    So I haven't fapped since the 14th of February but the last couple of days I felt the strong urge to fap but I said no today I rubbed my private part to the underwear three times and I was on the verge of fapping but I stopped myself and I took a cold shower and I focused on something else , when the urge came back I was going to do the same thing I did earlier but I didn't, I went to the bathroom to take another cold shower I did the same thing I did earlier but this time it was five times instead of three I feel that my private part is erect all the time and the urges at all time high should I reset :( ?

  2. No, don't reset. Afterall, you didn't O. However, edging is a sure-fire way to go back to PMO. Don't touch anything.

  4. You have to realize that this is no different than an alcohol or drug addiction. One is never, ever truly recovered. That one sip of alcohol, or fap in this case, will bring the person back to how they were, especially if they binge. Even if you do relapse, look at your badge as a ratio of fapping to nofap days. However, don't use this as an excuse to do it just this "one time." Also, because one never really gets fully recovered, benefits continue throughout your entire life. Afterall, it makes you face reality head on.

    You stopped yourself you didn't MO I'd say your fine. But like the other have said if you don't avoid touching you could easily fall right back into it.

    As lame as it sounds, I've taken a "hands off" approach unless absolutely necessary. Because for me that's all it took sometimes and before I knew it I had relapsed..

    Good luck and congrats on your progress!
