Should I count it as relapse?

If I did that, it would be a reset, for sure.

 

The question is are you better than you were 22 days ago? If the answer is yes, then no, you haven't relapsed. Don't get caught up in technicalities. If you aren't fapping(edited for spelling[thanks autocorrect!])) to porn life you were before you started abstaining, you're doing well.

 

Yes. You viewed the content, I would start from day 0.

 

It's your recovery and only you can manage it. The essential thing for progress is honesty. Addicts are masters of deception, and the very first person we deceive is ourselves. As long as you stay honest with yourself and your APs about how you're doing each day, I think you will continue to make steady progress.

No offense to you but that's a pretty fucked up mentality and that way you're never reaching day 90

Dude trust me, you learn from this, setting your day counter to 0 does nothing but make you feel like shit seeing your streak. however if you feel like "wow im so cool i watched porn and my streak is intact lemme try again", you'll end up relapsing for real.
So yes maybe upto 3 chances can be given and in no case should you be viewing the unholy stuff more than 30 secs.
(its not like you edge for 2 hrs straight and be like: well i still got 2 chances left*

 

Yes. You already relapsed when you decided to visit porn websites. If you want to recover you can’t visit them ever again.

 

Definitely a relapse from watching porn.. If you masturbated rgardless if you had an orgasm while watching then yes it is a relapse from both.

 

This is actually an interesting question with details I hadn't considered myself when I started. This is because I can't ever recall ever watching P and then not MO.

The fundamental purpose of NoFap is to break P addiction, but what sexual activities you allow yourself is entirely up to you. Clearly stopping P is the goal. And the overwhelming consensus is that stopping M (and therefore O) greatly increases your chances of success. But you don't have to stop M, O or partnered sex. For example, my challenge is to quit P by going PM-free for 90 days. I'm married so I'm not going to miss out on O with my wife as I feel it's not part of the problem. In fact, the whole point is that I'm hoping it's going to lead to a better connection with my partner and more deep and meaningful sex. Because I've set my challenge to be PM-free if I M then I've reset. I'm choosing not to M because I think it'll help with stopping P. But I don't disagree with M in itself. I think knowing your own body and learning control are good for your sex life. So after 90 days I may consider going just P-free. I'm hoping that by then I won't be needing to M much, and almost all of the MO will be with my wife!

After careful consideration I think watching P is a reset. Initially I didn't think it was because the OP didn't MO and just stopped watching after 5 minutes. But as I said above, the primary point of NoFap isn't to stop wanking, it's to stop consuming pornography, regardless of whether you fapped or not.

Just FYI, here's a snippet from the official Getting Start with NoFap guide, the key point being about what goals you set and the criteria for achieving them:

Relapse vs. Reset
There’s a difference between a “reset” and a “relapse.” While these terms are often used interchangeably in the NoFap community, the mental health care community would draw key distinctions between the two terms. “Resetting” means you have failed to reach a goal you have set yourself, and you need to reset your day counter on the NoFap platform back to the first day. “Relapsing” is a more serious issue, involving a return to previous - or even escalated - problematic behaviors and their consequences. So for a porn addict, one occurence of using porn can be considered both a reset and a relapse. But for one occurrence of safe, non-harmful sex without the use of porn in NoFap’s “Hard Mode” rebooting program, mental health care professionals likely wouldn’t dub it a “relapse” since having sex is a healthy human behavior. Partnered sex during a Hard Mode reboot might be considered a “reset” since you didn’t reach the goals that you set for yourself.​

 

Depending on your goals it could or could not be.
If your goals are no PMO then its a porn relapse but not an nasturbation since you did not gap..
5 min is sufficient time for a Porn relapse.. That means you unfortunate succumbed to porn
