Help me decide

As others are saying: did you intentionally seek it out or did it just fall in your lap by chance? If it so happened to fall in your lap, then I assume it was on some type of social media, which in that case, you need to clean up the accounts you follow so that this doesn’t happen again. Or else the next time it does, you might not even be asking whether to reset or not bc whatever “fell into your lap” was worse leading you to actually reset/relapse. Honestly I say you can give yourself some grace and not reset, but this journey requires you to be honest with yourself. Everyone here sort of defines what constitutes as a relapse slightly differently, so I encourage you to define it for yourself, then stick to it.

Semen retention is pseudo science that doesn’t have any scientific validity

Don’t use that as an excuse to watch tho. Do your best to extend your streak week in week out and do not masturbarte. Semen retention gives you fucking energy and everything just starts getting better that makes it much easier to choose real life bro I’m sure you feel it at 9 days.

You gotta ask did you lead yourself there or was it uncontrollable? If you’re asking us should you reset, maybe you know you should but don’t want to because of your 9 day streak.

Did you intentionally search for it? If yes then it’s a reset.

Yeah I’ve been addicted since 5th grade I’m 22 now

I read someone say something about microdosing. If the addiction has been heavy I think just fading it out completely one day is impossible. As the time goes on it will be easier to choose the real world instead
