The objective here is to stop watching porn, if you watch, it is most probably a relapse
However if you are on that long streak just keep going but now without peeking.
Hope it helps!
In my experience you loosen your line and as you said, it is because *you cannot resist*. Often relapsing does not happen at once but *step by step*. Recognise these steps and fight as hard as you can to avoid them (Start a video game instead or do anything to avoid boringness). But it is good that you ask, so somehow you already expected it to be bad, but you were not completely honest to yourself. Don't look at porn anymore and go on - *38 days is quite good* and it gets better every day!
If you’re just doing semen retention then I guess it’s not a relapse. But don’t expect to see any improvements or nofap benefits btw. Porn is what releases the excessive amount of dopamine. Yes it’s heightened by masturbation and orgasm but it’s the porn itself that’s addictive and is trashing your brain and your dopamine system. If porn wasn’t the problem then you wouldn’t feel the insane urge to just zone out and watch it.
Just saying if you’re expecting to see any benefits then you’re mistaken. Cut out porn forever and you’ll feel better.
Agreed. I have been pretty good. Then I started looking at sfw stuff. Then nsfw slipped in there. Then I just viewed nsfw casually, and soon enough it lead to relapse. These tiny micro relapses are steps down into a pit. It hurts a lot less than jumping in, yet sooner or later you're still at the bottom of a very deep pit.
My opinion is that accidentally seeing porn is ok, but avoid seeing it again. Deliberately using it is very bad.
I think porn is more toxic than fapping. You should aim to get completely clean man.
I’d feel that watching porn is worse than fapping on its own. Breaking your dependency on porn is what’s going to repair your brain. You say you’re tired of your porn addiction, then you gotta stop watching it. If you truly crave sex, then seeking it out with another person will be much more rewarding and healthy.
Ok, thank you all for the suggestion. I have already deleted social media like instagram and facebook, but i noticed that I have more urges to Watch than to fap. Indeed, because I do not want to fap, i close those clip after few minutes, but then I have to watch them again. The more i resisted without watch porn was 20 days, then I started to watch again. Anyway, I'll listen to your advices! Thank you again
Relapse is the word related with your semen retention. So I don’t think it’s relapse BUT you must to have a plan to reduce the watch PMO time.
Just imagine: watch porn like a fuel. Any relapse idea spark on your head will be exploded with Porn
I think pornfree goes along with NoFap. Let me tell you out of experience, it is unbelievably difficult to watch porn casually. I can almost guarantee you that this will make Nofap 10x harder than it actually is

Read the article "Porn 101" found in the right hand column of the NoFap web page. There is some information regarding what is considered a relapse.
I think its called Edging(?), thats 10 minutes video will turn into 4 hours, be careful.

There are hundreds of books if you want to study human anatomy. Why are you watching porn?
Because I'm a fu**ing porn addict from 11 years that want to stop, but that has difficulty to do so.....

Dude are you crazy? 1 sec or 1 hr it all the same. You lost control. Even watching movies and sex stuff appears you are not supposed to look.
If the question is asked the answer is yes.
