    I am on day 27 in my current nofap streak and had a wet dream today. Even though, it woke me up instantly when it happened, there was a lot of volume in that release.

    I feel like I have relapsed and all of my efforts have gone to waste. Can someone please tell me otherwise?

    It's not a relapse.. it's just the body's way to do away with the excess...all natural... nothing to worry about... continue your streak.. you've almost reached 30...you will be more prone to relapse after reaching the first milestone...so be wary...keep the motivation up

    Thank you so much!

    Can you tell me more about milestones? You said I may be more prone to relapse after reaching first milestone. What is considered as first milestone? And what are others?

    Usually 90 days of abstinence is considered the average goal set to reboot our fried brains...30 days is the first proper milestone I'd say even though a week clean can in and of itself be a milestone for some...
    The reason I say that you'd be more prone to a relapse is that the motivation dwindles down upon reaching a previously set goal...if you had initially planned on doing say 30 days,then you'll start wondering"what now?"
    One might tend to reward oneself for reaching said milestone
    One might start wondering if everything's still working fine down there
    One might wonder if the Internet myths of the little general growing in size and girth is for real and might test it out himself
    A lot of things can go wrong...my advice,never set a preset goal...but then again we strive better if we have a preset goal...so keep 90 days initially as a target... you'll be disciplined to reach that elusive number...by the time you reach it, you'll be matured enough to understand that the journey is more than a number and to continue it as a lifestyle

    Thanks again for the explanation.

    I had read some post on "yourbrainonporn" that the real benefits would start only after 200 days of abstinence and 90 days is not realistic to see any benefits. So, at the back of my mind, I have a first milestone of 200 days.
    Although, I have made a promise to myself that I will never ever watch porn or masturbate again in my entire life. That is a big lifestyle change. But, I did not take into account the wet dreams. They can be a hurdle as I am feeling some lingering horniness today after waking up

    Not really man..I had done 106 days previously and the changes were surreal...lost 30 pounds, was more driven, more disciplined, gymmed 6 days a week, had the first wet dream in my life...so yeah I noticed some changes I've never felt before...but hey to each his own... 200 days does sound ambitious and like you said to view it as a lifestyle change is the right mindset
    As regards wet dreams,don't sweat it out... it's the body's natural way to do away with the excess... it's most definitely not a relapse..
