    hi guys
    today is 55th day , and yesterday i watched something talked about sex between 3 men and one women with some pictures (it was not sexual or even has nudity form any type ),so i remembered porn and i felt with desire to watch it but i didn't watch but when i went to bed i found myself fantasize and play with myself but( not to the extent that makes me want to ejaculate or even has a very strong erection ,i was semi erected ) and after a while i realized what i was doing and stopped and tried to sleep an after i slept i had a dream about watching porn and i'm rubbing my self when, i waked up i was still so sleepy (semiconscious) i was rubbing myself (especially because in my dream i was playing my self) and when i get back to my full conscious i stopped and now i'm afraid about this was a relapse . and i decided no matter what i'll recall about porn i won't let myself do this again

    my questions are:
    is this a relapse ?
    when i will feel with changes in my memory i'm in the 55th day and i don't feel much better either in my mood and my memory ?
    in last period i had a lot of dreams about watching porn or playing myself and i wake up in fear but then i realize these were dreams, will it affect on my progress and what should i do ?

    thanks in advance if i could't replay because i have some problems with the internet connection

    Whether it's a relapse or not is a matter of opinion but personally I would say no.

    I think what you have to remember is that this isn't a competition with a strict set of rules, the point is that whenever you engage in any kind of "arousing" activity by yourself you are strengthening/reconnecting those old pathways that you're trying to break free from. At the end of the day you're only cheating or damaging yourself when you do things that you know you probably shouldn't, even if it doesn't actually involve porn or masturbation.

    Porn dreams are normal, it's just your subconscious trying to get you to go back to your old ways. I'm day 50 and have had them for the past three days. This morning I woke up and felt terrible because I thought I'd just relapsed, I even had a brief thought that I may as well just go and watch porn now but then a few seconds later I realised actually I didn't relapse at all and it was just a dream. I'm sure they'll become less frequent over time.

    a
    first thank you bro
    actually, i think it's not relapse too ,but i don't know what's problem with me
    in addition to the neural pathway is trying to get back to its previous state not back to this state as you said ,they will back to this state if you respond to these feelings and relapse, the neural pathway will back to its previous state

    i'm sorry for annoying you brother ,but seriously i don't know what's my problem these days i feel a lot of OCD attack
    thanks for interacting with my post it helped me a lot :emoji_hearts:

    Men are programmed to wanna shag, if you dont have an active sex life with a partner then any exposure to sex or talk of it is really gonna kick in the urges hard.

    Its just part of being male and having testosterone. You didnt PMO so I wouldnt say thats a standard relapse, infact you displayed great discipline in the height of such strong urges and should be proud you overcame them too continue your streak.
