Is intentional orgasm during lucid dreaming considered masturbation (intentionally induced w dream)?

This is an interesting question, @100100110000011001101 (where does that username come from?).

I don't know the answer, because it's such a grey area. Here are my thoughts.

I wouldn't consider it to be a relapse, as it's just the once and is unlikely to have set your brain back, but I guess that it might be a reset as it was deliberate.

Generally, a wet dream isn't a reset (nor is it a relapse) because it's completely out of your control.

If you do it again, though, I'd definitely reset. It might even be a relapse then — I am unsure what effect lucid dreaming of sex with real orgasm does to your brain.

I would suggest that you look inside, and ask what your gut feeling is. Does it feel right to reset or right to continue with your counter? Remember that your counter is really for your own information, and not to show off to other people, so it's about you, not about others.

To put it another way: Would keeping the counter unchanged sabotage your healing, or would this just be a blip in a journey?

Go with your gut feeling rather than what we tell you.

As an aside, if you were so close to orgasm, it's better that you did orgasm, because edging is much worse than completing.

Might I suggest that you avoid lucid dreaming until you consider yourself to be healed?

Oh, and watch out for the possible chaser effect. Be strong!

 

It looks like it, but count the digits: 21. It doesn't fit into any standard encoding such as ASCII.

 

You can indeed change your username. However, I don't know what happens in posts where you've been tagged; do those references also change? If you change your username to something quite different, people will no longer recognise that it's you.

If you do change your username, let us know. I'll tag you here @100100110000011001101 so that if you do change your username, we'll see the change right here!

EDIT: I can't read. If you change your username, all posts that reference you won't be changed.

 

Ah ha! You've changed your username, and I see "IAM", which I presume means "I am". Judging from your avatar, is this to do with the movie remake of Asimov's "I, Robot"? Or have I misinterpreted?

Interestingly, a Google search gives me a strange YouTube video!

 

Is it healthy to prevent deep sleep? Your body does a tremendous amount of healing during deep sleep, and all of the research that I've read has confirmed its value to your long-term health.

 

I would let it go. Leave your counter unchanged for now. I suggest that you don't do this again while lucid dreaming. If your body wants to ejaculate for health reasons, it will do so while you sleep.

Allow yourself both deep sleep and non-lucid dreaming, although you can lucid dream as well if you choose.

 

Maybe I'm a little late but had EXACTLY the same situation today. And it made me think about consequences of having sex while lucid dreaming. I think that the right thought was "Reset, if you persist" because these actions reinforce brain patterns responsible for the same thing in a real life. For example, masturbating in real life and masturbating in a lucid dream will use SAME neural paths. I wouldn't count just wet dreams though because in a regular sleep your prefrontal cortex is shut down and you don't have a chance to stop yourself -- I'd say it's unfair to count it as a relapse/reset.
