If you edge to the point where a little bit of cum leaks out, is that a relapse?

Judges lol

 

You don't have to call it a relapse if you don't want. The idea, however, is to not engage in any PMO behaviors.
You may not have watched P and M'd to Orgasm, so technically golden; but dopamine surges and reinforcing neural pathways to PMO is not helpful to accomplishing a full and complete reboot and recovery.
Fight on, and strive to overcome your challenges.

 

Decision from the Russian judge? No

 

Personally, I would consider it a relapse. I'm keeping my hands completely off if I have an erection. I think most people here abstaining from masturbation would consider that a relapse.

One thing you could do, since you seem to have kind of a custom reboot going on, is just change your counter to say "meeting my goals"

 

Man I'm just answering the title. The goal of NoFap is to abstain from PMO. Its up to you to reset or not I'm just saying what I would do if I were in your situation.

 

So you're not addicted to any sexual behavior that negatively affected your life ?!? Then what are you doing here? Posting about a relapse that you never had because you don't need to change anything?!?
If you're trying to reboot by abstaining from MO, then the answer would be determined by whether you think that the release of semen prior to ejaculation is part of orgasm.
I would say it's part and parcel of the whole O experience; complete with a dopamine surge. You can reset the counter or accept that the time frame for your reboot may be delayed.
Every time you do edge, you strengthen the addictive pathways and feed your brain the essential thing it needs to keep you addicted.

 

So you M once every 90 days on average ? No edging ?

 

Every time you edge it means you need to reset. The streaks are inspiring but not really a true reboot.
90 days no MO and no edging are the rules. Cheat for building your confidence, but know that it's not a real reboot.
Good streaks anyway. Time to refine your efforts to improve your results.
I'm rooting for you.

 

That's what I would have done. Just erupted and started fresh.

 

You are right. It hurts your recovery less to just masturbate and cum than it does to edge and not cum. It might seem counterintuitive, but those are the facts. You can read up on it if you wish. But I get the impression that you started this thread to get agreement from others that you don't need to relapse. But the message throughout is to reset and I concur.

 

So you say you're here to simply to stop masterbation(jerking on your dick) and then you are asking if because you masterbated (jerked on you dick) is considered a relapse. So if I'm an alcoholic and I go drink alcohol is that a relapse?? Next you asked the question yet every reply you have is just telling everyone why they are wrong and that somehow rubbing on your dick and masterbating are two different things. So it sounds like you mind is already made up. Which really to try and justify why edging is ok is a relapse mindset just in itself. I say all this because I spent a year in that stage I'd edge until I PMOed.

 

Bwhahaha well why don't you just change it to porn without masturbation and masturbation without orgasm bc they both sound ridiculous. Dude if anticipation alone of getting your freak on can't keep your hands off yourself, it totally sounds like lots of work left to do.
