Have I relapsed?

    In need of advice guys,

    I've indulged in some triggering behaviour...

    I got chatting to someone in private chat via social media- things turned to sex and things got heated and we exchanged intimate pictures of one another...

    I was touching myself and did gain an erection- however I stopped things before going to far and I did not orgasm.

    does this count as a relapse :(
     
  2. IMHO, yes. What you did is called sexting - a form of porn.

    Dude, be careful with edging. The constant dopamine drip is worse than just rubbing one out quickly and being done with it.

    Now I feel really foolish! I guess thought I had done well because I didn't orgasm- :(

    I think you have to see it for yourself.Some of just let it all go when we get it too hard on ourselves while the rest of us take it more serious after each relapse because they're kind of strict and they set their badge to day 1 if anything of the sort happens.
    It's really up to you!

    Thanks for the advice guys- I don't know if I should reset or not- I did send pictures of myself that were pornographic in nature and receive some in return- however- it wasn't "edging" I didn't masturbate until I was hard then stop- it was a spontaneous erection because I was feeling more aroused due to no PMO for 15 days... I also didn't orgasm so I feel like- If I avoid doing this again- it shouldn't be to bad?
