    Hi,
    The day before yesterday(22day of reboot) i was watching sexy pics with bare breast and parts of vaginas because I was avoiding porn pics.i saw some pussies but it was not a lot it was just few. And in some times i was feeling I'm completely driven,so i tried to stop and i closed the app.
    İ felt urge for some time ,but It went away.

    And yesterday(23 day of reboot) i played with my self for about 10min but i only got precum,so i stopped.

    And i intend not to do it again.

    Actually, my routine in relapsing is watching these stuff and then i watching actual porn ato end by masturbation.

    İ don't consider it as relapse, because i could resist the urge for relapsing although i was so close to watch the actual porn but i didn't.

    İn fact, the days before the (22 report) i had pain in my testicles and i didn't had a wet dreams at all which is really hard. İn addition to in this period of my life I'm completely depressed and frustrated.

    Finally, i don't consider it as a relapse but in the same time I know it's a big risk for a relapse and it delays the progression of my reboot. But it's not a relapse.
    Currently I'm having a strong desire to relapse ,but my regret for what I did is stronger than the urge. So i wrote it in my 22nd day that there was (delay). And i don't have any intention to do the delay again i want to complete my 90 days but i don't know where exactly this delay put me ?
    ,So tell me your opinions guys because I want to talk to anyone.

    İ consider myself as an arrow that's pulled back to be launched toward its target.
    That's why i consider it as delay not as a relapse because I didn't complete relapsing cycle.
    And i don't intend to do it again and I don't intend to relapse.
    Wish me luck brothers.
    Thanks in advance because I may not be available to thank you.

    FYI, this is literally watching porn-substitutes and masturbating.

    If your goal is to abstain from PMO, I don't see how this would not be considered a relapse

    Because I didn't watch explicit porn and masturbate to it directly.
    İt was porn substitutes and i didn't masturbate at all and Even playing with myself was in the day after doing it.
    İ may did something horrible but I don't see it as a relapse.

    The consensus on this forum tends to be that looking at porn substitutes (facebook, instagram, bikini magazines, erotic texts, female twitch streamers and especially nude pictures of breasts and vaginas) are just as much of a relapse as looking at explicit intercourse.

    Playing with yourself for 10 min is also clearly edging, which is equivalent to masturbating.

    So, should i reset my counter ?
    Or it's lower damaging than the actual relapse

    I'd recommend this article. The common consensus is that you should reset the counter.

    Whether it was a relapse or not, you're going to be doing the same thing - continue to abstain while refraining from doing it in the future.

    If you don't feel like it warrants resetting your timer, simply add 22 days to your goal.

    I wish you the best of luck!
