Thoughts on avoiding triggers

Nope. Don't do this route. Unless you have a will of iron, it leads most people to relapse. It starts off with pictures. Alright, you think, the pictures aren't so bad. I can check out some videos. Then, once the videos start and you realize you can't fap it makes you want to more. You start rationalizing - I'll just edge for a minute, not finish. That turns to you deciding to get close but not finish, to you finishing since you think you can just start over later.

Trust me, this is coming from a guy who's longest streak is only 4 days because I tried this method. It doesn't work, just makes things worse and makes you feel like crap. There's no way you can fully avoid triggers, but actively seeking them out is like a sex addict seeking out a friend to lounge around naked with just because they're going to see someone naked. It'll lead to something, and that's something you don't want.

This is very likely true. Well yes, I already decided I won't do it (now at least), not so much because of the risks, more because I doubt it would actually help if I succeeded.
