I woke up and I had ejaculated, I uncontrollably fap in my sleep after a 30 day reboot usually and have ansolutely no control. I wore a belt to bed and it still happened. Im really depressed now and I dont know what to do, the ONLY time i relapse now is not when I choose to but when I do sleep fapping. Sleep fapping I feel like Im dreaming it, and have absolutely no awareness at all. Is this a relapse? Will it reset my progress in recovering from PIED?
If you dont have control of ejeculation, its not a relapse, if you do it intentionally then its a relapse. And tell me more about your situation, cause its something new for me and I dont really get it. Are you dreaming that you are fapping and just having a wet dream or are you a lunatic and fap for real durring sleep?
Yes, fap for real, unintentional, which has been the cause for every relapse in the last 7 months of nofap. I thought it was impossible until i started nofap, after a streak is going it always happens
So you were waking up holding your erect hamster, thats how you realised you are fapping for real? Ive been a lunatic before and I can tell that there is no way you can remember what you did while sleep walking. @Plutonium , what do you think about this?
I honestly believe Wet dreams are part of the healing process Calvin. I Think it may strengthen the neural connections when you have a wetdream but don't go back to porn. I think this is true when you accidentally stumble across porn as well. So don't stress. Healing is rarely linear.
Isn't "sleep fapping" just another name for a wet dream? And I've not come across anyone who argues that a wet dream is a relapse. I do, however, doubt his attributing this to subconscious hand masturbation. Imho it is much ado about nothing. Hopefully @Calvin6285 can rest assured he's fine. Onwards and upwards Calvin buddy.
When I was about 18 I spent six months in a close-knit Christian community. For the first time I really felt loved by the people that surrounded me and I was happy. I had a problem with PMO before going there but I only remember fapping twice while there. And even those two times were when the people I was closest to had gone out of town and I felt alone in a psychological sense. After my time there was over I moved in to an apartment with my friend and tried to continue nofap (nofap wasn't around then, but being a Christian I thought it was wrong anyway). Anyway, it was during this time that I woke up a few times while fapping. I only started doing this when I left the community where I felt loved. Because you're asleep, you can't fix this with willpower. I just wanted to write down my experience because problems like this often go a lot deeper than we realize. Something to think about.
Just matured as a person, I guess. It's been more than ten years since the events the story occurred, and it hasn't been an issue since.
