mild PIED - jerk off or not?

Iam 29 years old and iam quite sure i have a mild PIED. I've been jerking off to porn since 15 years on a daily. Sometimes i spent 6 hours opening porn tabs, and the porn iam watching has gotten quite extreme. I recently broke up with my girlfriend and have had some dates where i just could not get hard. Now i have an affair but i realise that iam never "rock hard". I have withdrawn from fapping for a good 2 weeks now, although i could not withdraw from porn completely. Somehow i caught myself watching porn out of a habbit for one or two hours every other day. I just realised though i could jerk off just thinking about my new girl. This would help me withdrawing from all the porn shit i guess.
Can i do that in the process of rebooting or should i withdraw completely from any self induced sexual intercourse?

Also another thing that came to my mind. Iam actually able to have sex and stuff i just dont enjoy it that much because iam not that hard.
I thought about getting some viagra or cyalis to have sex with a rock hard dick. The thoughts of that might arouse me the next time without it and i get out of the mind spiral, what do you guys say?

Thanks in advance

if you want to keep having PIED then jerk off all you want. If you want to get rid of PIED, abstain from everything including sex.

After completely withdrawing from porn and other sexual screen images, I have been able to get aroused and masturbate just by thinking/looking at a real girl, which I wasn't able to do during my addiction days. This is a first step of some form of recovery and it's a testing method, however you should not be doing this at all during or after the recovery because again 'masturbation' is another form of artificial stimulus for the body.

I would suggest that you lay off sex, masturbation and most importantly any form of sexual thoughts for at least several months before you try to have sex. I have been able to lay of sexual images but not sexual thoughts which hampers my natural sexual response.
