Guys I wanted to ask and I hope I find a reasonable science based answer cuz I don’t know if I should restrict myself from having sex or not before full recovery

Agree having sex with a partner is the right way to channel the drive than on a screen

Having a physical relationship with someone is very different from having a relationship with your computer/phone screen. You have a connection with someone rather than obsessing with a porn actress who doesn't even know you exist. Just be careful about it. Sex itself can still be addictive and is different for everyone. But no, I would not count real sex as a relapse.

Form the research I’ve done, you don’t have to restrict it. It all comes down to whether or not you are thinking of porn at the same time. Also have to be careful because porn can distort your personal feelings and expectations of what sex is
