    This is about suggestive content (not necessarily porn).

    How significant of a setback is it to "peek" or consume suggestive content during a period of abstinence from p/m/o? Specifically, I'm inquiring about anything from pics of bikini models (on Instagram, for example) to artistic nudes such as those in movies, paintings and photographs.

    I would say if youre looking at it any longer than you would notice a beautiful girl on a beach, stop doing that.

    I'd say that I am. I need to have more discipline and self control.

    Are you AWAKE to what this entity is that wants to look at “suggestive content “?

    Awake in certain aspects, not all. Feel free to enlighten me. Always willing to learn and gain insight.

    Well, how about trying a retrospective activity when a lustful impulse arises and you act out?
    Here’s the method I use:

    1) Ask yourself what that ego/desire wanted.
    2) Did identifying/acting out bring you happiness, development of your soul through self-knowledge, wisdom and compassion? Did it bring you and others suffering?
    3) Did it only bring temporary pleasure that when you reach the end of life will be lost?
    4) Is this desire an illusion?
    5) What should you have done instead of acting out?

    That's quite a lot to think about. The undertaking would probably be enough mentally taxing that I'd forget about any impulse altogether, haha. In all seriousness, though, I think you're onto something. Those are valid questions we should all be asking ourselves.

    What if the “porn monster” is a symptom?

    “Lust is a manifestation of disharmony that seeks harmony.”

    “I first started this addiction to such euphoric emotion to avoid another emotion of a negative kind”

    “The term ‘addiction’ is used precisely to describe a more virulent form of the search for happiness that has become chronic and destructive.”
