Question
Is having sex considered relapses ?
Depends on your attitude. If it’s to replace what you see on your screen with reality, I’d rather say yes. If it’s to build a connection with your sex partner, I’d say no. How did you feel in the moment of sex: more connected to the one you had sex with? More present in the moment? Or was it more a comparison to what you consume and see in porn? As I consider it a process to live away from porn towards healthy sexual relations, see on your own scale between where you are and decide for yourself… and most of all, no matter what you decide: be gentle towards yourself. You’re on a journey - and you’re not alone
It depends on what your trying to overcome if you’re trying not to have sex then yes but if your just trying to stay off porn then no
No brother its not. Its healthy. Natural. And one of the purposes of your body. With a partner, thats not at all a relapse. We are here to quit porn, the things that ruins sex among many other things. Its all good man, enjoy your partner, thats why we are here. So we can be more in the moment and genuine with partners and people in general
I wouldn’t really count it as a relapse if it’s with your partner, if it’s a one night stand or a fling then yeah maybe, but if it’s your partner I wouldn’t count it because that’s both of you not just you. I wouldn’t get addicted to it though if I was you, this is not a replacement for porn.
Yes
It’s not a relapse if you’re married.
