That's totally up to you. To many, edging is a form of relapse while for others full on MO is relapsing while edging isn't. Your goals and what you want to accomplish should inform whether edging is relapsing. For me, edging isn't relapsing because I consider MO to be the only form of relapse, but that's what works for my goals. Release of pre-cum, to me, isn't relapsing because you haven't reached orgasm.
Well, thank you! In truth, though, it's undeserved because I quit the forum back in February and never came back to update the tracker (if that's the streak you're talking about). I never went 135 days without PMO. That will soon change, though.
To a certain extent i agree but its damn difficult from being a freak to stopping completely. I think after a few days of flat lining i got a tiny dose of libido
I would consider edging a relapse, but in the end it's up to you. However beware- edging is worse than masturbating to orgasm in most cases. See this article for more info: http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/what-if-i-use-porn-without-orgasm
Don't worry so much if it was a relapse or not. That is simply a label. But what IS important is what it does to your progress. And stimulating dopamine production will slow your recovery. Fantasies, any kind of sexual arousal increase dopamine. You need to keep dopamine production down so that your receptors can come back to life

@numpty, did you read the article linked by @NoBrainer?^ This contains the key information to answer your question. I would also consider edging to be a relapse btw.
I have read it but only part of it makes sense From previous experience I know when i hadn't edge erections were better than if i did edge
@numpty, I am not sure what part doesn't make sense to you. But you are trying to reduce the overproduction of dopamine. But it is released during edging more than just about any other behaviour. So avoid edging like the plague! To repeat what has been said to you repeatedly, edging = relapse. Having erections and precum are irrelevant.
That video is excellent very informative particularly with the illustrations. Day one complete even though I spent most of the day in bed
