Thanks for sharing, I love to read how my stories motivate / inspire others. I truly believe that when we surround ourselves with right people that have struggled and are in the process of conquering this immensely difficult battle, we all benefit from it!
I partially agree with your statement about sex: yes, we as addicts have unfortunately permanently build up an unhealthy relationship with sex. But not just "sex" but super highly dopamine driven artificial sex that has influenced our relationships with normal / healthy sex: masturbation with no external porn (like) stimuli and sex with a real / normal looking woman that you've built up a relationship / connection with.
And I also agree that abstaining for a couple of weeks or months to really lets your brain recover from the overload of porn induced issues. However I am also a believer that (maybe after a while) you can still recover from the porn addiction and still allowing yourself to have the normal form of sex I just mentioned. But we always need to be aware that we keep it healthy. For example: even if I feel I want to, I hardly masturbate two days in a row, I know I need to let my brain give a rest and wait it out. In the past I sometimes uncontrollably still MO-ed two, three days in a row or even multiple times a day without porn and felt this was not good. Now, somehow it just goes naturally: I now have days or even a week of no need to MO and when I MO it's sometimes just as enjoyable or even more than when I used to MO with porn. But without all the negative effects afterwards. So sensitisation is getting back
