I have no money, I have a crap job (and I struggle even to do my job properly), I am fat, I have a disability which I never asked for, I struggle with anxiety and depression and OCD and talking to myself, I am a former alcoholic, I dropped out of university 3 times, my mother died of cancer, I don't have much of a social life and have few friends, I have serious sexual problems that make it nearly impossible for me to have sex, I have a lot of self esteem issues, and I can't even lift 134kg at the gym. I SHOULD JUST KILL MYSELF, IT WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER

I also have a lot of weird ideas about society as well that I should probably keep to myself

This is what WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE feels like

 

oh yeah and I was bullied as well thanks for reminding me

Hey if this is directed at me I want to say that all I did was ask a question about you posted. If you would prefer I didn't do that then just say so.  

I'm not being a dick about it, I don't have a problem with you

Life is just depressing. It has turned out far worse than I ever expected it would

Taking a break from Tinder

I masturbate to porn all the time, and have no problem getting an erection for porn, it's just when a real live woman is in front of me that I don't get an erection

How has it been debunked?

If you are going in there dreading the prospect of sex, and thinking about all these ideas and theories you've read about online... well of course you are going to be in a negative state of mind

I agree that stress and anxiety MOST CERTAINLY can cause the lack of sexual performance you describe.  It has occasionally done so for me especially with women who had high expectations for me!

Stress and anxiety is even more of a factor when condoms are necessary as condoms interrupt normal flow of sexual stimulation.  That this has been "debunked" is nonsense in my mind!

I used to drink very heavily almost always when I attempted sex and almost never had the failure to perform you described though I was far from successful in satisfying women in penetrative sex, being small with a premature tendency.  I had a high tolerance for alcohol, however, so it more or less "worked for me" in avoiding the problems you describe.  Alcohol is an anesthetic so  it nearly completely eliminated feelings of stress and anxiety even when a condom was required though most of my sex occurred before AIDs worries became paramount (1984) and condom usage was not often requested.

When I started supplementing testosterone at about 55 years of age, I was amazed at the immediate reduction in stress and anxiety.   However, that discovery occurred a bit late in life to help my sex life much.  Generally day to day coping with the demands of being a male greatly improved.  Feelings of anxiety and stress were greatly reduced.  I could actually enjoy, to an extent, asserting myself.

Size has nothing to do with it really

Saying physical presence has "nothing" to do with bullying is not correct.  I always noted that smaller guys with my personality suffered a lot more from bullying than I did.  I got a big taste of bullying however during the period of my delayed puberty (12-16).  However, even then, I was lucky to be taller than average.

However, you are correct in that "bullies" or men wishing to exercise dominance can often detect psychological signs of weakness or submissiveness and target accordingly regardless of size.

White male privilege is a political strategy to intimidate the well off and successful.  You should ignore it.  It is more accurate to just acknowledge that life is always more difficult for minorities.  Certainly, you would have even more difficulties if you were exactly the same, but a minority.  Black guys, for instance, MUST be sexual athletes according to stereotypes accepted throughout the culture!

From personal experience, I would advise you against intellectual compensations for your mental and physical issues, whatever they are.  It seems that you have already done that to an extent by rejecting extreme "right-wing" thinking.
