    Hey guys I have been on NoFap for about 10 days, mostly for the hope of getting the benefits of confidence, motivation etc.
    Untill today it was great, I also added daily meditation workouts and cold showers.
    However yesterday I accidently came during a blowjob from my girlfriend. I sometimes have premature eeculation and yesterday it got out of control probably due to NoFap.
    I also had some unusual erectile disfunction which doesnt happen alot to me, probably because I am during a flatline period.
    I got disxouraged after I came and I don't know whether to consider it a relapse. I also don't have any sexual desire due to the flatline sp no chaser affect.
    What do you think? Do tou have any insight?
     
  2. What are your goals? Is climaxing something specifically against your own personal rules for your reboot?

    It’s really up to your own criteria. What form of NoFap are you aiming for? No PM? Or no PMO? It sounds like you intention wasn’t to come, but you did, in which case...yeah, that’s a relapse.

    That’s why it’s so important to set hard and fast criteria right at the start. Having clearly delineated rules makes it easier because there are no grey areas in which your mind can trick you into doing something you’ll later regret.

  4. I'd also add that if orgasm is against your rules, it's important to avoid situations that directly put you into risk of relapse, like in the scenario that you described.

    I really don't know thats the problem.
    I am not a porn addict- I dont watch porn at all and don't musterbate very casually- I musterbate only because me and my SO are semi long diatance and we wanted to keep a sexual relationship when we are apart, so we do it on video or with photos.
    My only goal is to gain the benefits and not to overcome an addiction. So in my case I don't know which mode is best for me and my situation.
     
  6. Well, in that case... You didn't climax from porn, you were with a Real Live Person and for most rebooters that's the ultimate end goal. I think if you don't use this encounter to go fuel a porn binge then I wouldn't personally call this a relapse. It might help if you more clearly define your goals though. If you can't clearly describe the benefits that you're seeking and the path to get there, you're probably going to be asking yourself this question 'is it a relapse?' many times.

    Well you are right... All I really want is to gain some confidence and reduce my social anxiety. Well probably PMO is not my root problem because I suffer from it when I PMO and when I dont.
    However when I used to musterbate more my symptomes were indeed much worse.
    So I think that I will do no PM to not worsen my situation and O only with my GF and not often.
    It is just sad that I will probably won't experience any big chabges because I dont have an addiction to overcome.
    Anyways thank you for you quick helpfull advice.

    The 'superpowers' that people describe are a relative thing. They feel like superpowers to them because they've been so depressed/repressed/drained from PMO that removing those inhibitors allows them to return to a semi-normal state, which to them feels 'super' relative to the state they've been in for years beforehand. If you don't have a PMO (or even an M) problem then chances are you're already operating at a level close to what PMO recoverers would describe as 'super'. If you do still feel depressed/anxious though then there's probably some other cause. Many things can produce those negative effects, not just PMO.

    I think you're ok. One orgasm in two weeks sounds good to me. It depends on what u started off trying to do. You have a gf so I suppose it's ok to orgasm within reason..try for once or twice a week..just avoid the pm
     
  10. I agree with the others. You were with your girlfriend which is nothing but natural and healthy. Keep going, man!

    You phrased that much more diplomatically than I ever would have. That's why you get the mod nod.

    Out of curiosity, if your goal is no ejaculation, why was your girlfriend giving you a bj?
