Watched nudes for 5 min - do i need to reset?

I would, nudes are nudes. Reset, learn, restart and learn

 

Absolutely.

 

Yup, you're asking because you know you messed up haha. Get back on the warpath!

 

Yes, of course.

 

Causal porn watching, just to "test" yourself, leads to fantasizing, which leads to edging, which leads to M and then finally O. Take refuge in clean images!

 

Ja

 

No... You will encounter nudity in everyday life. You can't avoid it. It's nothing wrong with it. You didn't act on it, so no need to reset the counter. Resetting counter means punishing yourself mentally. As long as you don't edge or PMO on it, you show restrain. Alcoholic encounters bottles with alcohol everywhere he or she goes (at least in my country). He needs to learn how to consciously control his drinking urges around bottles, not to look away or punish himself for entering a bar. Running away from bottles will lead him nowhere. The same is true for any addiction. You need to strengthen your conscious mind (prefrontal cortex) to take control over your lizard brains. No porn filter or running away from explicit material will do it. When you can see porn and say to yourself: "meh, not interested," then you know you have recovered. Everything else is just abstention which can not be sustained forever if you're still driven by subconsciousness.
