Guys, last night I started having erotic thoughts, and in an attempt to stop them, I ejaculated. Is this considered a relapse?
Who can say? You haven't articulated what your addictions are, what your recovery program consists of, and what your final goals are and for what reason. What may be a reset for one may not be for another. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. .
My goal is drop masturbation and get all benefits from nofap. When you'll see this words, you can say:"Man, you just have answered your question!", but, i want to hear your thoughts about that. Maybe, ejaculation kills my superpowers from nofap, or something else.
This is normal. Yes you have relapsed. It is ok. I have never heard anyone succeeding from the first attempt. Erotic thoughts means that your mind is trying to trick you back into it.
Yes this is what you consider a relapse. Do read the rules of nofap and try the discipline again, afterwards think of a nofap goal and be clear about what your aim is here. DO you want to get rid of porn? Do you want to retain semen? Do you want to abstain from Porn and masturbation together? Be clear of your goals and try again. Good luck.
I don't think so. You couldn't control the content of your dreams, and you didn't M. I say not a relapse.
Sounds like u have strong potential for "placebo" "effects". For every thought a chemical reaction is produced as a result. Peptides get manufactured. Placebos can cause the brain into being "tricked" into triggering send the hormones into the blood stream to make the body react. Real or imagined, the brain sometimes gets confused on what is "real" and what is not. So if you think sad thoughts, ur body may feel the "effects" and send a signal to produce a molecule of some kind to "reflect" the thought (signal). If your body reacted to a thought like that so easily, think about what else u could manifest if u channeled that energy through meditation...
Guys, thank you for your replies. After this situation I did streak for 25 days) Now Im returning to nofap))
