I’ve made it to day 30 of no porn, but I’ve masterbated without porn 5-6 times since about day 15, would that constitute a break in my streak? I have seen some mental benefits, but I wonder what the community thinks; Thanks in advance!
Is your goal to stop using porn? If that’s your goal and you didn’t use porn then you didn’t break your streak. Do be careful though. Masturbating very often will create cravings for “fantasy fuel” and that’s a danger zone.
Unfort one leads to the other. Best to abstain from them both.
I would say it counts at a relapse because you’re still conjuring up images in your mind to get yourself hard. Not sure your religious views but that’s still lust- which for me is a relapse.
Bro I just
😭
I think masturbating without porn can help to break the behavioral association between porn and masturbation but be careful as masturbating in general makes it easy to relapse into watching porn
