Today is the worst day of this nofap adventure. On my day 44 , I relapsed by watching a 2 min clip without any touching but till the time I realised I'm going too much into that , my body auto ejaculated and I'm feeling bad now. But its just 2 minutes against 44 days. I wanna know that weather all the benifits that I got during this journey will be diminished or they will get diminished by chronological pmo i.e. masturbation to porn for a long time. Please guys share your relapse experience and how you felt after that and the most important thing , did all benefits were gone after 1 relapse or it takes many relapses for the benefits to be over Sorry for bad English , please reply
Maybe you interpreted wrong bro . I said that I ejaculated but without even touching. Have you faced a relapse earlier? Did all benefits go at once.
Hi! I have never been even close to 44 days but in my experience a relapse normally doesnt mean a complete reset. If you dont binge you should do all right and probably only experience a few days with " hangover"
Best of luck for your journey . Just keep yourself busy and you can complete 90 days of nofap without with hardly suffering through any urges. I have done the same mistake. I was on my phone and very bored so it was just a random search and thenthen porn
No all the benefits aren't lost. It is simply a bump in the road. As long as you are constantly making progress towards quitting completely. However if I were you I would reset my counter.
I agree with this post by monster_carrot. irock - you admit relapsing, so I don't know why you disagreed with Naikolai So, you intentionally watched a pornographic clip for a couple of minutes and, without touching your penis, you had a premature ejaculation. The fact that you didn't masturbate is irrelevant. This still means you need to reset your counter. It was intentional, you were objectifying the 'actors' and you cum with an orgasm and would have had a release of dopamine in your brain. What is more, it would have reinforced the neural pathways to porn. If you don't reset, you are simply fooling yourself.
The simple answer to whether the progress is gone or not - No. I've had many relapses throughout my journey, but I still felt the effects. The "superpowers", they call it, I still felt some of it come back. As long as you pick yourself up ASAP and get things clean again, you'll continue to make progress. Just don't binge, ever. Relapses are just bumps in the road, just like monster_carrot said. But what happens if you have a huge streak of bumps? It'll set you back, so keep fighting, don't beat yourself up after a relapse, don't even think about binging. Oh, and I'd reset that counter if I were you. It's important to know that your progress is legit and clean, just like IGY said, you'd only be fooling yourself this way.
irock said: Today 04:40 AM My benefits were awesome. Social skills increased , increase in concentration (very significant increase), I'm a more intelligent person , charisma better than ever , and increased energy . oh I forget increased confidence also. In my case , I relapsed when I felt bore , empty , no work just sitting around and home alone. Beware of these situations cuz thoughts will hit you out of the blue. You will just make random searches about anyanything and then after sometime you will search for girls , erotic scripts and then porn . best of luck for your journey
Well done irock. This is damn difficult - which is why we are all here, but if you are honest you can go on building those amazing benefits you have had. This will not destroy all of that. Keep it real man.
your brain and mind had an important rest during the 44 days. you made experiences. start a new journey. good luck!
