    Hello all,
    Greetings!

    I have had severe PIED from which I seem to have recovered, at least to some extent, after my 90 day PMO Nofap. Before I pose my question, I would like to dwell upon what I have done during the nofap streak and the changes I have observed.

    Things I have done:
    Completely abstained from anything and everything that is sexually stimulating.
    1 hour HIIT workout for 6 days a week.
    Cold showers (once a day). Did this during the 2nd half of the streak.
    Never attempted to stimulate penis by touching.
    Did romantic things with my wife like kissing and hugging once in a while.
    Meditate for at least 15 mins to 30 mins a day.
    Stayed away from social media.
    Did journaling on daily basis.
    Did not do any intercourse.

    Changes I have noticed:
    Was completely asexual for first half of the streak.
    Got wet dreams which included dreams about porn stars once in a while during the first half of the streak.
    Felt completely calm, stress-free, and happy throughout the streak.
    Started getting morning woods in the second half of the streak.
    Stopped getting wet dreams in the second half of the streak.
    Started finding my wife attractive and started getting aroused by her.
    Used to get urges to watch porn in the first half of the streak. But those urges slowly disappeared.
    Feeling more attracted towards my wife.

    Now, I am not sure if I had my PIED cured as I have not yet had sex with my wife since I have started the Nofap PMO. I would like to do that sometime this week or next. She is sick now due to her allergies and am waiting for her to recover and feel normal. However, I have some questions.

    Now that it looks like I am improving, should I shun all forms of sexual stimulation? For example, we have some friends with whom we share everything, even our sex lives Sometimes we have naughty couple to couple calls (We haven't had such calls or such discussions during the nofap streak). It makes me feel good when I share about our sex lives and experiences with the hubby. I am not sure it is because of the dompanie rush. May be it is. So, should I call it porn and avoid such talk or naughty calls with couple friends? I am confused because there are no pixels involved here..right? Also, the arousal is only from the human-to-human interaction. I am concerned whether such activities impede my PIED recovery?

    Please help.

    I would keep it slow for now. Start out with your wife for a bit and then go from there. Those couple to couple calls could be a trigger, and so being cautious of that is definitely good
