Does watching porn but not orgasming count as a relapse?

    Hey everyone, I'm new here,

    I've been watching this community for years, however never formally became a member until today.
    Over the past few weeks, there's been a convenient amount of videos coming up on my Youtube, regarding the "Benefits of NoFap" and the "benefits of semen retention", etc. For three weeks I haven't masturbated, nor touched myself and to be honest, I hadn't even felt motivated to look at porn; that is until two nights ago. For several hours I sat and watched the pornography. I touched myself to it, but never to the point of ejaculation or orgasm. I have been doing this for the past few days, much to my own disappointment. Unfortunately, I have dedicated an unhealthy amount of time watching porn these past few days, similarly to how I used to several weeks ago. This has led me to question as to whether this counts as a relapse or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks my guys

    Hey man, welcome.

    It's a tough one, it's not strictly relapsing per se, because you aren't PMOing. But it's definitely not good for you.

    There's a reason why you went back to watching it after 3 weeks. Your brain still associates porn with pleasure, and you need to cut that connection completely.
