    There's only one way to know. And that's to keep going.

    Whether the answer is yes or no, your addicted brain will trick you into thinking its okay to relapse again. So better not to dwell on this question and its implications. Stay on the path and your benefits will become even greater than they were before given enough time.

    "Women attraction" is not directly gained or lost from NoFap/Relapse. The most important thing you can do right now is keep it to one relapse and you should be fine.

    This is true.. In fact you dont lose all benefits. Some of the benefits of nofap are just theories and bro-science so i dont count on that. I like the energy, motivation, and harmony but i dont expect to get laid just by abstaining from orgasms. Confidence is up to you and how you feel. Its possible sometimes to lose some but sometimes you wont even notice difference. If you get desperate over a single relapse you will probably get the placebo effect and make your subconsious mind to feel like you lost benefits. Personally after a relapse i just forget about it, i say whatever is lost is lost and i try not to binge. My motto in this is "Two steps forward one step behind". You choose either this affects you to the point that this motto becomes "One step forward two steps behind" and this is by selective thinking. I just know that i move forward even if sometimes i relapse. I have fixed my pied and i keep on trying to make every streak longer and my life better in all aspects. PEACE

    So many people think that a relapse here and there is going to set them back to square one, and they get all anxious about it, and then they PMO again because they're anxious and want to calm down. Don't get trapped in that vicious cycle. Relapsing every now and then will not reset your progress back to zero. I relapsed three times this summer, and I still feel so much better than I did before starting NoFap. You're going to feel a bit icky for a few days or maybe even a week (depending on the severity of the relapse), but you'll feel fine once that's over.

    Just imagine NoFap being like putting an M&M into a bowl every day. You put one into a bowl every day for four months, and one day you feel tempted to eat two of them, so you do. Did you lose the entire bowl? No, you only lost two of them.

    No, just shake it off and don't binge.
