Are sexy images a danger as well?

In answer to the title of your post, yes. These images are definitely a danger.
We often draw an arbitrary line between P and "sexy pics" simply because the subjects of the image are wearing some form of clothing, even though it is lacking. You must understand, however, that the switches going on in your brain are essentially the same. While P may be more intense, this isn't doing you any favors.
I can't tell you what to call this (a relapse, a reset, nothing) because the choice is ultimately yours based on your standards and goals. You did something that hindered you, but you did not MO and you stopped yourself. It's a failure paired with a victory. Just reflect on it for a while, figure out what your standards are for your NoFap journey, and then call it what you'd like.
Best of luck!

 

i think it could be a danger if you think of porn while watching these pics. But i dont think that you have to a restart. Hope you can hold it brother

 

Please, don't let yourself lose all of the progress you've made to stupid photos! Stay away from them as they can lead to another relapse. I hope this has helped you!

I think you probably already knew the answer to this. It does sound like you may be setting yourself up for a relapse. Feel free to message me if you feel the need to reach out to someone.

 

Of course they are. When I was in counseling/group therapy, one of the givens was the three second rule. We sexualize everything. When something like "borderline nsfw" is in front of us, move on in no more than three seconds. If you can't do this, then you might as well be looking at porn.

 

Yes

 

These images are indeed a danger! Our brains can’t get enough so we will seek the next thing that makes us excited. It’s a vicious cycle.

 

Cravings and urges aren't always obvious. Sometimes they come in a very subtle form, thoughts and compelling reasoning on how something is perfectly reasonable and logical, like sexy images being okay, that it makes sense to MO right now to make sure you didn't suddenly develop ED, it's easy to get tricked by your own mind

 

Hahaha I was in the gym today and as I'm working out on the bicep curl machine there's a picture of a women in her gym wear cleavage out.... I thought this is not helping... it not porn but it's a trigger which can lead ya down tge path of relapsing.

 

Sexy images is artificial stimuli. We are fighting that here. our brain conditioning towards that. fight that urge even to look at the pictures. train your brain not look and eventually weaken the pathways controlling that.

 

Your fighting that here.
I'm fighting to not watch porn or masterbate. I'm not going to close my eyes if I come across a pretty Girl on a poster. X

 

It's stimulation. If you are really committed to the Nofap. You have to remove all triggers. It's basic.
