    Hello,

    Now while I was surfing instagram I came a cross some girls picture and started to touch my penis but it did not last a lot, then I removed my hand before O and closed the mobile.
    Is this considered as relapse?

    Don't do it again! Then I guess it's okay. But doing stuff like that is really not helpful and before you know you fall because of it. Next time close it before you even think about touching or seeing something you know is deceiving. You can do it!

    Intentional viewing of P subs led you to edging which is worse than O. It slowed down your rebooting process.

    P-Subs caused my rebooting time to be longer. I am at 78 days and am still experiencing withdrawal symptoms just because of P-Subs. Live and learn. I would recommend hard mode as it feels like I am now getting a clean reboot. A.ARN - you can do this. Use this site to get support and information about the rebooting process. Check out Yourbrainonporn. com too. Lots of great info

    Well thats good! You can and will reach the goals! I am just thankfull that I reached 30 days but I have to be careful to and stay alert too! There were days I thought I would never reach this amount of days but I want to say is believe that you can do it, because for the last 31 days I began to believe that I could do it and see here the result :) All the best! ;)

    No it's not. You didn't give up, closed it and stopped it, so your mind realized it's wrong and you did an action. That's great man.

    This is called edging, and is harmful to your brain. Although not as harmful as PMO.
    It could slow down your reboot, don't do it again.

  9. Idk about the official "NoFap Rules," but for me, personally, sometimes I use the whole question of "is this a relapse?" as a tool to get myself to stop before going further.

    What I mean by that is, if I were in your position, in that moment I probably would have promised myself "okay, if you stop right now, you don't have to count this a relapse and you don't have to reset your counter." Now obviously some people here are strictly trying to do the 90 day challenge reboot thing and want to know for sure whether that "set them back" or whatever, but for me, personally, I just want to quit this stuff forever, so if making a compromise deal with myself will make me stop the bad behavior in that moment, I'm gonna do whatever will work for me.

    Anyway, that isn't for everyone, but just food for thought.

  11. Honestly, dude. It's just best to stay away from sites like instagram altogether. The only social media I'm on is youtube. At least there I can choose what I view etc... I never find myself running into stuff that I do not want to see. I'm not on Facebook either.

    Just eliminate all distractions.

    I wouldn't necessarily call it a relapse. Some might disagree. Maybe have a separate counter for P subs... You said you closed it before oragasm. How long were you edging for?

    No, but do not do it again man!
    If you keep on doing, you will eventually relapse.
    Good luck brother

    I believe so. My friends are angry at me - they have to call me or text me now :). But i did a research, what facebook is getting me. And result - i can live without that! I used to spend a lot of time there, just you know, without any purpose, scrolling down and see what other are up to. Then I realized that I kind of envy them their lives - but the whole system is wrong. Cause you see only happy people there, great accomplishement, new gfs of bfs. But those people are also unhappy and there is no evidence there so then you have feeling that you have been living no real life!
    Well, that was my feeling. And I say, fuck it, I have my life and this doesnt include facebook anymore. Do I find there a girl? No, at least not me, there plenty of them OUT there :), I go and get them :). Period.

    Cheers :D.

    That is actually one social media i couldnt be without :) - it is my music and documentary channel :D
     
  17. Yeah me too. It's usually my go-to for music. Sometimes I just end up watching random cat videos as well. I'm a bit of a gamer, so I watch a lot of gaming related content too :)

    I like and agree with TakingTheSteps' philosophy very much! ...similarly the advice to just get off whatever social media that cause problems.
