In the past I have look at provocative photo of my GF and masturbated to them and or just masturbated to the thought of her. Since I have started my PM journey. I wanted to here some opinions if the is still considered a relapse. I still planning on be intimate with my GF. I am not looking for a loophole. I still plan on not looking at them and or masturbate. Just want to hear some thoughts on the matter.
I would advise against any type of artificial stimulation. Let the pixels be pixels, and don't accustom your brain to them; leave old ties behind, let sleeping dogs lie. I'm not saying to touch your counter. But, personally, I'd be over-cautious in any kind of stimulus that enabled me to trip over myself in the past.
I agree with @ItsInTheBag . At the end of the day, your brain only recognized the chemicals & it's carving out deeper memories to anything that gives the brain those chemicals. It's probably best to shy away from anything pixels, and focus only on authentic relationship intimacy. Good luck my man
