Go from PMO to PM? Quitting hardmode.

I don't know how bad your addiction was and if you have problems with PIED or not, so it's hard to give you advice. I've been addicted to compulsive binge PMO for nearly 2 decades (binge MB being even worse problem than P in my case). I tried all kinds of "half measures" to control my compulsive MB behavior without success, so for me hardmode reboot first and abstention from MB after is the only choice left. If you don't have problems with compulsive MB or PIED, hardmode might not be needed at all. That being said, since you've already done 49 days in hardmode, I'd try to complete 90 days streak to strengthen will power and then try to establish controlled MB routine without P or better have regular sex if possible. That's just my 2 cents.

 

I think if you just have sex for the sex itself "I don't even care if its a partner that I love its just I want physical contact" it is probably as bad as porn, and it may lead to further relapse. So try find someone you care about, you love, then the sex will be natural and healthy.
