Porn flashbacks, a relapse?

I am fairly new at this forum, but my understanding is this:

You are asking about a reset, not a relapse. A reset is when you break a challenge and start your day count over from the beginning. A relapse is when you have returned to old habits and aren't doing a challenge, or are struggling to even go a few days without fapping.

If you are asking about a reset, my opinion is that having a mental fantasy or porn flashback is not a reset for hard mode, unless you fap.

I would add that, having an erection, whether partial or a full boner, is not a reset, either and I don't think it is something that you want to stop from happening, because it is healthy. It's shows that your body is healthy. Just let it happen and let it pass. That's just my opinion: I'm not an expert and not a doctor.

 

If the thoughts are spontaneous I wouldn't dwell on it. It would be different if you actively try to seek them out and then feel excited. But still then if you resist them and think nothing of them you have nothing to worry about even if you get an erection. As long as you don't welcome the thoughts you're good.

 

Your brain is changing, I get the same weird random thoughts, sometimes violent. Makes me go wtf. It's part of it all..if you aren't watching porn or masturbating you are good.

Imagine a Vietnam war veteran, you can't tell him you arent allowed to have flashbacks either.

Porn has an impact on us, especially if you are highly sensitive like me. It is a wrong kind of stimulation to have. You need serenity in your brain, no negativity. Who needs porn if you can go out there and seek girls?

It's best you avoid it forever.

 

Nope. Don't smoke either. Sounds weird.
