    Hey guys.

    I have reached day 25 on my Nofap journey. I have recently masturbated and orgasmed to a video call session with my long distance gf.

    I want to know if it counts as a relapse?

    Well, you used a stimulation to MO, just not porn or hentai or anything like that. That sounds like a relapse for all intents and purposes, which I assume is to "unwire" this addiction from your life and make it less of an issue. Any MO to a stimulation is probably gonna reinforce those patterns but, the real question is MO with your girlfriend an issue for you. If your primary intent is to get rid of using porn and you're okay with MO with your girl, that's up to you. I personally think anything related to P, M or O is gonna make the reboot process harder because of the chances of it leading to similar behaviors you don't wanna commit, but you know yourself best so its up to you.

    Well, it’s not something I do everyday or very often. It just happened once. Do you think it’s still a relapse?

    I think that might not be a relapse since it was with a GF, providing that it was with an actual GF. But be very careful now as you may experience a chaser effect and fall back into old habits.

  5. You stimulated yourself manually. It is a relapse. The point here is to not stimulate yourself and also not to have stimulation through women on a screen. That's going to set you back. You must eliminate masturbation completely.

    You either masturbated or not masturbated. Answer it yourself.

    It's important to remember that Nofap is a personal journey, and the most crucial aspect is your own well-being and goals. If you felt at the time, a year ago, that the video call session didn't align with your Nofap goals or values, then it might be considered a relapse based on your personal criteria.
    For more insights on maintaining a balanced and healthy digital life, you might find this article at https://www.mightycall.com/features/queue-callback/ helpful. Ultimately, the decision about whether it was a relapse or not is something you would have had to reflect on and make based on your own values and goals.
