    Guys I am reaching 7day mark,
    I red some article on SPAM REMOVED - REPORT TO MODERATION and there were stated that sometimes its ok to MO once just to realease all the tention. And its not considered as full relapse nor reset.

    So I am wondering what do you think about it? What do you think are the condition that is ok to fap?

    I have massive urges now and I now when I MO urges wont go away anyway -> I am no going to MO.
    But I am wondering f.e. after 10days if I MO and not follow trough with fapping madness, whether its OK and wont hurt me at all.

    Hello.
    For a full reboot I would recommend you go for at least straight 90 days without any sexual stimulation and release except potential wet dreams. Masturbation it's a way to release the tension, that's true, but we need to distinguish situation of a person who is addicted and a normal one, for which masturbation is not as dangerous and destructive.
    For example - it's okay to drink a glass of wine from time to time, it's good for digestion, everyone said. But would you recommend it for a person which is an alcohol addict during withdrawal? For that kind of person even a sip can cause that this person would go back to drinking again in a exaggerated manner. There are plenty of other ways to release the tension you may have. Meditation, working out, even taking a cold shower. Do not look for excuse, your brain will try to trick you in many times...

    Thanks good points ;)

    I wonder how many people truly reached 90day mark without edging/masturbating

    It's stricly personal thing. I would not feel good with a feeling that I somehow cheated in case of rebooting. I go all in. There are of course some people out there who are not feeling guilty after edging or peeking some filthy pics, for me that's just a self-harming action...
