PMO - Porn, Masturbation, Recovery

You arent wrong, at all. There are a lot of series that I start and never finish based on that fact

Tell me about it! Ugh, I soldiered on watching Brooklyn99’s last four seasons when NBC picked it up. They totally fucked up the whole show.

And I’m derailing the thread. Sorry! :sweat_smile:

I’m curious as to what your non “addict friendly” shows might be. Feel free to mesage me regarding that. I enjoy discussing movies, actors, and music.

I’m heavy into action movies, comedy, sci-fi, thrillers, martial arts, based on true sfories to name a few.

Some shows have episodes that contain sexually explicit material (not porn, but sketchy). I can’t remember in detail which ones, but at least the Finnish series I mentioned, do. They’re all Nordic noir so they tend to be dark. Call the Midwife doesn’t have nudity, but SA is often a topic at least in the early seasons. Sherlock has that one episode where the Woman is butt naked. 70s show is nothing but weed and beer :sweat_smile:

Things like that, you know.

That makes sense. I dont recall the scene in Sherlock, thankfully. And yeah, That 70’s Show is just good humor. I’ve tried to stay away from shows with any explicit scenes but sometimes they can’t be helped

I’d say that’s progress on my end, because I used to gravitate towards those kind of shows or seek them out intentionally.

I hear you. When my addiction started, it was mid 90s and we lived far away from big cities. The only way of getting any sort of explicit material was to record on VHS. We only had 4 national tv channels back then. One hand, they didn’t broadcast porn but on the other hand there were no PG or R ratings yet. Some music videos were soooo sexually explicit, so if course I would tape them along with other videos and just go there when I wanted. I was in my early teens that time. It’s insane how easy access porn is nowadays.

I remember getting lust hits from music videos at an early age as well. Sex and the City, Taxicab Confessions, Real Sex and the Girls Gone Wild infomercials were in heavy rotation for me. The progression for me in the 90’s- early 2000’s was dads magazine stash> his vhs stash> dvds & AOL> limeware/kazaa.

Yeah, you actually had to seek it out and be like Indiana Jones back then, now it’s right at your finger tips and a second away. I tried using those explicit content app blockers that you needed an accountability partner for but I found ways to bypass that. I no longer use those. I’ve since deleted all of my social medias except this and whatsapp because I found that I could basically exploit just about any of them for my gratification.
