"Accidentally" Saw porn gif.

Grey zone. You could guess from the name of the blog that there could have been problems.

Felt aroused? I must suppose no, by reading your lines.
I would not consider it a relapse, don't worry

 

I used to suffer a similar problem where softcore images would be displayed on the sidebar of news websites I would visit to read the local news. I used to get cocky and click on them thinking nothing would go wrong, but inevitably it was always the beginning of the end for the streak and I would relapse soon after. Now I browse a different site but the issue still happens occasionally, except now I dont click on the images and immediately scroll down or close the tab when it does.

My point is that it only counts as a relapse if you are actively engaging in it. It isn't really your fault if you see something that triggers you and you had no way of knowing it would be there, but I think the fact you were expecting erotic content means that on some level you were engaging with it. For now I would say learn your lesson and dont go to these sorts of sites, even with a web filter a lot of them still get through.

 

@AtomicTango and others:

For Chrome and Firefox, you can install the "Adblock Plus" extension - that will stop most of the ads that show up on the sides of webpages

 

Wouldn’t count it as a relapse, since you accidentally saw it and you weren’t actively searching for it. If your brain was telling you to look for it, and you saw it on purpose, I’d consider it a relapse.

 

I have adblock already, the images I was referring to were actual articles on the site. I wrote a thread about it a few days ago where I questioned why in the hell it was counted as being news.

 

Yes, I always have trouble sleeping after a comedy with Leslie Nielsen, lol!

But what you did yesterday was unwise, not a relapse. Even if you intended viewing a porn gif for 2 or 3 seconds it is doubtful how much 'damage' would be done at the time. The risk with unwise behaviours are that they can, over time, move the limits of what is unacceptable more and more towards porn and/or masturbation and/or orgasm. Be careful.

 

I always believed that it only counts as a relapse if you engaged in it and it led you down a path where you started to fap off or search out more erotic images/videos. If its an accident then its out of your control don't beat yourself up about it. This has happened to me a few times i went to a website and then you see some advert or an image or something which is erotic but i pay no attention to it. I would feel bad if it caused me to fap off but not if i just scrolled past it and ignored it.

 

Tell yourself its only pixels and not real woman and move on. Its like me being super attracted to Jennifer Lawrence, but i don't want to fap to her pixels but have the real Jennifer herself.

 

I feel ya on some Charisma Carpenter. Sure you weren’t P-subbing?

Why the hell are you clicking on blog called Sensual Fetish? What did you think would be on there—holiday muffin recipes?

You didn’t jerk it so that’s good. Stop clicking on obviously sexual websites.

 

Because you didn't jerk off, and you also didn't want to see that gif, I would say that it shouldn't count as a relapse, but instead count it as a half-relapse, where if you do anything like that again, then count it as a relapse.


Also, I've been seeing a ton of people with little quotes or saying their best streak above their PMO tracker. How do you do that?
