    Day 25 of no PMO. Felt more confident and wanted to see how it was going, so decided w/ my gf that we'd try sex (suffered from PIED before and had never really worked unless used pills). Went great, didnt even think about holding an erection, and came for the first time with her, having been in the relationship for over half a year.

    To cum, didnt think or fantasize about anything, just closed my eyes and finished myself off (came twice actually, which shocked me).

    So, would this experience count as a relapse and I should restart, or see it as progress and continue? Have a bit of a chaser and desire to watch porn, though not very strong.

    Congratz on the 25 days! As for the relapse, you can decide for yourself if you see it as a relapse. Some do no pmo and some do no pm. Did it feel like a relapse to yourself?
     
  3. Congrats to your 25 days and congrats you had such a fine date.
    Well - the only question might be if you want to continue with No-PM. Forget P and M - you have such a lovely girlfriend.

    It's just a number. The harder part will be fighting the chaser effect over the next five days. Do whatever will help you win that uncoming fight.

    You state fighting the chaser effect for the next 5 days. Does this entail no PMO or just P, since I have already MO'd with my girlfriend?

    First of all, thank you. Secondly, I would like to forget M, but I have a LDR and the next time I'll be seeing my gf is May 26th, so quite a while until my next O. Wise to hold back on MO until I see her?

    I wouldn't consider it as a relapse simply due to the fact that this was a goal of ours, finally having me cum with her, and I see it moreso as an achievement. Just indesicive as what to do going forward.

    I method: No PMO for me. At all. I only allow sex with wife. I find MO even with wife is too lustful and eventually leads me to crave Porn.
    There are a lot of different takes on this. I recommend whatever you decide to do to keep a journal and track it thatway you wont make the sme mistakes twice. Hopefully!

    Well after reading that you are in a ldr i would say just have sexual interaction when you see her and if you find it to soon then wait till after your reboot. Congratz on reaching your goal btw!
