    In trying to join a dating site, I saw some pretty graphic porn ads. I enjoyed looking at them

    I didn't MO, but boy do I feel a burning fire inside me.

    Disregard, I relapsed. I'm sorry. Wow, this is hard. This being my first run-through, I suspected i'd have to re-start at some point. I don't yet feel the negative side effects... Except maybe pressure on the temples of my head? Maybe things will be worse tomorrow? Starting again is ok.

    Tip: stay away from dating sites.
    Tip #2: if you absolutely MUST join a dating site to find a date, block all the ads (all tho not guaranteed that will be enough, some of those people post very suggestive pictures in their profile or even sometimes straight up nudes, hence why better stay away from dating sites completely while rebooting, you're just asking for trouble, or at the very least carefully select a dating site that is very strictly moderated).

    If it's just a no masturbation goal, no that wasn't a relapse. But as you saw it lead to one.
    What that dating site was doing was serving as a porn substitute. Stay AWAY from porn subs as much as possible, because that horniness stays with you and it leads to a mental relapse, which leads to an actual relapse.
    It's like edging. It's all just playing with fire. Stay away from erotic stuff as much as possible. And stay away from any stimulation of your genitals. It surges the dopamine to my understanding, and all the mind can focus on is releasing that.
