    So I'm super new to all of this and I am wondering what exactly is considered kosher during a reboot. My biggest problem which led me to this forum is PIED. I've never necessarily been "obsessed" with pornography but it got to the point where my entire sex life was being compared to what I'd watch regularly. I'd require a certain pace, a certain vibe, etc. But at the same time, I have been watching it for so long that I feel like I know more adult performers than Hollywood performers.

    With that being said, what does my brain need to abstain from during a reboot? All PMO? Just porn? Just porn and masturbating? Is casually looking at clothed modems who aren't engaging in sexual acts still considered cheating? Is masturbating just as much of my problem as porn? I'm just looking for some guidance so I can do this right. Thank you!
     
  2. Generally the rules are no porn and no masturbation. Obviously you can still look at women, but if you find yourself looking up non-pornographic sexy pictures of women as a substitute for porn, then you should be careful because doing that on purpose can slow down recovery.

    That makes sense and I felt like this was probably the answer. Thank you for clarifying!
