Yesterday I have read a post about orgasm without physical stimulation, so I have (unfortunately) decided to try.. This is my experience: I have relaxed myself and I have thought about making love with my girlfriend...damn it works!! and I have reached a very strong orgasm.. I will probably reset my counter, but before doing that I would like to ask your opinion: How can this experience be classified? It's NoFap, it's no porn, and it feels so real. After this orgasm I didn't feel guilty at all, but on the other hand I am afraid that this experience can interfere with my target to overcome dopamine addiction. (This is the only reason why I think that a reset may be needed) Please tell me your point of view, any opinion/suggestion would be really appreciated.. Thanks
Interesting. Almost like a wet dream but awake and with purposeful, motivational thoughts... Seems like it's a lot of fantasizing though. But you mentioned it was with a real person (your gf), rather than a porn fantasy. So I don't know where I'd classify it. If there is a line, it's really close to it. So I'd be careful, if I were you. I don't think I'll try it as it could easily trigger other things for me.
If your doing hardmode than this is a definite reset based on the fact that you intentionally had an orgasm. If you've been having sex during the 67 days than I wouldn't reset because you didn't technically masturbate. On the other hand if your trying to rewire your brain to desire real sex than this could be a possible setback. Also when I did this it created a huge chaser affect and I ended up masturbating and had a total of 4 orgasms in 8 hours.
Thanks for the answers... I have reset the hard mode counter ( no doubt about it ) for the other one I will see if in the weekend I am ok or if I have urges.. In this last case I will reset everything.. In any case I won't do this thing anymore, especially because, as rahil said, can become addictive. Now I understand why some people ask if they must reset after having sex with their patner.. Technically speaking every orgasm can reinforce our addiction to pleasure, it is a really complex situation. It is very similar to food addiction, it is a part of ordinary life and you cannot cancel sexuality from your life..
if your trying to reboot, i would reset. if you are just staying away from "unhealthy" sexual activities like porn viewing and excessive masturbation than i wouldn't consider it a relapse.
Ok, I have reset, and these are my reasons: -Resetting after 67 days help me remind that what really matters is not a counter but what I have learnt and how I can control my body now, which of course is still inside of me. -If I don't reset I may feel motivated to do this thing again. -To remeber me that I am a human being and failure is part of the journey. -If I haven't reset, I could have felt dishonest while reaching 100 days. I prefer to rech the target 67 days later, but deserve it 100%. -Last and most important: I can apply to my life what my favourite poetry by Kipling says: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss... ... ...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! Thanks to all of you for the support!
