Does a relapse destroy all the progresses?

    Hi, I am a 21 years old guy who suffers from a total ED due to 15 years of prone masturbation. I have done 138 days of nofap but yesterday, unfortunately, I relapsed and masturbated twice. My will is not to relapse again. My question is: can a double relapse have any negative effect on recover? I mean that If one person masturbate only twice a year that's a good score.

    I guess it depends on your attitude whether you continue to fix yourself (your character and your addiction). If you get back into the loop, then it ruins it, if you just keep on going and don't fall, maybe it doesn't matter so much.

    Thank for your answer my friend. So do you think that if a person relapses masturbating only once or twice but after stops masturbating and keeps on with diligence nofap that one or two relapses don't have any value?

    If you just continue and don't fall in a loop, you should be good. But don't make it a habit or excuse, to relapse 1-2 times a year.

    Is your ED still there after 138 days? Then you probably have a deeper problem, I’m afraid. How did you start masturbating at the age of 6? I don’t even really remember what I did at that age.

    Good question. I started masturbation at 6 years old rubbing my penis on the floor. Of course at that age there wasn't ejaculation. Anyway, yes my ED is still there after 138 days. My doctor says that It's probably that I suffer from peyronie's disease, which may lead to ED.

  7. Exactly. All that progress hasn´t been erased. Even abstaining for 1 week is better than no abstaining at all. And obviously, masturbating just once or twice a year is better than once or twice a day.
    However, that mentality of permissivenes is gonna drag you down. It is acceptable to fail, but accepting defeat even before the fight is not. If you allow yourself to fail once, you will do it twice, and then you will going on a on until you come back to where you started.
    Anyone here sets their own goals, but allowing yourself to be weak may cost you this fight. Some people would argue that it is impossible, but it isn´t. There are plenty of people in this web that are the living prove.
    We humans are the only responsibles for our acts. There is no one else deciding for us.

    Thank you for this important message. I completely agree. Unfortunately yesterday I failed and I relapsed, but I will try not to be permissive for the future. Anyway, the damage (relapsing twice yesterday) is already done, I hope I will not repeat this mistake in the future
