Orgasm question for guys who've made it to the other side

I'm doing a reboot, but still want to have sexual activity with my wife.  I have not been masturbating, but my wife gives me hand jobs.  We can't have sex, because we just welcomed our second daughter home.

I'm reading conflicting things on this, and want to get some opinions.

Is this cool?  Does it set me back? I thought involvement with spouse/partner was "rewiring", but some people say orgasming during reboot delays the reboot. 

What are your thoughts?

Well, a reboot is a period not having sex so that your brain has a chance to reconnect from porn to humans. So if you are getting hand jobs from your wife you are rewiring, not rebooting. Which might be fine--If you are getting hard ons to a handjob, why are you rebooting anyway? The reboot is for men who have porn induced erectile dysfunction. I think you just need to learn more about the process and decide where you are and what you want to get out of it. Go here:  http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/content/basics-rebooting

Good luck!

Hey man,

So Ive watched that video and read the book. I assumed rebooting was a period of like a "purge" where you go without sex do "reset" things and your sexual trajectory.  Purging your mind, etc.  I'm having zero issues getting 100% hard with my wife...do you not think a reboot is necessary, just a rewire?

Yes, if you are getting a boner with your wife it doesn't even sound like you need to rewire--much less reboot. (Not to be rude, but not sure why you are here on this site if you are not having sexual problems). Just go have sex with her. Enjoy yourself! Congrats.
