    I don’t even know what reboot this is, but I’m on Day 2. My longest reboot was about 4 weeks and that was over a year ago. Between now and then, I’ve been with women, but I wasn’t getting as hard (80-85%). But when I watched porn, I would get fully erect (100%). Is this PIED?

    I spoke with a doctor and he diagnosed it as performance anxiety and didn’t dismiss the possibility of PIED.

    I’m just feeling really guilty and frustrated, wishing I hadn’t been indulging in PMO so much.

    Guilt will help you 0%.
    Congratulations, good luck, and yes, it's definitely PIED.
    You are erect and comfortable in your skin when you are alone because you don't think about how you may: perform/look/seem/come off like etcetera. All alone with fake "partner" you stop judging yourself (at least, in the moment) and focus on your desire.
    One solution is to masturbate all your life, the other is to try learning about how to feel better about yourself. How to feel more comfortable in company of other people. If you stop masturbating and date that girl, you might actually feel that sex is better and better every time, as you'll get more accustomed to that. If you go back and forth between real sex and porn industry with your banana in your hand, you may running in that circle forever, like a hamster. Make a choice and stick to it. Porn or real?

    I can’t afford to keep rebooting, so naturally my choice is real. I’m at a point in my life where I should really be mingling and mixing it up with women. Hopefully I can return to action once the quarantine ends. Thanks a bunch.

    Very good, i don't mean to repeat things like a parrot, but I want to underline again that the way for success with women is through focus on how you feel, how kind and generous you are with yourself - not through women. Women and everything else will follow your attitude towards yourself.
