Does masturbating without porn count as a relapse because porn is the biggest issue to address for me but at the same time if I try to masturbate without it those images in my head either are porn or along those lines and overall just nasty thoughts? Lmk what yall think and consider it to be
It’s a gray area. On one hand you’re still technically using explicit images to get off. On the other it’s your head and it’s never as strong as visually watching porn. You can’t really compare the two cause porn is WAY more worse than using your head. If it keeps you from watching porn then it’s fine. But if it does the opposite and masturbating without it causes you to want to watch it more then stop. It depends on the person. For me I still masturbate just not with porn. And honestly it’s caused me to only masturbate twice a week instead of everyday when I would watch porn. So it personally helps me not to watch porn. It’s a paradox. But again it’s up to you. No it’s not bad but if it causes you to relapse more and more then stop.
