Had sex with a girl yesterday

Appreciate it gentlemen. I have to agree with Kean on this, my reasoning isn’t for religious reasons, it’s for establishing that connection with an individual. Porn/Jerking Off doesn’t do that.

It depends on your reason for quitting. If your goal is based on religious or moral values, like many people here, then yes, having sex might be considered a relapse. But if you’re doing NoFap for self-improvement and recovery from porn addiction, it’s different. Personally, I don’t see sex with a real partner as a relapse, unless it triggers the same negative patterns. If you performed well and the experience was healthy and consistent, that’s progress. You’re rewiring your brain to respond to real intimacy instead of artificial stimulation. But if you struggled - like with delayed ejaculation or porn-induced ED - it could create stress or frustration that pulls you back into porn. That’s why I’m holding off on sex, not because I think sex is bad, but because I want to be symptom-free first, just to be sure. What I do consider a relapse is video sex, exchanging nudes, or fapping to her pictures and vids. That’s still screen-based arousal, which reinforces the same porn pathways we’re trying to break.

If you look at a woman lustfully we are committing adultery

People will have differing sobriety definitions. I count any activity until I marry. I’d personally recommend either that or some standard of “relationship seriousness,” since casual encounters definitely feed the overall Lust addiction.

There’s nothing natural about having sex with just anyone. It’s natural to have sex with your wife. Sin and our flesh has normalized sex with just anyone. It was meant to be between a married man and married woman….

Yes i would say so. I count it. Anything including sexual immorality is a sin. Outside of marriage i count it. If you care more about ending your streak then you do with committing adultery then i would recommend and suggest to change that! If by resetting your streak will help you hold yourself accountable then i would recommend doing it. If you ask if it will break your streak you know very well that it should. Hoping you turn your life around, repent and follow and seek Jesus Christ. He died so that we may live. He is the way the truth and the life ! With him you can stay strong and fight the flesh

Then in that case ur good, releasing the natural way should be the only way

Definitely depends on how you view sex in my opinion. If it’s between yall two and in the moment then no. If your imagining someone other then her to get off then yeah

Not if yourbgoal is to quit porn and jerking off

Also, sex outside of marriage in my opinion is wrong. But that’s just me.

My opinion. If you feel like you have to question it. Then the answer is yes.
