    Hi guys
    I'm on 48th day and unfortunately about 2 hours ago
    I watched some sexy and erotic seances (some included full frontal naked dancing girl intentionally):( and there was a porngraphic picture this picture was accidentally but all of the other was intentionally

    I watched for about an hour or less
    And then I went to urinate surely there was a some of precum in my underwear
    And now my mind is telling me that i will continue a relapse and think about relapsing a lot and feel strong desire to watch explicit porn


    Note: now I can't sleep because of strong urge

    1- Should I relapse and waste all of the last time ?
    2- Is it count as a relapse ?


    I wanna advice about one more thing which makes me suffer these days

    2 or 3 days I'm suffering from big lust for having sex not porn (I'm not married I'm single) what should I do ?

  2. Tough one. On one hand, there is a danger that counting it as a relapse means your brain may give you the OK to keep on going, it might be better to look on the positive side here, it wasn't a full-on relapse and shouldn't be counted as such.

    On the other hand watching p-subs for an hour kinda goes against the grain of it all and probably is just as unhealthy and is not contributing to a recovery.

    Difficult not to view stuff accidentally but choosing your reaction is always possible. Also strong urges are part and parcel of it, they will pass if you can live through it. Don't throw all your progress away!

  3. No, don't relapse. It is a reset, but if you give into your urges and lose all your progress, it would be a mistake.

    Uhm you're halfway thru nofap. I don't care what other fapstronauts say. I've done pretty good streaks, currently on i think day 111 (resetted counter to motivate a smol fapstronaut xd) so yeah everyone's done it. The thing what separates successful fapstronauts to day 1 losers is that the decisions you make at this crucial time. I'd honestly stop viewing such stuff and go full monk mode and throw my phone away for a week.
    Just play it cool and continue your streak.
    Relapse only if you feel like relapsing after a week.
    Or maybe just keep going and subtract the days after day 90

    you exposed ur brain to a very small dose of that sweet dopamine you get from PMO. It happened to me, I was on a high streak, I wanted to relapse and did not have access to technology. I only had my PS4 but the internet was very very slow so I ended up relapsing on a photo.
    it felt like shit, my brain was in shock and I felt more desired for porn than the desire you get when you on a very long streak and I still haven't relapsed.

    So basically what happened is like when your off a drug and ur brain realizes that its not getting that drug, it starts to calm down. when it feels the sensation of that drug it starts beating you up to get more.

    By the way, if you feel like relapsing then that mean your still on the streak and you don't have to reset your counter.

    Remember, pain is temporary, that urge is gonna fade away fast. don't worry.
     
  10. You watched Porn intentionally, it is a relapse. But it is not tragic. Reset the counter and keep going. It is not like everything is lost. It should be easier this time.

    Hi White dragon, resetting the counter would be stupid thing to do because you are making progress you shouldnt reset. By the way i wrote a post specificcally for people like yourself to help them with relapses. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-relapse.249317/#post-2229509

    I hope it helps
