I don’t know if it counts as a relapse.

I masterbated to an imagine of a person but didn’t watch porn. Before that it had been 2 days since I watched porn. Does that count as a relapse?

In my opinion, it depends on your goal. The app's disclaimers state that it is not an anti-masturbation app but is primarily dedicated to detoxing from porn. However, if your goal—like that of many of us—is to quit self-pleasure altogether, then that's a different matter. A piece of advice for those commenting: not everyone chooses to quit for religious reasons; many do it for psychological reasons. Let's respect everyone's stories and goals, please

Yes, don’t watch porn, masturbate, or fantasize at all. Let it be fully real/in person arousal if you want the full benefits of rewiring

Maybe so but idk, I wouldn’t say it’s not trying to have a work around per se. I don’t mean do it every day, I think it’s killing the problem slowly. The only reason I say that is because that’s how I defeated my alcoholic problem, I was a heavy whisky drinker and made the switch to beer which I hated and found boring. Eventually i kicked the habit but it took going down levels slowly. Going cold turkey has never worked for me with porn, I just want to be free.

It sounds like to me you’re not really interested in breaking a bad habit but looking for a workaround for your problem, you need to commit and not justify your failing. It’s OK if you trip up and fail but recognize it for what it is understand that God forgives and DO BETTER but stop lying to yourself, start being honest with yourself first man, you can do it! (Hopefully this doesn’t sound rude just giving my honest opinion)

Yes it does, nobody relapses thinking about god
