    Alright, So this is my 4th day of NoFap right now, But yesterday, I stroked on it for like 10 seconds but didn’t even feel semen rushing through to the tip or dopamine rush into my brain, Is that a relapse or edging?

    I’m currently going on hard mode with my own rules
    No Porn, Although porn doesn’t really matter to me because porn wasn’t the reason i masturbate
    No M and O, We all know that
    And no edging, I was on a 16 day streak before some days and i edged and fucked everything up and relapsed the next day.

    But anyway, Does that count as a relapse?

    Depends on how you define relapse. For me, just searching and clicking on a porn website intentionally is a relapse coz a slight glance of it does have an effect such as increasing heart rate due to the dopamine rush albeit not as much as when I actually intend to masturbate. In ur case, i think its impressive to be able to hold off the urges as u were already in position of no escape, but it all comes back on how you feel about it.

    Personally, As long as semen didn’t start to build up and reach the tip, I’m fine with it, Because i know myself as a horny person alot and i’m trying my best to get over it, But thanks for the help !
