    I would categorise myself as a having a milder problem (morning wood regularly, problems with an erection only when I was also nervous or drunk, did cause premature ejaculation though).

    I was wondering about having sex. I initially decided to only give up PM, and I have no intention on giving up sex completely. But, I'm a few days in now, and I can feel myself really, really horny. And I was wondering if I replace M with just having as much sex as I can, then like, is that OK? I know some guys give up O as well, but giving up sex entirely seems like overkill for me personally.

    It would depend on what your goal is and how severely you are addicted to P. As I understand, a reboot is a tool that helps eliminate your dependency on P first and foremost, even if that means avoiding "normal" sex altogether for some period of time.

    There is such a thing as sex addiction. I would urge you to think about this, since it sounds like you'll just be transferring your addiction instead of living in recovery.
