    As I mentioned in a previous thread, I am comitted to abstain from porn and masterbation going forward... I haven't decided for how long yet but certainly the forseeable future and hopefully forever with porn.

    Ive been out of the country for about a month, but before I left I had met a really sweet and pretty girl and we hab gone on 2 dates... nothing happened between us physically but I felt a connection even though I was masterbating at the time. Recently shes been sending me messages saying she wants to meet up when im home to talk about my trip.. so..great! Having a woman in my life should certainly keep me motivated to keep my reboot going. My only concern about this is that things will progress quickly since there is already a physical and emotional attraction between us..(not a concern most guys have lol) Ive had issues in the past getting and maintaining an erection (mostly with strangers ive just met mind you, who I have less of a connection with during sex) this was likely due to my constant masterbation and unrealistic fantasies.

    My question is, if things work out well between us, and I feel sexually aroused enough from a few weeks of nofap that I think I can perform during sex, should I go for it? I would hate to miss out on a good opportunity to boost my confidence as well as possibly build a relationship with a woman which has eluded me for so long because Im so set on avoiding all forms of sexual stimulation for 90 days.

    Thoughts?

    Just go for it.

    Regarding sex, this is different for everyone. Some go hardmode (which as you described: No porn, no masturbation, no orgasms.) If you do not wanna do hardmode, you can choose to add sex. I have chosen the same path to rewire my brain to my girlfriend.

    If you get the opportunity, enjoy the moment :)

  3. You could always be a "gentleman" and tell her that you'd like to wait a bit before taking it to that level. There's nothing wrong with not rushing things. Plus that would give you additional time to recover and get to know her better. Build up that sexual tension a bit and she'll want you that much more. :D
     
  4. I don't want to throw you off your game, but you may want to look at where your mind is when you are having trouble maintaining (or just look back at past experiences). Are you with your partner mentally, or are you fantasizing to keep an erection. Big important difference there.

    in the past all of my "successful" encounters envolved my mind drifting away into porn/fantasy land which allowed me to stay hard but didnt allow me to connect with my partner. Ive always been a frequent masterbater so maybe Im feeling overly confident about the power of NoFap in the short term but id think that after a few weeks of not touching myself I will have built up enough tension that normal sex would seem appealing again, especially who someone who I genuinely like. I think im going to play it by year and see how things go. Im not going to restrict myself from sex if it seems right.. it could be the perfect opportunity to rewire my sexuality towards real sex rather than masterbating with my imagination.
     
  6. Yeah, the drifting has been the problem with me. Without fantasizing, I have PIED. My wife and I agreed a while ago that if I cannot concentrate only on her, I need to pause or outright stop. It's not fair to her or myself and my recovery to be making pornos in my head when I'm with the love of my life.

    I'm not better yet. After 35 years, my rewiring is going to take a while.

    I wish you a very happy date!
