>>34683087Death-grip refers to the fact that people who fap a lot (and don't have regular sex) tend to grip their dick very hard, so that the pressure it experiences is a lot higher than what the average vagina would provide.
Even though real sex has other sensations than pressure (wetness, warmth, sound, emotional connection), this perceived lack of physical sensation can make sex unsatisfying.
The no-fap period is intended to "reset" the need for that higher pressure.
So death-grip is a physical thing, unrelated to the psychological / desperation issue you have. Because death grip only becomes a problem when actually having sex, whereas you now have a problem just making contact, it might make sense to focus on the latter first, and give lower priority to the former.
So you could consider masturbating a bit, just make sure not to grip too hard, not to do it too often (once or twice per week maybe), and keep away from porn.
