    Hi all,

    I've been relatively active over there on reddit, but decided to start checking this forum out a bit as well. I'm looking for some advice, experience, encouragement for what I'm dealing with now. As the title suggests, I've had very bad PIED for most of my twenties (29M). Right now I am on day 164 no PMO, but have been having relatively regular sex, with different partners. I've probably gone 14 days or so here and there with no orgasm during this reboot, but am probaly averaging sex/orgasm every week.

    As the title would also suggest I have been using sildenafil for most of these sexual experiences, although I was ecstatic to find that I was able to get an erection 2or 3 times without any drugs. Anyways, I had sex with a woman I was casually seeing 2 weeks ago, and haven't had an orgasm since (except for 1 wet dream). Since then, I have started becoming romantically involved with a very good friend and somebody whom I care deeply about...but, as you may have guessed the PIED is back. Even with sildenafil. I'm getting nothing, and where sex was increasing my libido just a month ago, it feels like just as I am igniting this relationship, I'm flatlining hard. My morning erections have gone down considerably whereas a month ago I was full mast just about every morning, and often throughout the night. Despite being very attracted to this woman physically and emotionally, I don't have a sex drive, and to make matters worse I have a very limp dick.

    Anyways, has anybody else experienced sinking into a flatline after sex with a partner. Throughout my reboot, I have not flatlined really at all. Have I just been prolonging the inevitable by using Sildenafil and not committing to 90 days hard mode? I also feel like by engaging sexually with somebody I care about, nerves could be an issue.

    My ideas for moving forward...
    1) Get off the Zoloft. My anxiety is pretty under control now, thanks mainly to having gotten my porn addiction under control.
    2) Communicate with my partner...It's going to be hard and certainly a chip on my pride, ego, but she's great and I'm certain she'll be supportive.
    3) I still plan on pursuing sex and using the Sildenafil I have, but maybe I need to start planning a time when we'll be apart to do a full 90 day reboot.

    Any other thoughts, suggestions, or experiences you've had that can help me in my quest to regain my sexual health?

    Sorry for the novel, and thanks for reading
