    I've been in a relationship for 4 years. What are your thoughts on me having sex with my partner during my reboot process? In the past I have heard pros and cons to this topic. Part of me doesn't want to neglect my partner's needs, and the other part wants to abstain from sex if it is for my greater good. However, if I do abstain I fear that the temptations would be even stronger. Any feedback is appreciated.

    It affects us all differently. Some can have sex, some cannot. The chaser that some experience after sex can be a dilly to deal with, setting off the urge to pmo. Pied can be an obstacle for some. Not being able to have sex without the 'porn thoughts' filling your head can be an issue for others. There's so many pros and cons individually it's hard to say, mate.

    I had sex regularly during reboot as I was considerably concerned with rewiring to the real being a serious part of my reboot. I went approximately 45 days no pmo no sex, then introduced sex. At that point I noticed no negative impact from having sex aside from the chaser the next day. For the chaser - more sex solved that lol.

    Best of luck, mate.

    How will I know which one I am? I guess I just gotta test and see. Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to hear others experiences with sex (or no sex) during the reboot process.

    Thanks guys. I may try abstaining from orgasm for 21 days and then start having sex with partner again. I'm worried about screwing up the "rewiring" of my brain during my initial reboot.

    Yes, you can do that. I know that I need to not have sex during this reboot, because I have PIED mixed with a bit of performance anxiety. So I have trouble getting it up or keeping it up. So I just said to myself, "reboot on hard mode for the 90 days." When my PIED is gone, I can always have sex after. The only difference is with my situation is I am single. So perhaps, if you do choose to go my route, you can ask your partner to do this little break with you or just have your partner M (considering it is not a problem for them) while they patiently wait for you 45 or 90 days to be over; whatever you choose.
