    In short, I have edged twice and got triggered by a facebook pic. I also am reacting to my reboot by getting increasingly sexually compulsive.

    ~Any Thoughts/Advice?

    ------------------------------------------
    Hello Everyone,

    So I have been rebooting for around a month and have been pretty good about it. I haven't looked at any pornographic videos since the start of my reboot and feel pretty strong about avoiding it (thats an improvement for me so I am happy about it.) I haven't had sex with anyone since the start of my reboot. Nevertheless, I have made a few mistakes. The first was a few days ago when I was surfing facebook and got triggered by a photo of this hot guy on facebook. He was the model for this article discussing tourism in a foreign country and I ended up checking out some artistic (tastefully) nude pictures of the model. I think that in doing this, I inadvertently watched what might be considered pornographic images in that he was naked and they were meant to be erotic (they were not blatantly sexual and I didn't fap to them but I still feel like I relapsed in some way.) I don't know if others would consider that a relapse but since I am trying to hold myself to a high standard, I'm going to go ahead and consider it a relapse. I don't know how I am going to avoid getting triggered in the future so if any of you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Another mistake has been some recent isolated incidents where I have edged. Though I didn't use porn or pictures to do it (just my imagination and this super hot acquaintance I like to think about,) I feel edging is definitely a relapse since I have sworn off of the process of masturbation (hard mode, no PMO.) Because of my mistakes, I feel I have to start my reboot all over again.

    I don't know if this has happened to others but I have felt this promiscuous drive grow in me. I have felt really compelled to have these brief sexual encounters with people, to the point where I have to consciously remind myself its not a good idea before I can get over it. It is compulsive in that it comes on very suddenly and constitutes a very brief and powerful urge that gets me by surprise. Its not so much to get myself off but I really feel compelled to get them off, especially by giving them oral sex. I don't really believe in NSA encounters and its not like me at all so I have been kind of surprised by this reaction. Has it happened to others?

    End of rant. Thanks for listening and commenting.
