I’m seeing too many people on here asking if masturbating without porn is a relapse. Yes it is. You’re giving yourself a dopamine pump. It still feels good. You are still addicted. It’s great that you cut off porn. But doing one wrong thing to avoid the other isn’t going to cut it. Stop trying to play mental gymnastics. The only time ejactulating doesn’t count as a relapse is if you have a wet dream, or if you do it with your partner. Stay strong guys, I know it’s tough, but in order to heal we have to stay away from these temporary pleasures through dopamine pumps.

I agree, M. And if nothing else, if your goals are different and you’re okay with still doing that- please stoooop clogging the feed up with the same question 3,000000 times. 🙏🏻

Quitting porn is one thing but quitting porn and master baiting is an entire different challenge. For the ultimately disciplined and mind shift, you’re right, that’s what should be done

i disagree personally all our goals are different

Dude hahaha who are you to define what is a relapse for other people's objectives? Some people only want to quit porn, and if that's the case masturbating without it will not be a relapse. If you want to quit masturbation in general, good for you, but this is not the case for everyone.

Masturbating without porn will eventually lead to porn again
