Should I reset?

    Two days ago I intentionally watched a few sexually suggestive videos of models on YouTube. None of the videos had any nudity but the women were wearing revealing outfits. One even had a see through top on. I didn't edge, masturbate, or orgasm. In fact I didn't touch myself at all. The only problem is that I'm doing hard mode and I reset whenever I look at porn. I've been thinking about this for two days and I'm not sure if I should count this as a relapse or not. Any suggestions?

    Sometimes you can't help seeing those sorts of things especially if you go on facebook or forums a lot. You may have watched it intentionally though which you should be aware of and not do it again. I don't think it's worth resetting but try keep away from that stuff if you can.

    I joined this forum today, but lurked about a week before hand and tried the challenge on my own. I didn't masturbate for 4 days, but every day I still went looking for videos or pictures.

    I think it probably is a relapse, but looking at your sig it looks like you went quite a while so congrats on that, man. Next time might be the time you make it.

    If you only did it that one time, then I wouldn't worry about it. But as Parvus said, you shouldn't do it again. If it happens too frequently then maybe it would be worth a reset. Good job so far! You're almost through your first month that's a great accomplishment. Just keep pushing forward

    If you were intentionally looking for it, I would reset my own counter. If not [be honest] then I wouldn't.

    dont reset - that was not porn.

    but be careful watching stuff like that. it can trigger you to watch porn.

    if you go outside the door you see many girls dressed like that.

    no need to exaggerate - in nearly every movie there are sexual-scenes.

    Seconded. Although the "does this count or not" question is one of the reasons I have two counters.

    I agree don't reset but as others have said it can be a trigger and you can find yourself viewing videos of that nature for hours. Keep fighting the good fight.

    Thanks for the responses. Had 5 days to think about this and I decided that I will not be resetting. The reasons being what I saw was not pornography, it didn't escalate to pornography, I didn't edge, I didn't masturbate, I didn't orgasm, and it didn't cause a chaser effect. Also I can't consider something that doesn't have any nudity in it pornography. I have no intentions to look at any videos like that again, but I don't feel it's reset worthy.
