I am also rebooting with my partner, we are regularly active, and I am very much on again and off again. Yes, taking some time off from your O's as Bibbity suggests can be very good and you might try that. The other thing you probably need to do is to reframe things.
I read this book a few years ago and my SO is reading it now: http://whymenfakeit.com/
It mostly deals with the personal stories of men with ED. No mention of PIED, but that is for another day, I guess. What I found interesting and ultimately useful about the stories was a common thread. Many times the couple would go to see the doctor. The man would bitch and moan about his ED. Then the Doc would turn to the woman, "What do you think?"
Invariably the response was something like, "I don't see what the problem is Doc. We make love all the time, we always have a great time. Sometimes he's not hard. Who cares? I love him."
To which the man responds, "I love her too, which is why I want to please her in bed."
To which the Doc should reply, "You already are, thank you and good luck."
So, Bibbity is right, stop focusing on your penis and just think about making love to your wife. Use your two biggest sex organs to your best advantage -- your skin and your brain.
I suggest to everyone who I can say such things to that the best thing for a relationship is naked bed time. Stark naked, every night, at least 15 minutes, much more if possible. Sex or no sex doesn't matter. Full body contact, snuggling, kissing and talking. Reconnect. After that the flannel jammies can go on or whatever. Stay connected and the sex will eventually take care of itself!
