Hi there! I’m on my 6th day on NoFap and my current goal is to reach 30 days and so on. Lately I have been watching porn during night time (second time yesterday). Does it count as relapse?
Hey bro keep calm all will be fine u just be motivateb
What’s your goal on nofap journey?
Is it to stop watching porn?
To me it is a relapse if your goal is to stop watching p
You are also edging which is very dangerous to us nofapers

One of the central ideas of nofap is to give your brain a chance to drop it’s dopamine levels to normal again by not providing it with the high you get from PMO. Watching porn will definitely stop you from achieving that. In the beginning your dopamine levels would be low without PMO but once you get past 15-20 days its soo fucking worth it.

Most of the time porn and fapping are linked together so you want to avoid it as both. However count it as you want it. If you’re just doing nofap than no it is not. But if you’re also doing no porn, it is. Don’t get discouraged man. We’re here for you
Ive done this before. About one month then youlll realise some of the benefits(or maybe before tht). But not the same as avoidibg both. Like less anxiety, clear mind(not so much but still better than day1). Then i decided to do the real way for more benefits. Spoiler alert I failed that time.
Also Ive done nofap like 120± with 3 times edging to P. Every time I start over clean from PMO the struggle got different. esp after the 3rd edging and went like 50days clean. It was still hard the first weeks but not like nofap before these 120streak with wet dream, morning wood, annoying jolt during sleep etc…
So I think most importantly take it slowly but surely. Whatever suits you. The difference will be healing time and crazy withdrawal throughout (if any)
Though I suppose many would not agree doing nofap without avoiding P cause thats how you relapse. My case was like sort of unintentional. I just cant leave P but hateful enough to start over and also not knowing that edging is as bad as pmo. That fine balanced was incidental and then I realised slight change that interests me. That was last time and then came the 100++ streak with edging btw intervals…
But What if porn pops up randomly like an picture or a gif? Is it still a relapse because you saw it?
@SirNuttyy if you don’t edge it shouldn’t count as a relapse. If you act on the gif or image then yes.
I’d say don’t be uptight about categorizing a relapse but be clear about what you want to accomplish.

Because it was an accident no. Best thing to do is to shut it off when it happens don’t get caught up in it.

Thanks for the support! This time it is for real. Summer is here and I need to get serious with this disease and stop it for once. I need to regain my confidence back, my self-esteem back, school will begin in a month and 2 weeks so I need to have a sharp intelligence, etc.
