    Hi. I am 16 and I have started my first NoFap journey. I have now my first week streak, but 2 days ago I edged a little. I was fighting my urges for watching porn and jerking off and I just masturbated a little, but just for a few seconds. And that happened yesterday too. I just masturbated for like 5 seconds, no more, is that a relapse? I haven't noticed yet the benefits of my progress at all because I didn't go to school and I haven't talked to anyone these days, and that's because I am very sick and my throat was closed these last days. Honestly I haven't wasted my time this week so that's a progress. The only thing I want to know is if I masturbate just for a few seconds counts as a relapse. Fighting the urges isn't easy, my hand goes to my dick automatically and jerk it off for a moment, when that happens I just quit my hand.
    Sorry for bad english, I'm mexican.

    It is very hard for Young men cause of very strong desires. You should avoid totally to Touch your private parts for Feelings of Joy, because you surely will relapse than.

    Depends upon some factors... Normally edging isn't a relapse (according to definition). But if you keep doing it again and again, you might as well consider it one.

    I think the important thing is that you stop each time. That is a really good thing. I think you need to try not to do it at all. If it truly happens automatically without you thinking about it, I don’t think you should reset your counter. If you willingly masturbate and make that conscious choice, if it were me I would reset my counter. The counter represents progress. If you feel like you’re making progress I wouldn’t reset. If you feel like you’re making excuses, you probably should reset. But good job stopping. It will take a while to break the habit.
