Nudist camp experience after 50 days of no PM. Did I relapse?

    After cca 50 days of NO PM streak i went with my family to a nudist camp for holidays. I knew it would be hard for me and it really turned out to be too much. But I learned a lot from it.
    SPOILER ALERT
    I will describe my struggle here and some of you might find it too erotic in nature so maybe it is better for you to pass this reading.
    We unpacked and made the tent. It was hot. Everybody nude around us, but i was doing fine, as we go there every year. It is a mostly family nudist camp, so no big deal. Unfortunately there were 2 young girls in a tent next to us. And that thing alone messed with my thought process. One rainy day a guy they met few days before dropped by. He came naked with some beer cans. He disappeared in the tent. My mind was playing tricks with me, but it could be that they were just talking or playing cards? After cca 3 hours they all came out looking rather exhausting. They went to take a shower.
    I was not a peeping Tom, but it was really hard to ignore it.

    So after some episodes like this I decide to run 5 km every day to burn that energy and think more clearly. Running actually made me even more horny. At one point I decided to run naked. After all we were in the nudist camp, so why not? Long story short. I started thinking about sex and porn for few hours every day.
    I haven't watched P! Actually I was looking at naked women, as they were pretty much everywhere. But I didn't stare at them. Just fast glance.
    I havent M either.
    And I haven't O, not even with my wife.

    But those thoughts took hours of time. So I reset my counter because of that. Maybe I am too harsh to myself? What do you think?

    I would think a nudist camp would be very arousing, but it wasn’t porn.

    As for the thoughts of porn you had for a few hours a day - did you fight the thoughts or entertain them? That would be the difference between whether or not your behavior was problematic.

    Outside of however I may personally feel about the concepts of nudist camps, it’s probably not a good idea for recovering addicts. An addict is likely to objectify all the people there as opposed to theoretically ignoring the nudity and just appreciating beauty, but YMMV.

    I've thought about going to nudist/naturist beach but decided not to as it would be, for me, too arousing and tempting. Could leave persistent memories that might lead to urges to PMO.

    Best not to do when rebooting. But I love the idea of having no tan lines. That's one of the appeals of naturism. Seeing naked men women, but managing to talk to them and not look at their bits. When I got home, had terrible urges and relapsed BIG TIME.

    Far from ideal when rebooting. I think I'd only ever consider going to naturist beach/resort if I have fully recovered from a PMO addiction, and have a partner with me to go to. I won't go again as a single guy.
