If you fantasy about real sex is it considered to be a relapse?

    Hello guys ! New to NoFap here. My question is simple. Do you relapce if you fantasy and think about real sex that you had with a partner or a partner that you would like to have? Lets say a colleague. Thanks for anybody that will answer.

    No. it isn't. But why you wanna fantasize ? Maybe focus the energy into finding a gf instead

    I personally wouldn't consider it to be a relapse but you need to be careful. On one of my longest streaks, I spent like an hour thinking about sexual fantasies of mine and it led to a relapse. It's completely normal to have those thoughts throughout the day but it's important not to fixate on it.

    Try to stop it. You can use that mental energy elsewhere. I must say though even in pure hard mode thoughts remain the annoying issue, so the earlier you start trying to manage them the better.

    What about if accidentally see a sexy woman when you serfing on Facebook or see a woman with a sexy swimmwear on Instagram? Is it a relapse? Is it bad for our condition?

    Then stop using those sites/apps. Do you really need someone to tell you that?

    Try not to fantasize even real sex dude , it brings in the same situation which occurs in porn and fantasizing beats the purpose,your brain is trying to get used to the no porn life and fantasizing just brings your brain back to the level of when you watched porn, It's no use pal and edging is pretty risky because it can lead to a relapse or a reset even though a reset isn't that bad.If you want to satisfy your sexual urges you can start an actual physical relationship with you romantic partner.
    STAY STRONG!!!
