    I used to watch it on "vidangel" which is a filter program that takes out whatever you want - language, nudity, etc. It was awesome. Have your cake and eat it too.

  3. Ask yourself this:
    Would it have been considered porn, before the great internet porn epidemic? Like 50 years ago?
    If the answer is yes, you should not be watching it.

    I think it depends on what you did while it was on before. I used to masterbated to a few scenes in there and a few characters but I think they toned it down sexually over the last couple seasons. Besides some if the ones I liked are either dead now or became no longer my interests anymore

  5. NO. Not unless you want to continue using your addiction, while you are quitting it. It won't work. But, on the other side of the addiction, go back and binge watch.

    Of course it's not porn. But yet it is. Fast forward thru the sex?

    Instead of watching it... read the books from the beginning. The novels are far better than the show, and you won't be able to put them down. They'll distract you during your reboot instead of tempting you.

    A lot of honest opinions that I really appreciate .... The poll has shown 6 Yes , 4 cant say ( i am on cant say) and 4 No ....so I guess I should abstain from it as I am only on my 15th day..... So I have decided to watch GOT after 90 days of No PMO ....I hope I reach there because day by day its getting difficult...In these 15 days ....I came close to PMO 2 times....and I think this forum has been a great help both the times...or I would have relapsed....Again thanks for your replies......I appreciate it....When I look back I have tried No PMO many a times in my life from age of 18 till today but failed everytime...but now when I have joined Nofap....its good to know that there are people to help you and I might make it this time......

    What twisted logic are you trying to use here? o_O
    You are just trying to bypass your conscious telling you that it is by doing a poll and saying: But the people on the NoFap forums said it was no porn so it's okay right?

    It's like asking a blind person to guide you.
    I'm sorry to bust your bubble to you guys who said no but you can't really have a saying in this...you are all addicts here, including me.

    I wanted to watch it, season 4, that is.
    I didn't want to watch it, I wanted to watch some nude scenes. Once I watched one scene, I was gone.
    Relapse.

    To me that is porn, in disguise, or maybe even soft porn.Suit yourself!

    A good definition for porn: "writings, pictures, films, etc., designed to stimulate sexual excitement" - Collins dictionary

    If you get turned on watching raunchy scenes, then for you, it's porn. If not, then it's not (for you).

  14. I would say that the content goes beyond raunchy scenes. There is full frontal nudity and explicit sex scenes. It is "designed to stimulate sexual excitement". So it is porn. Just as not all porn may arouse all people who have particular "tastes", this content may not trigger all watchers to relapse then or soon afterwards. Nevertheless, it is still porn by definition IMHO.

    Game of thrones isn't porn its a fantasy serie with lot of nudity. People like it because of the fantasy and medieval era theme.

    The question you should ask you'rself how far am i at my reboot? If images of hot girls on commercials or youtube video's still trigger you to watch porn then i advise you not to watch it.Its bassicly up to you to decide how strong you have trained you're brain. If you don't get triggered so much as in the past (when you started NoFap) then go watch it.


    I can't give you a answer when you are able to watch it. it something you should decide for yourself. But I would only watch game of thrones if you are 4 months withouth porn. And you aren't as much triggered to other series series or video's that have slight nudity

    See it as a alcholic who should avoid any parties at bars or pubs.. But if he is clean for a long time he should be able to visit a party some of his friend gave at a bar or go out with his friends watching a sport game where you can get bear.

    i struggle with the same problem i like lord of the rings and i've heard from people that game of thrones is a bit like that medieval fantasy stories i like that however i heard there was a lord of nudity in it.

    Yes I think you are right. I am feeling that I was making excuses so that I could watch Porn again....... So I have decided to not watch it atleast for 90 days.

  19. GoT is more than a TV series with lot of nudity. It is full-frontal nudity and graphic sex scenes promoting objectification. :oops:

    That is one definition and not a bad one. Is the intent, 'designed to', on the part of the creator or the user? So is it porn only if created to cause sexual excitement, regardless of my intent when using it? Or is it porn only if the user seeks sexual excitement from it regardless of the creators intent? Practically speaking are nude paintings porn? Is, or I guess was, Playboy?

    I like this definition for pornography:

    Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties.

    This means any sexual acts even if under the sheets or blurred somewhat are pornography. I'd say nudity alone isn't porn, but whether it is porn isn't the key question for me. The key question is what does exposure to that nudity do? Does it help us or hurt us. It's because it hurts me that I don't click on the many articles in online news websites showing a hot celebrity at the beach. Or if I was sixteen again I wouldn't look at the pantyhose ads in the newspaper.
