    I'm two weeks in and I'm starting to question something.I've been watching a show called Shameless on Netflix and it does contain nudity and FAKE sex scenes.I've been watching this show since last month and it's one of my favorite shows now and I don't plan on not watching it while rebooting.I don't even get aroused when I see the nudity or fake sex scenes because it's nothing compared to what I like when I watch real deal porn so idk if it even counts against me rebooting?What do you guys think?

    I think it won't help, but equally it won't do much damage. If the fake sex scenes are not hardcore and just normal, conventional sex I don't think it would really hold you back. It may hold you back a little but abstaining from PMO is the big part, just don't go out of your way to watch these scenes. The brain has a funny way of making us think we are doing something for an innocent reason when it's trying to force a relapse for that dopamine hit. If you start skimming through the programme to find these scenes, or watching a particular episode multiple times, reconsider whether you should be watching it as it may lead you to PMO.

    Best of luck, and enjoy your programme :D.

    I remember being triggered by that show a few years ago when I was trying to not look at P
    Couldn't watch it

    That show is not helpful when trying to reboot. I would put some of the scenes on the level of softcore P. I would stay clear of it for the duration of your reboot, plus it's not like it won't be there for you to watch when you're done.
