Does this count as a relapse?

Depends on you. If you’re into hard more then it’s definitely a relapse. But from next time stop fantasising about Porn.

 

Yeah i think you should take it as a relapse, as you totally lost control. And sorry about the struggles you had to face my man, sexual harrassment can really damage one, be sure to stand up for yourself, always, please

 

Look don’t worry too much about it.
You didn’t look for for P or didn’t actually touch and oscillate it.

What matters now is that you must be careful.
Be aware, stay strong.

 

You do whatever you want with your counter.

 

That's a tough one but you can control your mind and your body if you work at it. I'd recommend having some thought provoking topics to think about prepared for yourself, or some kind of mantra that can keep your mind off fantasising and images of porn etc.

Another thing I'd practice is deep breathing. Breathing into a count of 5, holding for 5, breathing out for 5. You can do that pretty discreetly. Controlling the breath generally controls arousal and the speed of your thoughts to some degree.

 

If you can find something that is more appealing to your mind than PMO at that instant, you win the battle, so that you can pull off bad thoughts from your mind...like, for example, a song with a lot of beats, or any such thought that takes 100%of your attention... I know personally that this is so difficult because pull of PMO is super strong. But this is the only way i hope.
Stay Strong! You can control!
Another way, i am trying to do, is when you have an erection, count from 10 to 1 backwards and keep calm, and think about all those reasons why u shouldn't have an erection at that instant, and order your brain to have control.... I am trying to program the brain to work for me in controlling the erection, so that with practice, i will be able to control erections at my will..Try this!

 

What a son of b**ch he is !!! Brother, you are under 18 and therefore considered as a child.You can get him arrested for doing this and make him spend his life in jail.You need to know this...I don't understand why these b*strds target childs ...

Let's get back to the main point, to me this is not a relapse.You may feel sensitive for the first 60 days, p flashbacks may be more persistent and frequent than ever before.How long this condition will last varies from person to person and depending on the level of addiction.So this cannot be counted as an mistake.Keep away from masturbation ,edging,P sites, triggering pictures, and more.I appreciate you taking this journey at this age. Good luck !

 

No. As others have said, you can try different things to help you move your focus off sex and porn. It is not easy when you are in puberty, so don't be too hard on yourself Jarad. As long as you are not intentionally touching your dick or looking at porn or p/subs then keep your counter going.

 

Bear in mind Jarad that if you have a wet dream it can cause urges to come back for a couple of days. Your orgasm was not intentional. It was the last thing you wanted in fact! I do not think an unintentional jizz counts against your journey.

The 'O' in hardmode, is meant to refer to not having sex. So, those with sexual partners can do normal mode. But when you are not having sex, you can do no-PMO hard mode. That is what you are doing. Don't overthink this buddy. You're fine.

 

It’s okay.
This is where the “streak counter” is bothering you.
I can understand how you feel, but you must place a rock on your heart and not get too stressed by this incident.
You have more important stuff like Handling Chaser.
Be aware.
You got this.

 

Not to steal Jarad's thread, but I'd like to ask if what I did this morning should be considered a relapse. If I start a new thread it would have the exact same title, and the responses in here have been helpful, so I thought perhaps better to consolidate. Maybe this will also be helpful for Jarad and others.

I'm a little more than two weeks into normal mode (allowing sex) but this morning I started looking up pornographic content on the web. Didn't go to any tube sites (mostly just nude images), didn't jack off, didn't even edge myself. It lasted for about 10 minutes before I said 'fuck it, this isn't going anywhere I want it to' and closed the browser.

Did I relapse? Should I reset my counter?

 

Your counter says No Porn. But you intentionally searched for and looked at porn for 10 minutes. So you need to reset your counter.

 

Gosh dang it. As much as I might want to come up with some kind of argument to slip around my own rules, ultimately you're right and I appreciate you being direct. And to be honest, this was the kind of temporary leniency that could very likely lead to complete loss of control down the line.

Still carrying much of the benefits from two weeks of NoFap, but restarting the counter now for a proper reboot.

@IGY I seem to recall seeing a somewhat authoritative source on what is and is not a relapse. Just for future reference do you know what that might've been—or of any other similar resources?
