    How did you come to look at nudes?

    If you're even asking this it most likely means a part of you may be disheartened by a relapse, and perhaps it was only a slip.

    You don't have to reset over a slip. It depends on what you consider a slip vs. relapse for yourself personally.

    Whatever it was or wasn't, take a look at why and how it happened, and how you can take actions to make sure you don't make the same mistake again :)

    It's not a relapse dude. It doesn't sound like one, but by doing this you're strengthening the neural pathways in your brain all the same. The wrong pathways to kick this thing man.

    I looked at something I should not have and hyperstimulated myself while doing so this morning. I didn't count it as a reset or relapse. If the same occurrence happens within the next week my time is getting reset however.

    One more thought for ya mate, it's up to you to reset or not over it. Sounds like a slip. If a reset would make you feel better about enforcing zero tolerance do it. If you think it would discourage your current progress don't.

    Just don't look at nudes any more. Why risk it?

    I think you looked at it on purpose, so based on that, it is a relapse

    If you saw nude by accident and consciously looked away when you realized what happened, that is not a relapse.

    Which one is it?

    What if like your gf or a girl sent you nudes? is that porn? I remember getting nudes from a girl i liked. would that be viewing porn? What if you go to a beach or something and a girl decides to flash herself and you look? is that a relapse or porn?

    I'm talking about how nudes aren't porn. Depending on how you viewed it. if your gf or a girl your into sent you one and you saw it its not a relapse imo. If you viewed nudes from like twitter or tumblr from a girl id question it. i got a spam email where a girl showed her boobs nude. I didn't stare at it for too long. Less than 1 minute. that isn't a relapse. I thought PMO was porn. I didn't view porn after viewing it either or any other nudes. I was just browsing my email. if you're purposely search up for nudity then id give yourself less than a minute before it should be a reset cause you're intentionally looking to relapse or get that high. But not all nudes count imo.
     
  11. Not a relapse, yet. But if you keep doing it, you might as well quit and go back to PMO.
    You are feeding the monster.
    I have done it. I have urges to do it every day!
    Don't do it.

    Yeah well mine was a spam email. I haven't looked back to nudity.
     
  13. Jolly good.
    We cannot control those things. Keep up the good fight!
     
  14. Perfect answer.
    I actually had a slip today for a few minutes. Was starting to edge- snapped out of it!
    It’s ridiculous to expect zero sexual urges or moments of weakness but how we deal with those moments is what shows progress or not. Then we learn from that.

    A lot of people don’t realize it but in our difficult times or our temporary setbacks is when we stand to learn and gain the most! They are the most valuable teachers if we view it correctly.

    Edging is dangerous. I'd give only 2 strikes and if you intentionally do it again id reset. Cause edging produces more you know, sperm, so you will get a wet dream eventually. and if you think those don't count. I'd rethink that as you edged to cause sperm to build up so I'd consider it a relapse if you get a wet dream and orgasm and ejaculate. It happened cause you kept building it up. If it's just a wet dream and you didn't edge. it's fine. You're body just needs to relieve itself.
     
  18. Oh i know, i wrote a huge piece on it. lol trust me i know. It was like 5 seconds. Also edging doesn't create sperm. It causes excitement in the brain which prepares for sperm to be released.
     
  19. LOL! For real, you are all good brother :)
     
  20. I think you should reset your counter if you feel guilty
