    It's not a no, but it can slow recovery.

    Kind of my thoughts, I want to do this right. But when I go a week without PMO I enjoy and appreciate the act on such a deeper level. It solidifies our marriage and relationship as we move through this shit storm. But I also want to look long term, I need to rewire my brain. that's why I was seeking advice because my judgement with this subject sucks. Thank you for your reply. I am an electrician also, hope your staying busy.

    I have to keep my mind busy today, the day after sex is always a trigger for me.

    I have amazing sex with my wife last night. I went 9 days without PMO before we had sex, I wanted her so bad, she looked so good. I could see her filled with fulfillment, or at least what looked like it, it was perfect.

    I just wish it didn't take 10 days for my brain to react like that. anyways that's the goal, and ill keep fighting!

    I think for now I will keep going 7-10 days no PMO and make love to my wife ( if she chooses). As long as it feels healthy I think it will help mend our marriage and don't think it will impede my recovery too much.

    I think it's a good idea.

    Have sex once a week

    If you don't have a boner, don't worry about it and don't force it. Try again next week. Ask your wife not to give you a blow job or hand job for now. You want to rewire for the vagina. Also don't Masturbate while having sex. If you don't have an orgasm, don't worry about it and try again next week.

    I think if you relapse once or twice a day by having sex with your wife, then your on the road to success.

    Isn't that the point of this, or was it to become a sex less robot? Its all about better relationships with real people. I can't wait till my counter is a PM counter and not a PMO counter.

    Congrats bro! You did well.

    I half agree. Tell her no HANDS or you may relapse back into porn. Hell that is a great Idea, I am bring that home. My wife will have no choice if you know what I mean.

    What really turns me on is the love and connection

    During love making, if your not hard, try and cuddle her and look into her eyes. Just kiss her and talk to her. Talk about how much you love her. Take the time to smell her body and her hair. When your fully relaxed, I find my erections come back again.

    It might take half an hour or an hour for the erections to come back again but it doesn't matter. You have all the time in the world. Do not rush things. If nothing is working, try again next week.

    I am very much on "team sex with your wife is good."

    I think porn is a vicious cycle where a lack of intimacy causes you to abuse porn which causes you to push further away which diminishes intimacy further. In a healthy relationship based on trust and respect, sex can push you closer together. A virtuous cycle in place of a viscous one.

    Assuming everything is working physically I think sex with the wife is a good thing.

    I have no science, research or statistics to back this up; but it has helped me. If it doesn't work for you, do something else.

    Imagine if you became addicted to having sex with your wife like you did/do PMO. Think of the possibility it could have for your relationship. You may endup becoming shut ins.

    However, one of the worse things my wife unknowing does is reject me in the morning. I'd be poking her but with my manhood, biting her and kissing her and she would shoo me away and tell me to go take care of myself in the shower. Being extremely horny and needing one cum, I'd just go to the guest bathroom while she lays in bed and edge for 30+ mins to tgirls. Chaser effect I guess.

    I have a healthier solution. I'm just going to MO right next to her. She use her vibrator right next to me when she wants a quickie without sex to put herself to bed. Who knows what her response will be, hopefully positive.

    I am married.
    Was having sex 1-2 times per week

    Was pmo'ing 2-3 times per day.

    I decided to quit PM.

    I am now enjoying sex more. We're having sex more often.

    Sex between husband and wife is good. PMO is not good. That's how I look at it

    I agree, my main objective is to have a deeper connection with my wife. Since I have pretty much have always PMO with every relationship, i didn't really know where to start. Since then we have made really great progress. Sex is tbe beat i have ever had! But I still have to wait at least 4 days between O's to not loose a hard on when we move really slow with no hands and very little movement, if any. Because when I loose it, she knows I MO even of I didnt. That give me anxiety and then it's gone for the night. I know I need to build her trust back, as well as some healing on my own. It's definitely a process, one you cannot shortcut or speed up. But I think at the end we both can find something that's been lost for a long time, something that's better and deeper that we ever imagined. At least I hope we can.

    Get some penis pills, a quarter will do amazing things. Shy or drunk you will perform. Even if your only packing 4 inches it will be made of steel and it's a major confidence boost!

    Did it once and wore my wife out after 45 mins of intercourse. She was exhausted, I was high on the fact that I completely dominated her expectations.

  16. My SO decided to go hard mode no PMO but we are still having sex and he still wants me to O. He stops himself before Oing. Sex lasts a lot longer and has gone from 1-2x wk to just about daily. He says his daily urges have been manageable as well. He is about a month P and M free but 16days O free. He's also hoping not to flatline but we will see..
