Questions about curing PIED and fantasies?

Hello,
I have probably PIED. I am not sure, but when I watch porn I can get a boner easily. I can also get a boner when I have no sex drive (it took than a bit longer) and without cialis. Without watching porn or reading sex stories it is very difficuilt and mostly it works only with 2,5mg cialis daily or I have a good day and a nice fantasie (very rare).

I have quit with porn videos since the end of may. After that I realised that I also often use pics and erotic texts to make me horny. So at the end of june I quitted also with that stuff.
At the end of August I my libido rised and the sex drive got better. The ED was still there. But a few weeks later both is again terrible.

I am now really disappointed and I also realised that I have often sex fantasies and imaginations and also I fapped sometimes because of that.

All in all I had probably 1x per week sex during all that time and I also fapped but without watching porn or reading sex stories.

My questions:
-Can I have sex during the rebooting time?
-Can I fap during the rebooting time?
-Can I have sex fantasies or will they work the same as porns?
-->because I have read that our brain can't differentiate between fantasies/ imagination and the real world/ porn watching...

-What else should I consider?
-->becauce I have never really dealt with "nofap", not using porn" and all this stuff. In may I watched one youtube video and then I started with not using porn and nofap. Later I thought, that nofap makes no sense and only porns are bad.

Thanks.

Hello realficker,
I'm too a bit confused at the moment because I have also been able to quite easily stay away from so called real porn but still the low libido/pied problems persist. I think indeed that it could be the fantasizing and the porn substitutes that is preventing the healing process. E.g. when I was in my mid teens I managed to get a boner easily from imagination alone and have a consistent libido, when nowadays it's always a struggle. This is probably because of desensitization of D2 receptors. I think we should let our brains heal from the dopamine overload by abstaining from fantasies too. I have btw been interested in something called the No Arousal Method on yourbrainrebalanced.com. I suggest you check it out!

My questions:
-Can I have sex during the rebooting time? Yes, you can. This is called 'rewiring'. Some people need to give themselves a complete break from all sexual stimulation for a period. Some don't.
-Can I fap during the rebooting time? Yes, you can. You mustn't masturbate to porn of any kind; videos, pictures, sexting, stories, porn fantasy.
-Can I have sex fantasies or will they work the same as porns? See above. Porn fantasy is more or less the same as watching porn. Don't do it!
-->because I have read that our brain can't differentiate between fantasies/ imagination and the real world/ porn watching...

Thx abc987 and mousemat1.
I have restarted the reboot with stronger rules and also more knowledge about everything.

I also started a journal here: http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=19214.0

I hope that will it make easier for me to stay commited, especially for the goal to not fanasize about sex and so on.

I am open for other tips and recommendations. :)

See you
