So after a couple of weeks of abstinence i've been putting a lot of effort and motivation in my journey and i have come to realize that i have been doing this thing a few times which i am concerned about. I do use facebook for chatting with my friends or look at fun stuff, but i have been looking at a profile of a girl that i might get to know of, cause she was interested in working in the same place that i am. Basically that's it, i didn't masturbate to them since there aren't any hot pics of her and didn't feel aroused looking at her normal clothed pics. Thanks in advance.
I find myself in similar circumstances as you sir. I'm opting with a "better safe than sorry approach." If you're worried it may be an issue, probably wise to not do it all together.
It's just my realization though and it might turn out to be ok if I weren't supposed to sexually objectify her. I only thought she was pretty. I know this might sound like an excuse but it's the same thing as liking someone walking across the street and thinking that she looks pretty. So hopefully it isn't such of an issue I guess. If it were to be an issue I can still stop.
Honestly man i do the same thing. Everyones goal on here is different so if i was to look at a couple girls on social media i dont think its too bad. Im just glad that im getting very turned on to pictures and not the shitty porn i used to watch. Some might see that and have a lot of temptaion and end up PMOing. But as for me it will never make me relapse but i dont beat myself up for looking at it
