Have I relapsed?

    I stayed orgasm free for 26 days and P free for 47. Just now a crush showed herself off completely on snapchat and I couldn't resist. But I didn't stroke myself, all I did was smack my balls out of frustration. The little dull pain was nice and I knew what was going to happen. And I continued and I came after a minute, with minimal pleasure and not even to the 3 second video but to my mind recalling it. Didn't stroke my dick(it was almost fully flaccid) and it was way less cum than I knew I would've given if I was jerking off. Did I relapse? My balls have been overflowing for days, I would've had a wet dream any day. How far behind did I set myself? I never finished from this fashion. My most difficult part is restarting a streak from 0 since it can always be started the next day, but I have no urge to cum again like I normally would.

    Any advice is appreciated, recently left my gf so there is no putting this off, its now or never.

    As for considering this acting out (a relapse), I think you need to answer that question for yourself. I'll point out the key phrase that stands out to me.

    In non-addictive lingo, people would usually use that in a way that indicates they chose the action.

    There's no objective measure for this. How much have you been working all aspects of your recovery? If you've been trying to grow as a person, this should be a teaching moment and you should be doing alright.

    This is a weird one, I suppose technically it is a relapse but at the same time the context is so different that perhaps outright resetting would be too drastic. Maybe just put this down to experience and either dont do anything or rewind the clock by a day to take into account the incident?

    When you say "showed herself off" do you mean she sent you nudes? (Sorry for the ignorance I have no idea how Snapchat works), this could also affect whether its fair to call it a relapse.

    A relapse is a binge of PMO, several times in the same day. You didn't relapse, but it's fair to reset.

    Remember that at this point you're already halfway rewired, so no need to stress over this event.

    Peace!

    Thanks for the answers guys. I'm not so sure about it being a relapse because half of the entire thing was just flexing my dick. I was that full, I probably would've been able to cum just by flexing. Feels like that is more goading a conscious nocturnal emission than relapsing.
