    Even though I was never an addict, I did Pmo to vanilla straight porn, nothing extreme, at least once a week on the weekend to release some tension.

    Byt then I decided to quit, therefore my first Streak was 83 days hard mode No Pmo, no fantization, no staring in public etc and I was really impressed with the results the glowing skin, masculinity, mental clarity the intelligence, but after 83 days I became bored and annoyed and relapsed, like wise lost some benefits, such as confidence, self-esteem etc and decided to restart.

    Later on my second hardmode a
    Streak was 41 days, and then I relapsed again and hated my self for it and slammed and broke my phone.

    So I started a new Streak, with the hopes to never give in to this evil habit again and today I'm on 42 days of my present Streak but earlier today I just peeked into a Nicki minaj music video which was highly sexulaized with shaking and twerking and I couldn't stop my self later and saw the whole 2 minute video till then end and then in the YouTube suggestion I saw Another Cardi B rap video which was even more sexulaized then the first one, I got a hard boner but I did not touch my self, black girls are my only weakness, I've never watched anything else except for straight vanilla porn black girls.

    Then I turned off my phone and took a shower, it happened few hours ago I'm still horney

    I just saw 2 rap video with Bbw black women twerking and shaking

    Did I just repalse

    Looking for a few more detailed answers in this case
     
  4. In my opinion everyone needs their own definition of a relapse and it can be constantly evolving. For example, my definition of a relapse initially only included watching porn and masterbating. Then i found myself looking at other things so my definition of a relapse includes the following:

    1. Actively seeking out and watching porn.
    2. Actively engaging in sexual chat rooms.
    3. Viewing escort websites and staring at the pictures.
    4. Visiting strip clubs social media pages.
    5. Actively seeking out adult oriented material (like porn stars or girls kissing) on YouTube

    By my definition you did not relapse. Although those music videos might be highly sexualized I would probably not consider them porn. I also need to admit I have not seen them so I don't know how graphic they might be. I would make a mental note of it to see if you start using that in place of porn.

    It releases dopanine, these are P subs.

    BUT ! It's still a music video tho and not infinite P videos on P sites.
    If it happens every now and then to see a music video don't be too harsh about it, close it and don't over do it.
    It's still progress.Slips like this can easily happen, remember not to fall into PMO tho. May God heal you of all sins.

  6. I think your good just dont chase the rush of wanting a boner. That's where I mess up one video will lead to more twerking vids and by then you want pmo. I think your fine tho

    I think others are answering your question just fine, but about your streaks, 80+ days is amazing. Great job and well get there.

  8. The other day I was extremely horny and massaged my p until it was hard while a suggestive video was on. I didn't necessarily M.
    Is that also a relapse?

    Relapse? Yeah of course you've relapsed, it's just a matter of perspective, you might not have ejaculated your semen out!!, but you've given certain dopamine jerk to your brain that, that will for damn sure delay rewiring your brain and keep your natural Stimulus down while artificial up.... I believe you should rewire yourself, get a purpose and whenever you will that way again, go for real life partner, that's completely natural and that's what exactly nature has programmed us for. Not for artificial stimuli.

    Brother, what I saw over there was not a relapse. It's a moment of weakness.

    Your default is perfectionism, you have to accept that slip ups every now and then are ok as long as you don't give up on your ideal and stance about porn.

    If you break a streak and aim to create a new one, that's not a relapse, it just indicates that you should learn from your mistakes.

    You should learn that "It's not useful to look for happiness in the same place you've lost it"

    Find a way to outsmart your weakness, don't self expose yourself, and expect not to fail. That is called setting yourself up to fail and it's not wise or smart.

    We all have bad days every now and then, but they should in no way determine who we are or what the rest of our lives should be.

    It depends on how long your streak was. In my opinion, if it happened involuntarily this fits into the "Accident category" and should in no way be subject to obsession.

    A lot of things happen by accident, and we shouldn't give them much thought otherwise they start to torment us.

    Don't adopt the defeatism attitude. If you slip every now and then, proudly pick yourself back up and continue where you left off.

    Don't take a slip-up as an excuse to get back to your old lifestyle, and don't let negativity convince you that you're a failure.

    We learn from mistakes, and the best of us are the ones that learn from our mistakes and avoid doing what makes us miserable.

    I have failed countless times during the past 2 years before I got the hang of it and understood the mechanisms of how "Porn addiction" works, I know all the tricks now, so it's hard for me to fail. It's even impossible for me to slip up and watch porn again because I'm conscious of all the possible trap permutations and I have built fortresses to keep them away.

    Hello! i did the same mistake but with a date app, i watched sexy girls photos and i get very horny but i didnt fap, what I did was reset to day 1. It is called a slip up, is not a relapse, is like you fucked up but not that much. And dont get so angry when you relapse to the point of breaking your phone, you are a human being too and make mistakes, and you dont loss everything you gained, you are a fkng beast, you contain so many days, i only resisted 6 days before watching the pictures and resetting, and 8 days with no M. Now im in day 2 because of the fkng reset.
