i?ve been going through a flatline for 2 days now it is not as severe as many people?s; my libido is down, my penis shrunk a little but i can still admire the beauty of a girl, i still wake up with morning erections; so my question is: how can i know that i can have sex again? i?m not dating right now but in the future if i have the change to have sex how can i know that i?m ready?

You can't. Stop trying to know everything. There are things in life that can surprise us - embrace that. The best thing you can do is to only attempt intimacy with somebody who makes you feel safe and comfortable. Don't do it with strangers - that will damage your confidence and mean nothing anyway. Establish a relationship with somebody so that if it doesn't work the first time, there can be a second time. A lot of people have anxiety with a new person anyway, so having sex for the first time with anybody can fail and what doe that prove? Too many people treat sex like a physical accomplishment, as if we should be able to act on command with anybody. Most people can't do that. Most people need to feel secure in an intimate moment - a recovering addict even more so. Why not try to meet somebody first? Somebody you enjoy spending time with. Sex can happen when the time is right, but don't plan for sex. Let things evolve naturally.

thank you malando!! i asked because i have a relationship with this girls, we are not dating but it is a intimate relationship but she travels a lot and by the end of the month she will return and we usually have sex when she is in town and like i said on my other post on the porn addiction section it was in 2016 that i had my first ED my erection would come and go and although i was able to ejaculate it took me forever to get there so i stopped watching porn for around 3 weeks and it got better; i was able to have sex within that short period and in about 6 months it went back to normal but i have to confess i didn?t stopped with porn completely and i was mastubation with my imagination and real memories too, things seemed normal but last week i desided to stop with porn completelly and it hasn?t been hard to stay away from porn at least until now; but since last friday i?m not as horny as i was and i couldn?t get a full erection although i was able to ejaculate by masturbation with my imagination and plus i?m having morning erection everyday since friday so i believe my case is not that serious! that is my case what do you think?
