Are nude pics considered porn?

Your post makes it appear that you conciously made the decision to view the pictures. If you were aroused, then that is definitely porn use. Reset the counter
Be sure to advocate for yourself - if you find yourself in a similar situation in the future, tell your friend or whoever that you are on a NoFap journey and nude pictures or anything arousing will only make that journey a bumpy one. Best of luck

 

Dude the P in PMO is the worst part. Just reset your counter, no shame in it.

 

Any of those "Does this count" questions are just rationalizations your mind creates to get what it wants, they should NEVER be acted upon.

Looking at nudes is just feeding the neural pathways in your brain that you want to destroy by starving starving them out. Doesn't matter if its "considered porn" or not, that means nothing to your brain, it doesn't know what porn is, it just knows stimuli.

For me personally fully clothed pics of some celebrities are a thing I need to fight. I've had times where I've just sat and stared at them. Sure its not porn or even nudity but its still feeding the addiction, it's getting what it wants to some extant. That was my minds rationalization, fully clothed pics. Identify yours when they pop up and fight them!

Stay strong man!

 

Uh, whatever you say man.

 

I didn't say its a reset, I think that concept is complete dogshit.

Im just saying you should be fighting back against the rationalizations, all it does it continue to feed the mind what it wants rather force it to change. The meaningless number can say you've made it 100 days or whatever but that doesn't mean shit when you've been feeding those neural pathways rhe whole time.

Focus on what really matters, fixing the damage thats been done to your brain, not a number.

The rationalization is any work around type of thing. So looking at nudes because "its not porn" is rationalization, don't give into those. No, giving into them isn't worse than full on PMO but its still horrible to give into those things and will absolutely slow/stop progress.

This isn't just about just abstaining from PMO, its about healing and repairing your mind which won't happen if you give into rationalizations.

The most simple way to look at shit is to just question the point of it and if it will help you. Whats the point of looking at nudes? Why even do it? Will it help you? No, its feeding the addiction so don't do it.

Same questions apply to everything. In my case, What's the point of looking at pictures of celebrities? Will it help? Nope, still just feeding the neural pathways that im trying to kill so I need fight the urge to do that as well.

My other point was just to get your mind away from counting days and to just focus on what matters, that link goes into it.

 

That's up to you but it's definitely not a good idea.

 

I’d avoid nudes. But to me, it’s your intentions. If you accidentally stumble upon them then exited out of them, it’s not a reset for me, but if you were intentionally looking for nudes, it’s a P-sub at the very least.

 

If they sent it unsolicited and you got rid of it right away no. If you sought it out, fantasized on it, acted on it, reset.
