How bad is it for the reboot if you saw some sexual explict pics

It definitely gives you a dopamine hit which is what you are abstaining from.
If it was me and I saw them intentionally , I would reset my counter.

 

Most of the time fantasies are not intentional so as soon as they pop in your head , just distract yourself and do something else.
Fantasies are not a reset unless you masturbate to them but take care as they may slow down your reboot if you didn't get rid of them as soon as they pop up.

 

You could try to develop techniques to respond to fantasies and all sorts of triggers properly. We're not so powerless when it comes to controlling our thoughts and feelings. It's not like we do a spell and they go away, it's more like influencing them more indirectly. For example, when a fantasy pops up, you decide to focus on a body part like say, your two hands. Feel the life in them the whole time that the fantasy's doing its job. Then think some thoughts about how in a few seconds you will be redirecting your focus from the fantasies to your hands. At first, there won't be much hope that it will work because fantasies and masturbation have taken a permanent residence within your personality, unlike the unusual, asexual response to the fantasy you're about to implement. But thoughts grow with our focus. Focusing on something small, even if you "don't feel like it" will soon turn it into a reality and weaken the hold the other unwelcome thought over you. William James says something about "it is our ability to choose one thought over another that determines our happiness". I'm not sure what exactly he says but his quotes are inspirational.

 

I've been trying to focus on this. My biggest problem with PMO has been due to my impulsive nature and ADHD. I used to get discouraged trying to distract myself because the thoughts typically pop in before I'm even aware of them. But being perseverant has helped me a lot and I don't fantasize nearly as much as I used to.

 

It has been said, very wisely, that the temptations that pop into your head are like birds that fly overhead. There's no way you can prevent that. You can and should prevent them from nesting and raising their young in your hair.

 

Dude i failed cause of images like that, NoFap no edge but it led to blue balls which made me relapse, if i was you id completely abstain from these triggers because it will eventually make you fail, seriously...
