    Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum and I wanted to describe my rather unique (I think?) situation. I am 36 years old and have had good sexual relationships in the past. My last real relationship prior to my current one ended 10 years ago and after that I went over 5 years without being in a long-term relationship until about 4 and 1\2 years ago. In between my current relationship and the last one, I had two sexual encounters, both of which lasted all of about 30 seconds. My main source of sexual release during this time was pmo.

    My current fiance and I have been together for about 4 and 1\2 years. The first time we tried to have sex, I could not achieve an erection. This terrified me and to my horror, it continued to happen several times. The few times I was able to achieve an erection was when we would watch porn together and I would always orgasm within 30 seconds. At the time, I did everything I could think of to remedy the problem. I did internet research, saw a doctor, and even went to a psychologist for a short time. Eventually we just stopped having sex and have been living together and raising our daughter in a loving but sexless relationship. We both want to start getting intimate again but, when we tried about a month ago I once again had the same problem. I had gone back to porn over the last 4 years again as it has been that long since we have had real sex.

    I know that my problem is most likely due to PIED and have abstained from masturbation and watching porn since May 24. My fiance and I have had two sexual encounters since that time that did not involve penetration but did involve me orgasming.

    How long should I go with this whole NoFap thing before attempting intercourse? Should I reset my start date because of our sexual encounters or consider May 24 to be my start date since that is the last time I used porn and masturbation?

    If you are going for 90 days with no PMO or just no PM? You could discuss it with her and decide what works best for you both.
