Does watching pictures of models of naked women cause a replapse?

    I was wondering if by chance I come across pictures of hot models on Instagram or seeing semi nude pictures of women by chance cause a relapse?

    I agree with you . This is what I do. Whenever some semi naked photo of women appear, I will look away

    There are 2 reasons. First is like what Roady said, is a substitute of porn. Second reason is being you still judge women based on her body, you treat them as object. Which is not good

    The pictures themselves don't cause a relapse, but the effect on your addicted brain and your 'decision' to go back to porn (worst case) does. In my experience the effect of (semi-)nude pictures wanes over time, even though they always remain a risk, best avoided as much as possible.

    But... like it or not, our modern Western society thrives on sex, so it's inevitable we'll be confronted with (semi-)naked women on billboards, magazines, films, etc.. So we need to find coping mechanisms to deal with them. Just like alcoholics are often confronted with alcohol and need to deal with that as well.

    I see them as interesting challenges :) Just keep calm and move on.
     
  4. Seeing them by chance itself is not a relapse but it can be a trigger that can lead to relapse. Try your best to avoid situations that make you have to fight harder.

    If its not a real person in front of you it's porn, if you get hard to it, and you chose to look at it for longer than a second, you are relapsing.

    By semi-nudes you mean in bikini and stuff like that?
    Nah, I wouldn't consider it as a relapse but try not to fantasize about them too much (Don't fantasize at all)

    It depends on how it affects you, this is one of the things my girlfriend asked me to eliminate. I have done so for the most part, but you can't help what advertising is posting nowadays. My only recommendation is to not linger make the moment fleeting rather than a focus.
