    So i am ~50 days pmo free, but I have a problem with sleep fapping. I avoid all triggers and dont relapse whatsoever while awake. However, if i ever forget to wear jeans and a belt tightly to bed, some of the time I will wake up in the morning having ejaculated, slightly remembering sleep fapping, sometimes being slightly aware of it with no control while I am asleep. It is not a wet dream, it is fapping while i am asleep that i have ABSOLUTELY NO control of. Should I worry about this and keep trying to wear jeans to bed, or as long as i still stay away from PMO and any triggers while awake should I just consider this a normal phase of pmo and sleep like normal / not worry about it? Is it messing up my progress for this to happen on occasion if i have no mental control while asleep?

    Thanks
     
  2. Hm. Odd. To me, it seems hard to say. You're fapping which is an activity one should avoid, but you don't seem to be doing it on purpose.

    I would wait it out. Don't consider it a relapse since you really aren't trying to fap, are you? And see if it ends up going away.

    So you are physically masturbating to the point of ejaculation while asleep? I've not heard of this to be honest.

    Can I ask- if you are asleep, how do you know you are doing this? After all waking up to discover you have ejaculated is more typical of a nocturnal emission.
     
  4. I believe what you are saying here.
    Your subconscious mind can really trick you sometimes.
    Sometimes I have the same problem. On the verge between awakening and sleep I am sometimes playing with myself.
    To me it helps to speak to myself (= to my subconscious mind).
    In the same way are my prayings helping me. Then I focus on God in stead of my body.

    Of course, if it helps you to wear something during the night, why not?

    I don't think this is a relapse for you because you are not intending to masturbate.

    See when you are on the verge of sleep- do you play with yourself to the point of ejaculation though? I'm not really sure what the OP is saying, if he is 100% asleep I don't know how he knows he is doing this and if he is partially awake.... surely by the point of orgasm you would be awake enough to know you are doing it?
     
  6. Of course you know that.
    But let us wait for the OP to respond.

    I am slightly aware of it, but have absolutely no control, I guess very partially awake. I do not intentionally do anything sexual or any triggers at all

    I'll be honest with you, I've never heard of this nor have I come across someone who has had this happen. If I understand correctly, you are partially awake and slightly aware you are masturbating to the point of orgasm and yet have no control over it.

    Perhaps others here can advise you better on this particular issue.

    Acknowledge the problem, and don't restart. It doesn't matter if this is messing up your recovery progress or not, what matters is that you never go back and allow nothing to give you the excuse to go back. This is simply a problem, a problem that you can correct with time as you stay committed to your recovery. I would suggest, wear tight underwear to bed, and try being more mindful at night and remind yourself not to touch yourself - make that a rule, no touching in bed, ever, and give that time to become habitual.
     
  10. I have kind of the same problem, which i also made a topic about. In the morning i find myself fapping when i just woke up.. however i notice this behaviour before ejaculating..
    So what i started doing, as soon as im awake, and my hand is on my d... i just get out of bed and start moving. Last time this happened i touched my d maybe 30 sec, and i dont count that as a relapse cuz as soon as i was aware of it i stopped. Can only change things of which we are conscious of.
    If you are truly 100% asleep and fapping the point of O i recommend wearing pants... in my case it was during this in between state of sleep - wake, and as soon as awake and aware get up and start moving

  12. I think you don't have to be concerned about it.
    A relapse is when you choose to watch porn, or choose to stare at girls, and choose for an orgasm.
