Hi all,
So I have been PM free for around a month, only one O around 2 weeks in of reboot but was with my partner. Currently I do not really have the desire to MO without a partner anyway.
Even though we are all making effort to avoid pornographic material I wanted to touch upon sexual and titillating material in movies/ tv shows/ newspapers etc. Since of course we live in a world where we are very often bombarded with sexual imagery even if it is not pornographic, I think I remember Gabe saying there isn't much we can do about avoiding this.
But as an avid fan of hip-hop/RnB music and anime/manga I just wanted some advice, since these 2 often are loaded with sexual imagery even if not pornographic. For example, I was listening to a brand new tape from an artist I like, and the cover of this tape was something that would have easily encouraged me to PMO a month ago.
I was also in the gym today, and right in front of me on the crosstrainer was a hyper sexualized music video playing, a music video which has caused me to PMO in the past. Even though I was curious to see whether they would censor the video during daytime, I just didn't bother to pay it much mind.
As for anime/manga, I do not have desire to consume pornographic material of this sort, however even non-pornographic anime/manga often has hyper-sexualized women and perverted scenes. Of course I am avoiding the ones which have a lot of this, but it is hard to escape it completely. I would like to ask, would i be able to return to a normal use of the even more risque material after a successful reboot? There are series I am avoiding during reboot, but would like to return someday, minus the MO. I will always be with my partner by this point anyway.
Thank you
