    So I'm currently in college and there are tons of beautiful women everywhere who wear tight/revealing clothing. At times, I feel like i'm on a softcore porn site. Do I have to take this into consideration when rebooting? At what point would something like that cause a reset? I do not willingly look at any women, but, like I said, it is basically everywhere you look.
     
  2. You need to feel comfortable enough to look at them and not have to go masturbate. But maybe you aren’t ready yet. Try avoid looking, but every day maybe look a little more and more. And maybe try asking one out?

    I'm not looking at all while in reboot. Half the time my social anxiety is through the roof. I'm just wondering if I would ever need a reset from something like that. I'm guessing not
     
  4. All you need to do is not look at porn or touch yourself. Looking or not looking is your call.
     
  5. I wouldn’t consider it a relapse but try your best to avoid ogling.

    Somewhat controversial view... when you start really getting interested in the girls around you, you know the reboot is working. During the height of my addiction I seriously didn't find anyone attractive outside of porn.

    That said, once it starts coming back to you, be careful because they can seriously push you to relapse.
     
  7. The world happens. None of this is easy and this is one of those things we have to get over. The world will not change because we have put ourselves on this journey and for a time, temptation and urges will be very strong. See but don't stare, acknowledge things and move on.
    This hyper sensitivity will calm down in time.

    Glad to hear, because it is very unbearable at times

    When I think about the word tons, I think about hundreds and even thousands of women lining up to go out with me, lol. But with me, it started out with my thinking and obsessing over it over time. But I did plenty of research online about obsessive thinking and I came with a diagnosis that I have intrusive thoughts. But as I started to develop self-discipline and self-control over time my urges became weaker.

    Now you know why modesty is important.
