I started NoFap 4 days ago, I was doing fine until this morning. I made the mistake of testing myself. I attempted to watch a porn video without touching myself. I don't feel guilty about the relapse, I don't see any point in beating myself up over it and I'm going to move forward. However, what I want to know is, do I have to start over from Day 1? or continue from Day 4?
Day 1 mate. Watching porn without masturbating is rather pointless isnt it. The whole point of porn is to masturbate, so what was it going to prove? It was either going to end with you not masturbating immediately but feeling more aroused and more likely to m in the near future, or it was going to end as it did, with you pmo ing straight away. Either result is not very helpful. Be strong bro, avoid the porn.
Thanks for the reply. Porn is definitely the problem and I'm going to avoid it at all costs. When I started NoFap I thought viewing alternative models would be a problem as well, but it's not. Yes, I enjoy looking at women in lingerie or latex, with piercings and tattoos. I have been looking at these type of women for years and ever since I started NoFap, I haven't been aroused nor have I wanted to masturbate after viewing these pictures. I will start over from Day 1 and I will avoid PMO at all costs because it is obviously the problem. Once again, thanks for replying
Yeah I like those pics too pal. Its not easy mate, believe me ive had a few relapses so far but were still here and still trying yes? Stay strong
Even if I go a month and relapse, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Why should I? Especially when going longer than I did the first time is progress. I don't think anyone should beat themselves up over a relapse, just move forward and try harder at not PMOing again.
