When PG is not so Innocent

Hi all,
I have been addicted now,off and on,to PMO for 9 years.I was watching videos on YouTube of a 1970's TV series today.I much enjoyed this show as a child.Yet it now poses a risk of being a trigger for me.
Even ten years ago it would not have had such an effect on me.Yet my years of PMO have coarsened me.It has distorted my mind so much that the sight of women scantily clad arouses an urge to masturbate.Not all women shown have this effect on me but many do.
In the past I have watched films and TV series and been attracted to certain women.
After seeing their names on the credits I Googled them.This has led to serious consequences in the past.I would seek out images online of them to act as masturbatory fodder.I have frequently relapsed consequently.
I thought that television or films from an earlier era would pose less risk.I was wrong! Today I entered women's names,from the old TV series,into the search engine.I did not view any images however. I realised I was edging and immediately stopped.I have NoFap to thank for this.I thought wrongly that I was reseaching these women for innocent purposes.But the re-education I have received from this website convinced me otherwise.For that I am grateful.
I have not reset my no PMO counter.I believe I have not relapsed this time.I stopped when I realised I had responded to old triggers.However I will not be so naive in future.I will not watch this programme again.In fact I will watch less TV from now on and spend less time online.
I need to find more productive uses for my spare time.Perhaps I will put a post in the Self Improvement section.Take care everyone.I hope in all humility that this post is beneficial for others.

 

I can avoid hardcore or even soft porn easily enough.At least when I'm starting to reboot.But after I relapse I do seek out explicit material.What trips me up or more accurately triggers a relapse is a picture or scene of a woman I get aroused to.
I then start edging and fall into old bad habits.
Your advice to concentrate on auditory rather than visual entertainment makes sense.
Thank you.

 

I can relate to the horror movie problem.I used to be a huge fan of Hammer Horror movies.But I can't watch them anymore.Thank you for suggesting nature programmes.I will certainly give them a try.
