Day 2 check-in: micro-compromises that lead to an eventual relapse.

In my own journey on becoming PMO-free, I have found that these micro-compromises are the most dangerous. Very rarely do I have a sudden urge to watch porn. In my case, I will “out of the blue“ suddenly start having a sexual fantasy. At first, it seems rather harmless, but if I let myself go with it, it can lead to strong arousal and then to edging, etc.

Today I caught myself two different times starting to have a fantasy which I then quickly stopped in its tracks. I would be curious if other brothers have a similar experience.

Great catch mate. The brain is very smart and deceiving. I never relapse like You said: straight to pron. Only recently i stopped using meme sites because sometimes they arent memes if u know what I mean. After i get aroused there i start searching for something better sometimes - thats why I completely stopped using this site now. It always starts with little compromises like You said (because You explain to Yourself that it isnt pron). Its awesome that so many people have different lifes but notice the same things on SR.

Great observations both of you. Facebook likes to throw thirstbait at me and I have needed to unsub certain channels and uninstaller certain mobile games as well. What seems innocuous can send you down the wrong path, hence where self knowledge is important.

I can really relate to both of you guys. After fantasy, Instagram and YouTube can trigger me. The tricky addictive mind always starts with that little phrase “it’s not really porn, so it’s OK…“
Like you said, one really needs to stay alert and have self knowledge 😇
