    It's exactly the same as porn because it is porn.

    You don't have to masturbate to porn to relapse. Just seeing porn/psubs is bad for you. If you see a sex scene in a movie, do you really think your brain tells the difference between that and pornhub? Porn is porn. If you knowingly watch a sex scene in a movie then that's a relapse imo. It doesn't matter if you masturbate to it or not the material has already been entrenched in your mind and the damage has already been done.
     
  4. It doesn't count as a reset. You didn't go looking for it and you didn't jerk so there's no problem. I do agree that sex scenes are essentially porn and you should avoid them just the same.

    Let say you are watching a horror movie DVD with you’re friends because you like horror films. And then suddenly there is nude girl. That isn’t a relapse. Why? Because you didn’t search for nude girls.

    However lets say the next day you are horny and alone and decide to put in the DVD of the horror movie just to see the nude girl again.


    A little story of me :
    Yesterday i looked up a website about soccer to see what results and news thee was at that website there was a pictur of a woman in bikini. I didn't go to the website for the girl she was just there a ad(commercial)

    However Today i looked up this website for the purpose to see the hot girl to get a dopamine kick.


    It’s the acting on urges. Its normal when you see a hot woman you are turned on but you should never masturbate or search it again to get a dopamine kick.

    Seeing a nude by accident isn't a relapse searching it then yes

    Dear if you have already started this journey, it means you have admitted resetting the dopamine. You are watching movies only when you get bored, and sometimes boredom is due to our nofap challenge. So you need to stop watching movies even because it also releases some brain neuro transmitters i.e Dopamin, serotonian etc.
