After 110 days without porn and only one m i relapsed to porn. I masturbated last week when I was away from my girlfriend and we had sex 5 every day as we would be apart for a while. I now feel pretty shit and my penis is shriveled and lifeless again. How long will this last? My sleep is poor my anxiety is up im irritable and im getting cravings. Too frequent sex with my woman always puts me in a flatline for around 5 to 7 days,we see each other again Friday but we planned to take a month break from penetrative sex and i just give her oral. Question is will i be back at square one again with withdrawals? Everything was just starting to come good ie sex drive increased genital size much larger consistent morning woods sleeping better etc.
Feeling like crap after relapse

The things you describe like having poor sleep, I can definitely connect with. It is that huge dopamine buzz for me that then messed me up for days after. I found also that I became much more angry and irritable after because I was angry with myself subconsciously for what I thought was screwing up.
I think it's great if you can continue to have good physical sex and be connected without fantasy or compulsive thought. That is the path to healing. How long it takes is in truth forever I think. Don't let that discourage you though. It's just the reality of life, to always keep learning and growing. Whenever something seems static or you want it to be, that is where the addiction can creep back in as it's a means to disengage from difficult feelings and life situations.
You're doing extremely well to go so many days. Keep on man.
Peace.
