PIED comes and goes...WTF!

I’ve been having a lot of sex these past few weeks but my erection strength varies and has lost some strength. Is this normal in the recovery process?

Around day 90, I had sex successfully with a reliable and strong erection. That week, I was having reliable and strong erections with multiple women (been dating a lot). Then a week later, I was with this hot girl and it became unreliable and lost erection strength. Then I took a week off seeing girls. When I got back, I have continued this unreliable and not so strong erections. Last night and two weeks on, was with this girl I’ve been seeing more often and erections have been the most reliable, but past two night I can’t get above the 80% of erection strength, so been using cockrings to allow for PIV.

Important to note that when I get home after being with a girl and I gently play with myself, I can get 100% hard in a matter of seconds, but with a girl it takes a lot more time and can’t get to 100%. Also, I wanted to phase out the use of viagra, but this ED has made me doubt my abilities.

Has anyone been through this before and help me manage expectation and/or make sense of this?

 

I get that too much sex is bad for someone recovering from PIED, but don’t really get how I should rewire but without having sex often. Or perhaps its the orgasms that are the problem as they cause a dopamine rush. I think I’ll try to rewire with sex but just not orgasm...if thats even possible to hold ejaculating. Urge to O is often strong and women love it

 

Last night had sex with this girl I’ve been sort of seeing, though we agree there is no future together. My erections were really great again. That was one week of absence. Lasted for like 45 mins. Should’ve stopped but blew my load like crazy. Felt bad afterwards. I think it’s important to O less.

Seeing a girl tonight that loves when I O. She dumped her ex because he had DE....touchy subject. Think O once a week is good for now. Maybe extend it to once every two weeks.

 

I think it is likely performance anxiety but it’s more due to me doubting my unreliable erections. If I felt confident I could get an erection, then I think I would. Once I’m erect I’m a fffff stallion and in control....objectively speaking. Important to take sex slowwwwww. I used to rush it at fear of losing erection and I would suuuuuck

 

Too much sex, but then it means penis stops working properly. Perhaps the refractory period is several days for the time being, so best not to force it.
