Porn Recovery Knowledge PlatformMarried and Navigating Abstinence Questions
This page summarizes a community-reported personal experience. It is not medical evidence or professional advice.
A married community member asked how long abstinence should last and when marital relations could resume. Such questions sit outside what a community can responsibly answer — they involve personal and medical considerations best discussed with a partner and, where relevant, a clinician. The community’s typical response is to avoid fixed rules.
