Do I have to reset?

I would say its a matter of personal conviction. if you were intentionally viewing that for the sake of arousal then you might have to reset your counter. if it is going to bother you that you didn't reset it than that is bad. I'm sorry I'm not much help.

 

If you touched your penis, then I would reset. But you didn't say you did, so no.

 

It's personal, I think. For me, my streak is still intact because I haven't edged or M'd. I have slipped in going to certain chat rooms or looked at images (for a short period of time) I don't need to. Now do I need to get better still? Yes. But have I made progress? Absolutely. The main issue is no edging/masturbation for me. Because it's not just porn or sexual images, it's the imagination that still gets me. And stress will make you do things you don't want to sometimes. So I think there's too much focus here on the number of the streaks and not enough on just overall progress. Maybe that answer is unsatisfying. But it is up to you. Just try again and again after each slip. And stay positive.

 

It's a very personal question. What are your goals? Did you commit to give up masturbation/edging or porn as well? It sounded that you intentionally seeked that content, "music videos with nudity and sex". It's a tough one, JS5 raised a very good point, it isn't all about the big number. Resetting the counter would not be starting all over, you've come so far, this progress is yours to keep and to benefit from. What you will do from now on is up to you, and you have so many opportunities to reroute your life, choose the healthy path man.

Peace,
EE.

 

I wouldn't say you need to reset totally in recovery. Although it might have set you back a bit, and now you need a little more time to recover. It all depends on: how long streak you have had, how much you look, if you touch yourself while looking and what kind of stuff you look at (for example, vanilla stuff wont be as bad as hard core porn).

 

You didn't touch yourself so i don't think you have too. At the end of the day your going to have to get used to some unavoidable triggers in life, like music videos and as long as you stopped yourself I'd say you were fine.

 

Edging = masturbation without orgasm so you didn't edge and you don't need to reset.
