If you started on October 8th and stroked it on Saturday, you might feel like you need to restart. Many people in the NoFap community believe that any form of acting on urges counts as a relapse. It’s up to you to decide if you want to reset your progress or keep going. Be honest with yourself.

2. Is This Sub for No Porn?

Yes, r/NoFap is about avoiding porn and other sexual behaviors that you feel are not healthy for you. The goal is to promote self-control and focus on personal growth.

3. How to Show Progress Under My Username?

To show your progress, you can use a progress tracker. Many people create a simple text or image banner. You can find templates online or make your own. Just follow the guidelines of the subreddit to ensure it fits their rules.

4. Does Touching My Dick When Horny Count as Failing?

Touching yourself can be seen as a relapse by many in the community. If you want to stay on track, it’s best to avoid any actions that lead you away from your goals. Stay strong!

5. What Can I Do to Distract Myself?

When you feel the urge, try these distractions:

  • Go for a walk or exercise.
  • Read a book or listen to music.
  • Pick up a hobby or start a new project.
  • Call a friend or family member.

6. When Does It Get Easier?

Every person’s journey is different. For many, it becomes easier with time and practice. Stay committed, and you will likely notice a change in your urges within a few weeks.

7. Do Wet Dreams Count?

Wet dreams are natural, especially for teens. Most people do not count them as relapses since they happen during sleep and are not a conscious choice.

8. What Counts as Relapsing?

Relapsing can mean any action that goes against your goals. This includes watching porn, masturbating, or engaging in sexual activity you want to avoid. Define your boundaries clearly to keep track of your progress.

You have a big goal to reach by the new year. Stay focused, and remember to be kind to yourself along the way. Good luck on your journey!
