    Greetings all,

    I hope all are having a fantastic PMO free day. Well I am sure my question has been asked here over a thousand times, but me being myself I had to get a comprehensive answer with personal accounts and experiences. So, does sex hinder your reboot or does it speed it up?
    I am currently on a 53 day streak, with zero urges to view porn, however I am craving a sexual release and my libido seems to be growing day by day. I have been through longer streaks, but I feel like this time around things will be more challenging (not in terms of abstaining from porn, which I don’t miss by any sense of the word, or feel any connection to at this point, but in terms of keeping my tootsie roll in my pants instead of handing it around).
    Looking forward to your insights!

    Tbh theres this cute girl at my part time job. I work in a supermarket. We both just started working there: shes 17 and im 18. Ive caught her staring at me so much times, whether its from a far or up close. Ive talked to her a few times now and made her laugh. Im on day 23, and I feel like any day now it could escalate to sex before my eyes and I might not be ready to see If I should do it or not.
    I like her so much its crazy, everything about her makes me smile. This is the first girl ive genuinely liked since I was 14.

    Look it depends upon what you want, if your goal is to settle down and have a nice relationship then you should proceed, but if you're career oriented then you should probably just enjoy her company.

    You haven't mentioned if you're rebooting for reduced social anxiety or just General benefits.
    You'll experience good health if you're having sex 2-3 times a month, but if you're goal oriented, desperate, recovering from social Anxiety then yes sex hinders reboot.

    Why does sex mean slower reboot?
    Sex=better self esteem?

    It depends upon how frequent you're having sex, what outcome you want out of continuing with that, an orgasm is an orgasm, we as humans beings have limited energy, having sex you're not channeling your full energy, so it's healthy and normal but not the best.

    Thanks for the input. Well I have to say that both were my goals when I started this journey. As of now social anxiety is non-existent. Mood swings are at bay.
    The one million dollar question then I guess is: Can you balance self growth and keep reaching new highs consistently in your journey while having an active sex life (of course without porn and masterbation)?

    I think the point of doing NoFap is so you can become a better sexual partner. A lot of people masturbate and watch porn so much that it gives them trouble getting/maintaining an erection during sex. If you’ve overcome that and can successfully have sex, then you’ve accomplished the goal. I say go for it.

    Will I lose the benefits, highs and growth associated with complete abstention (i.e semen retention) that I have experienced though?
