Week 1 of the reboot -am I on the right track?

Hi all, further to my first post about my story, I have completed the first week of no pom. However I did engage in some sexual activity with my partner at the wknd which did not involve penetration, but oral sex & a very big climax (1 weeks worth of no release). Is it still ok to orgasm with a partner as I have been reading some posts where orgasm is advised against? My erection during our play was fairly good although not 100% i deffo needed the release though as 1 week of no release is fairly tough?
No porn though & tbf not really missing it!

It is actually easy. If you get progress, keep doing what you are doing. Progress in your case for example means you last longer, it feels better, your libido is good, maybe even great, you don't feel depressed afterwards, you don't fall into a flatline, you stay away from porn and most important of all - you do not regress.

As long as you get progress, you can keep having sex in an amount and way, that supports it. The best thing you can learn to do now is to have sex without orgasm, at least not every time you have sex. That allows you to have more sex overall and it also improves your self-control.

If your progress stalls or you regress though, you need to cut down the orgasms and maybe even the sex itself. It means your body is not ready and needs more rest. The point is, you adjust the way you have sex based on your own observations of your body.

I agree with Mart71.  I think "hard mode" is necessary and helpful in some cases, that being no sex, no porn, no MO, no O.  However, I never did hard mode.  When we talk about "rewiring" we are talking about rewiring our reward pathways to reward sex again, as opposed to porn.  Remember, some guys have is so bad they only can get a dopamine reward with porn, and never with sex.

Here is a word of caution however.  Getting rid of the porn is outstanding and necessary.  Having sex during the reboot--fine for some guys.  But, make sure you are not using pornographic images or memories during sex. I never had ED, but I had DE, meaning I could not O during sex, only with P.  When quitting, before I really understood what I was doing, I managed to O during sex, but only while thinking of pornographic images I had seen.  I had to learn to focus on, and only on, my partner.  Now I never watch porn, I don't think of it ever, and when I am with my partner I am physically and mentally only with her. 

Congrats on the 1 week.  Keep posting.  Reading posts and replying are part of my recovery, so thanks. 

Thanks guys, Its not been my case where Ive needed porn to get an erection or images in my head, rather that I have been failing to get 100% at anytime. I googled this which brought me to this blog.
I was aware that my porn habit was getting too much though. I also think that watching these porn guys with big tools that have the woman screaming in ecstasy (albeit it staged) has a negative impact on joe average, although this was what got me off?
Anyway, no more pom & I'll see if the erections improve, if not I might have to go the full withdrawl as you both mentioned( hopefully not though as my balls were busting from 7 days!)
Thanks again, I'll update further on
