    does masturbation without ejaculation count as relapse?
     
  2. Some say yes but I say no. To me relapse is when you actually cum. But I would be wary because edging 90% of the time will lead to an O

    I’ve tried it after being away from porn for over 2 months. I couldn’t control the urges, so masturbating without porn did not seem like a bad alternative. However, I controlled to not orgasm, which gave me a good dopamine spike. Whether this means it’s a relapse or not is a topic for debate. Thanks you for sharing your thoughts.
     
  4. I would refrain from porn watching in entirety because constantly inviting your temptation in your life is going to cause a slip up eventually. I suggest hard mode because it's really easy mode. No temptation equals a better reboot

    Of course. What a stupid question.
     
  6. Edging without orgasm causes large dopamine spikes can be more detrimental than standard MO. I think no M at all is best for retention.
