Your issue is that you don't have this problem of getting into your head and can't relate to it, but I can.
You know nothing about "my issue" and my experiences, what I can and cannot do. LOL

"Mindfulness" is totally different from being anxious and self-conscious, which is what you are attempting to describe with the "is she satisfied?" examples.

You aren't really sharing a similar experience. All that happened was a story about sex triggered a memory in your head, and you ran with it.

I believe it is your own reading that's off. Maybe the porn is affecting your brain?

maybe the question you need to be asking yourself is why you haven't had a gf at age 23. Most guys and girls ahve had a few by then

Neither had I at 23 (my first was at 24), but I always related to women much better than I related to men. I found men intimidating and judgmental, and to be honest, I still do. I've gotten a lot better over the years at pretending to be on the same wavelength as men, but it's mostly fake. I found women in general to be much easier to talk to, far more understanding, more mature, more confessional and more interesting. But that didn't translate into romance because of a variety of issues too complex to get into here, at least some of which the OP likely also suffers from.

So you're saying you're regularly crippled by your own anxiety and self-doubt, particularly in social situations? LOL

Sounds like you're saying the OP needs to calm down and live in the moment, which is the same thing I was saying.

That is an unfounded statement.

I think you are normal for not being able to have sex with hookers. That's just plain normal to me. Who can sleep with a hooker?!

Second...you just need to drop the porn, forget about hookers and meet girls and get your feet planted in the real world of sex.
