So I can just never O, or what?

I notice that I don't feel shitty when I get to day 5 or so, and do whenever I'm below it. I might even get a fairly stable level of SR going in the near future, but does that mean I will just be captured by this forever? I feel kind of deprived. At some point I might want a partner and live a little. So do I have to watch this like a former heroin addict for the rest of my life? If every O punches me out for 5 days, plus destroying whatever long-term benefits there are, that just means I effectively have to avoid it forever.

Any opinion is valued, even if subjective, short or not well-worded.

Just don’t orgasm to porn. That’s what we’re focusing on here. When you said you get to five days does that mean five days without porn?

I've never been that into porn and only fall for it a few times a year. But an orgasm punches me out for like five days, no matter whether there was 'digital stimulation' or not. I have no energy and can't speak or deal with stuff. I'm basically in bed until day three, sometimes feel ok by day four and usually start being able to have a life by day five. To improve or talk to women it has to be more than a week or two in, which I rarely get to. This cycle has repeated like 100 times now.
It's clearly the recovery that does this. My mental state is my day count; that's it.
