Does it count if I masturbate without looking at porn or any porn like stimulants? Like if I'm beating to my imagination or simply nothing at all, does that count as a relapse? Because I feel that's the equivalent to smoking fake cigarettes or something, but I don't know. I need a second opinion.
its a good way if you tried to quit before but failed but don’t stick with it long term because it does fuck up your dopamine, you can do it like i did and start by doing it once every 2 days without porn and decreasing the usage until stopping completely
Embrace pain. Dont seek pleasure. Do the hard thing. Not the easy thing.
From medical pov it’s not the same, because when you smoke cigarettes its not the dopamine that is the problem its the nicotine, but in this case it is the dopamine thats the problem. The thing that you are doing is still extracting dopamine which is obv not good.
I vote no
