    This is day 5 of my reboot from Porn. The days previous were good I didn’t think about Porn as much. However today as I was looking at news articles on my phone, I came across news of a lesbian scene from a new film called Ammonite. As I saw this I began to persuade myself that by watching this is not relapsing. So I went and searched for the movie, and once I found it I went straight to the lesbian scenes which were very raw and explicit. I then came to the realisation after that I have relapsed once again because in the scenes in film the two woman were engaging in sexual activity. My mind is so confused right now because on the one hand I didn’t watch an actual Porn video from a actual Porn website, but on the other hand I did watch two woman actors engage in a sexual activity in the film.
    Nonetheless I am still disappointed that I still decided to indulge in watching this film after knowing what the film entails.

    I would find it most appreciative if I could get responses to this of whether I relapsed or not...

    A better question to ask yourself is how much damage do you feel like this caused you? How much do you feel like this activated those porn pathways in your brain?

    A good way to determine this is think of all the times you have PMOed. Think of some of your most heaviest edging and binging sessions. Think of some of the times you have felt a lot of pleasure from PMO. Think of all the times you have felt an extreme sexual rush and then kept wanting to search more. Think how long this has lasted.

    What you will probably find is the damage from what you done earlier is tiny. It probably doesn't even matter. That's not to say that you should intentionally seek out porn and artificial sexual stimulation thinking the damage is tiny. But from what you're telling me it sounds like basically nothing in terms of damage from activating those porn pathways in your brain. If you did activate those porn pathways it was tiny and didn't even last long. In reality it is near impossible to not activate those pathways to some extent from time to time. Even certain thoughts could activate them. Feeling horny could activate them. and yes it is natural to feel horny, it is natural for sexual thoughts to pop into your head.

    A lot of people on here seriously need to take a chill pill. It's honestly as if they don't understand what is happening. It's even to the point some people have got into such a serious obsession with all this stuff that they are going way over the top, believing and preaching a lot of nonsense.

    I mean last night for instance someone posted pornographic pictures on this forum, and in one of the pornographic pictures it literally said on the picture in capital letters RELAPSED. That is literally the extent of many guys on this forum. They would literally think just because they caught a glimpse of this picture that they have relapsed. It's nuts.
