    1st, I hope that this issue belongs in this sector (if not I apologise for my mistake)

    So,after a nap which I took today, I had a first wet dream in my life.
    Im currently on a nofap streak for 10 days,and I lasted 24 days on my last journey before this.
    So I need a couple of answers
    Are wet dreams normal at this stage of nofap ?
    Does it consider as a relapse (I sincerely hope not :D)
    Should I feel bad or good after this ? ( I think I should feel ok,because some chemical reactions ARE happening in my body,but I'm open for any other answer that is opposite but true)

    Hi Kalanko! Wet dreams are normal, and are not considered a relapse or reset, as they are involuntary. It's just the body's natural way of purging excess, and is a sign of healing, so you should be happy about it. Just be careful, because any orgasm can cause a chaser effect and increased urges for a while.

    Be careful if you have an orgasm in your sleep without ejaculation ("dry" wet dream), because that causes a double effect of blue balls and the chaser effect, and insane urges. It's what led to my previous streak ending. I just had another yesterday, but powered through. Ice, ibuprofen, and a long walk helps!

    Hey Jason (or anybody else that reads this atm) just one more question?
    What's the difference between relapse and reset ?

    "Relapse: For addicts, the act of returning to bad habits after a period of improvement. This is a serious word. Examples would include masturbating to porn (for a porn addict), significantly disrupting your life due to excessive masturbation (going on a 20x binge and skipping work), risky masturbation (masturbating in public), and other similarly life-disrupting activities due to an addiction.

    Reset: Failing one of our programs/challenge. This stemmed from the act of resetting your day counter badge back to day one. If your masturbate during your rebooting program, this could be called a reset."

    For me, a relapse is intentionally looking at porn, masturbating to porn, or even going on a masturbation binge without porn. A reset is any masturbation to orgasm. I'm not sure which classification I would put edging in. It's at least a reset, but it might be a relapse, due to the prolonged elevation of dopamine levels. I think edging is can be worse than quickly finishing.

  6. Consider this a victory in your battle. Your body is doing what it supposed to since you have stopped doing things. Great work, keep it up.

    Well done man, its a sign that your body is healing.
    Just keep it up and don't reset your timer. I will see you there!
     
  9. I’d say edging is M. I did it initially thinking it wasn’t but found it kept me bound and cranked up the dopamine affect making my efforts less productive.
