Can you reboot without Porn but with occasional masterbation?

has anyone here, had a full ish recovery with giving up porn but occasionally masterbating?

I am 63 days in and feel my head is much clearer then it was, a little up and down as the days pass but for sure better. Libido has increased slightly but still pretty low.

has anyone else had a great recovery from just giving up porn and nothing else?

I think it will take more time because your DOPAMINE levels are partially replenished with masturbation. But thats just my opinion based on vidoes i already saw.

Its different for everybody. Generally speaking, masturbating during a reboot SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. Overmasturbating (besides porn) is what brought you your ED and those 2 are tightly connected.

I have found for me personally that after I MO even without the "porn" influence that my desire to look at porn increases.  I am going to try to without for now and see how that works.

But do u guys have... like if u don't MO for several days (for me, 12 days) ur libido will stay pretty high and u just can't fall into sleep and  can not concentrate to do other daily tasks?

I do about 2-3 times per week depending on whether or not my wife is attentive to me. My goal is not the big O. My goal is to exercise my tool so I can have better erections while my wife pulls her attitude together. So, I do not ejaculate and I do not use any material other than my wife on my mind. And she does not know. Her attitude is based on improper ideas of the male libido. I am left with a feeling of needing her and she is simply not there for me. Her "duty call" is coming to an end as I have recommended she get 1-2 orgasms per week by my hand in order for her to enjoy us being together sexually. At this point since she cannot have coital sex our sex life is boring to me and I am willing to work to get her to orgasm while her satisfying me is...lackluster.
During weeks when she is ill or just tied up in business and illness and ignores my needs, I just get out the action and sci-fi movies to put my mind in another mood so I won't think of sex. Books work to and other material that is not sex related.
