    long story short
    since a while i've been trying to quit porn.

    a few minutes ago i acessed a porn website. I looked around a little bit, but, i don't know... i just wasn't feeling it, you know?...
    I spend about to 10 minutes in there (or even less). Was already with my hands in my d*. But like i said, i wasn't really feeling it. I didn't really wanted to watch porn, didn't wanted to masturbate to it. I feel like i was only doing it for some kind of impulse, or habit, or trying to feel somethin, but i dont know... I closed the site and did it without porn.

    Did i relapsed?
    My main goal is to quit porn. And eventually, reduce or quit masturbating.

    I noticed in me that masturbating was related to porn. I'am trying to break this relationship between masturbating and watching porn. I think the act of satisfying yourself is something good if you are able to do it in a healthy manner. But, pornografy is something created by satan himself to destroy your mind and soul.

    did i relapsed?

    Of course it is relapse. It is all about porn addiction, and that sounds like you definitely have it. Funny thing is that you will get more NoFap benefits while practicing only MO, then while watching P without MO. However, your MO goes hand in hand with P / F (fantasizing). That means that it could not be healthy anymore, until full reboot at least, so reset your counter and move on hard mode.

    First read this:
    https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/reb...masturbate-edge-or-watch-porn-without-orgasm/

    After that install P-blockers on all your devices if you want to abandon this addiction for good. Also you must avoid even thinking about P and P-sub stuff. Each your dive in ero-thoughts is the highway to the relapse, so you have been warned.

    I said as long as masturbation has a compulsory hold, it's an issue in everyone's life because whether you like it or not, sooner or later it becomes a habit, a circle that you can't control or break willingly. I'd strongly suggest you adhere strictly to eliminating it's practice totally. As it is right now it's a demon in you that you don't wanna mess with, let out or control .( you are been through that circle before, haven't you?)

    Masturbation and porn goes together. Particularly with men, as a visually stimulated being when you watch porn, it's places a compulsion on you to act on it hence Masturbation and when you Masturbate without stimulation it's never gonna be enough, it's like trying to have sex with a less attractive woman that doesn't arouses you, you will see yourself under a compulsion to get more excitement.

    Masturbation is just as Bad and harmful as porn. Then both are after your brain and your will-power, as I'd love to add whatever takes away your will takes away to life in a long run ... And that's addiction of whatever form. I'm 26, been embattled almost 13yrs so trust me I know what I'm saying. Lol

    Literally it's a good if you can identify a catalyst that stimulates you. Look at it this way. The less Masturbation I indulge the less excitement in porn I'm going to need. The less porn I watch the less excitement in Masturbation I'm gonna be force to act.

    Btw I'm still strong, I'm Breaking_the_circle through Christ and willfully and total abstainance from arouses.

    I'd call that a relapse, but a short one (assuming you immediately get back to abstaining).

    You know how when you learn to ride a bike, and you take off the training wheels, and you kinda got it, but then you lose your balance and you wobble a bit, and then you put your foot down to balance yourself. It's kinda like that. You didn't crash and scrape across the pavement, but you definitely lost your balance and had to stop.

    Get back on and try again. Eventually you'll be a pro.
