I can say after successfully going 9 months no pmo I masturbated...I didn't fantasize on porn but a past sexual encounter...is this somehow gonna slow down my reboot?? Should I not masturbate again for a while?? I don't really have a crave to watch porn but its been a long time I had sex so I felt a need to reward myself by masturbating atleast once lol
..thanks to the nation and any advice would be appreciated
 
Hey Mike!
If I understand correctly: No PMO, just MO. 9 months hard mode.
It is a long time and you felt you were ready, that is good. It's not a relapse! Just be aware of the chaser effect and only do things if you know that you are 100% in control. (i.e. make a decision, then agree with that decision for 24 hours, then act upon decision).
So its not slowing down your reboot I think. Just don't do it more than you should, it shouldn't be part of your (dopamine) reward system.
If you want to M, think of a reasonable frequency and stick with it. Only M with sensation, not fantasy and especially not porn fantasy. Do it when you're fully awake and take your time. Important: Avoid weird M techniques such as death grip (tissue massage) ( http://www.curedeathgrip.com/index.html[/u]]http://www.curedeathgrip.com/index.html ), make use of lube (You're old enough to look the cashier dead in the eye while paying for it :) , you can even wink at her ;) ), Quality over frequency.
Don't forget life is happening, and do not use masturbation to cheer yourself up if things are getting down. It's a slippery slope that can land you back in old habits.
All in all: Congrats on making 90 days! Super awesome and Inspirational! Don't MO too often and use proper technique.

Thank u and I really appreciate the advice.. I had 9 months of ups and downs but I finally feel I'm in total control which is a beautiful feeling. I definitely am not gonna be masturbating often if not at all but it had been a while. I'm still continuing my journey  of no pmo because I finally feel Alive and more motivated then ever. Thanks again and I hope for yourself and everyone in the nation to have a successful reboot.
