    we're not - reason is that I didn't have a big P or M habit going, so 90 days hard mode with no sex at all seemed to me like the minimum serious shot at a reboot.

    Great benefit so far, is that I've come to see my challenge is about rediscovering love without sex, and really projecting that feeling, and letting my wife feel really super loved by me.

    jamesrobert,
    you makes some really good points. I have decided that I will be doing the 30 day living like a monk in hard mode, however is the Mrs wants to make love I will oblige. Its always been healthy and I guess because my relationship pre dates all my PMO issues then I feel its part and parcel of a loving and healthy relationship. See my new post on therapy I am about to write and keep up the good work my friend

    Day 9 eh?
    Man I don't know about you but waking up is getting difficult
    The urge is the srongest while waking up and going to bed (at least for me)
    Dreams are now trying to replace P, M and the Os. I have noticed this before when over coming addictions. At around two weeks or so I start dreaming very vividly about the things I am trying to give up. Sometimes to the point of actually feeling the effects upon waking.
    Nocturnal emmisions are a big obstacle around this point, it hasn't happened yet but it has been close. Luckily the mantra "PMO is not an option" has a place in my subconscious now so it snapped me out at the last moment.
    How is everyone faring?
    Does anyone else experience dreams that lead to a nocturnal emmision? And any tips for that?
    Stay strong and vigilant people!

    Oh, and master in response to do we make love during a reboot: we do not personally.
    I am no expert on this as I am new to this site so others may tell you differently but it would seem appropriate to talk to your wife about abstaining with you just for maybe the 30 days so you can get a strong handle on things. But it would also be wise to not make your wife feel as if she is being punished and neglected over this. Just like men women use sex as a way to feel appreciated loved ect. So I believe she would benefit from joining you but just trust what is best for the sake of your marriage.
