Struggling with partial PIED, Should I have sex?!

I have been trying trying PMO for many years now. I had partial ED for a few years, sex was not as exciting and so on. My general porn consumption is at an all time low but definitely not gone. I went up to 60-70 days a couple of times and I definitely noticed an increase in erections even with my anxiety.
I had chances where I think I could have sex and I am unfortunately the kind that wants to have as many experiences as possible. But my primary goal is to kick that damn PIED as quickly as possible. I want to function down there like men before us did before rampant pornography.

I saw a video from one of the leaders of the community where he encourages dating and getting in relationships. Will sex slow progress down? Can anyone speak from experience?
