    Ok, so last night I had a sexual encounter with a girl. As you can see, I was/am 12 days into my current reboot and I thought I would try things out with a girl. For some background information I am a currently single male with PIED and have had many unfortunate, non successful sexual encounters with girlfriends and flings alike. I thought, given the progress I have been making (my streaks have been gradually going up in length of time), I will put myself in this situation with this girl I am very attracted to and had made out with in the past.

    Well, when we kissing for a while and she unbuttoned my pants I got super nervous, grabbed her hand and told her I felt that we should not rush into this. This is the second time in a few months I did this (last time it was with a different girl). I did feel this way, but I also told her this so I wouldn't have to go through the embarrassment of me not being able to get it up, even with her trying. I'm almost positive that I would not have been able to get it up, given the fact there was no response down there even before the unbuttoning, while we were kissing.

    So all in all, given the predicament I am in with PIED and the accompanied nervous aversion to even try to have sex, I am wondering if I should just go into complete hard mode during this reboot and not put my self in sexual circumstances for the duration of the 90 days. I have a chance to be intimate with her again and with other girls as well, but it means nothing if my tool doesn't work.

    As usual, I would like some advice and/or suggestions on this topic of mine and I thank anyone in advance for reading and replying.
    Stay Strong.

    I think you should actually try to not get in these situations, twice already you have been in this predicament with no fruit to bear. As you said none of this will mean nothing if your tool dosent work (according to you). So take it slow and go for 90 days depraved, it could help your pied. On one hand you have two instances where the reboot was not enough to cure pied on the other you havent given enough time without any interference for a reboot. Whichever you choose dont repeat the same mistakes and dont take too much time to decide, because 90 days can take months or worse, years to achieve or it could take simply 90 days if you start right now and here.

    Also, if your worried about the girls my suggestion is to not worry too much about trying to maintain a sexual rel. w/ them. There are plenty out there and you can always try re establishing rel. these once the 90 days are done with

    Hello mate, your situation is very similar to mine. I am also single with PIED what i found out during random bar sexual encounter. I dont know how it was for you but for me that feeling when I couldnt get it hard while the girl was super-excited with utterly soaked panties, she wanted me there so much, but I somehow wasnt able ... that feeling of helplessness ... that memory of using fuckin finger so she was not disappointed instead of my Captain, that fuckin resign to work... nope ... that's the feeling I never ever want to experience anymore.
    When it was my 12th day, I was thinking the same thing as you that it might be good idea to have normal sex, and I was quite confident that I could do it, but thankfully I have resisted. I could probably do it, I was even able to get very hard just to memory of that girl (and her body) from bar that didnt arouse me at all when she was laying next to me. But...
    ... later when I was looking on some vanilla soft porn pictures, that made me hard, suddenly next in gallery was little bit different (more graphic) and instantly brought me memories and fantasies of graphic porn I used to watch and that sent to my brain much stronger sexual signal than previous soft normal pictures, telling me that I am still far away from being totally rebooted.

    So long story short, until just being with the girl do not give you strongest sexual impulse than anything else PIED is not cured and I wouldnt stop or even slow the great recovery you are doing. What's the point. You want to get rid of PIED as soon as possible so you can have normal life with normal woman/women. Think about it! For example my goal is to be able to get rock hard just from kissing a girl that should actually be enough impulse for healthy man; it's something that I was able to do when I was a normal teenager and I cant do any more but hopefully not for long ;-)

    Yes, you both bring up very good points. So it seems I should just go complete hard mode for the 90 days and then see what happens at the end of it. Damn, this is going to be a very tough 76 more days. But, I want to take only that much more time, so I will use that as my fuel to get these 90 days done. After that full 90 days, I will come back to the topic and see where I am at and my next step should be much clearer then. Plus I am sick of putting myself in these embarrassing situations.

    Its long but very worthwhile in the end! I'm so glad my PIED is gone! But it might be easier with my wife, I don't have the stress of dating or having sex with a new sex partner.

    But definitely, don't get yourself in a situation right now. Wait until you feel that your brain doesn't feed on porn ideas. As long as your mind is filled with sex thoughts, PIED might rear its ugly head.

    PIED is basically your brain having sex, instead of having your body doing it. Your brain needs constant stimuli given by porn and masturbation at your own pace to keep the interest and erection...we become addicted to artificial sexual stimulation to keep an erection.
    Real sex is about real stimuli, that is not as fast and constant as porn stimuli.

    So, its all about re-learning how to real sex, with disconnecting the brain. I'm not saying to be emotionless with the girl. I mean its like the erection just happens!

    I took some L-arginine, some B-complex vitamins, soem odorless garlic, some zinc, some maca-ginseng combo for a few months at the beggining of my reboot. All ingredients that help a lot with blood flow.

    Also, in all cases, before your get ready for penetration, just make sure you make the girl orgasm once orally, with your fingers, etc. It goes in a long way to reduce your stress, increase her arousal, increases your arousal, etc. It might be better to be with the same GF or Fk-friend (although I don't like the term).

    yes, Ikindaknew, perhaps friend with benefits is a better term than fk-friend. Either way this has been very helpful advice and I know now what I must do thanks to everyone in this thread. Now let me ask you this,
    you also chose to go without any sexual contact with a woman during your reboot as well? and were you married at the time? What did you say to your wife?

    I don't mean to pry, I am just asking these questions because it gives me confidence to see someone be in a similar or perhaps more difficult situation than mine and come out successful. Please answer these questions at your comfort level.
