I don’t know if it’s obvious or not but my problem is that I’m having regular sex but I’m still addicted to porn and want to quit. I’m assuming regular sex is still okay so long as it’s not porn and masturbation?
Regular, consensual sex is surely the aim (the dream?) for us. It’s more than Ok as long as it’s healthy for everyone involved. I’ve been there, having sex but still using overusing porn, and that isn’t healthy.

In my book, whether or not sex counts comes down to its context: If it’s for a genuine love, with whom you would be content to live out your days, then that puts things in a better light, and if you have taken her as your wife that’s totally good and ideal. If it’s a random hookup, it probably should count as relapse and I would for myself. Compulsive sexual behavior by another avenue. People’s standards on this app differ. If it’s an escort, it absolutely should count as relapse and be regarded as a dangerous new metastasis of the addiction we are facing.
