    I just found out about this website 3 days ago and immediately stopped fapping. The first 2 days were a piece of cake, but Today is a nightmare. But that's not my primary focus in this post.

    My question concerns sex with my GF.
    I presume it does not fall under the category of unhealthy sexual behavior and I don't have to avoid it, right?

    My PMO an MO addiction have caused some problems in our relationship. After fapping 4-5 a day I didn't even think about having sex with her.
    So I am hoping that not fapping will improve our sex life and relationship as a whole.

    Sorry for this noob post, but I'm quite desperate.

    Thanks for any advice you want to contribute

    I'm not an expert, but as far as I'm concerned, you don't have to avoid sex with your gf UNLESS you have any form of PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction). If so, you have to abstain from sex as well for some time to cure it.

    Congratulations for recognizing you have a problem, and diving into the solution with abandon.

    Real consensual sex with another person is not automatically bad, or good. It depends on you and how you react. Some find that it retrains the brain in positive sexual behavior. Others find that their urge to use porn increases after any kind of orgasm, and choose to refrain for the whole 90 days. Then there's everythig in between.

    It usually helps if your gf/wife knows about your addiction and reboot. Depending on the length and severity of your addiction, you may start to act really weird in the next few weeks. Increased irritability, depression, and anxiety are common. She can help you with that.

    I'd say go for it, it's the natural way of things and really is our goal in the end. I hooked up with a girl a few months ago and after that all I could think of was her, not some random person on a pixelated screen. That seems healthy in my opinion.
