Does no porn mean no pictures of naked girls either?

Will looking at naked pictures of girls online or anything count as porn or no? What if I were to look at it without masturbating? I see loads of these posts on Reddit and curiosity really wants me to click on them


Edit: Just realized I already made this post about a month ago

Pornography is defined as "printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." Do with that as you will. I think viewing it consistently makes you less likely to experience any visual stimulation from sexual content. Which may effect your units ability to perform when the time comes. I think it's impossible to fully avoid, but you can stop yourself from intentionally viewing it.

I think if you masturbate alot watching porn, it doesnt help with your erection or ejaculation....But i dont think it affects gains if you watch or masturbate...on the contrary you are exercising the penis.....it is in the mind that happens.

I'm not an advocate of habitually watching PORN, but it's perfectly normal for a guy to get a boner when looking at pics or videos or even seeing delicious females dancing in strip clubs. It's medically proven that males are MUCH MORE VISUALLY STIMULATED SEXUALLY THAN FEMALES. That's why the female fashion industry exits!

The "problem" is when you lack sufficient self control and become addicted to watching while stimulating yourself further (masturbating), then rush to orgasm, IMO. That's training your brain to associate watching PORN while masturbating to orgasm in order to release cortisol, adrenaline and serotonin to satisfy the "pleasure zones" of your brain. THAT'S what leads to addiction, over time.

There's a difference between merely looking at something and masturbating to it.

Even then, what fuels some men's masturbatory efforts may not be technically classified as "porn". This doesn't mitigate the level of damage done from negative conditioning.

I see nothing wrong with looking at and appreciating the beauty of the female body. However it's a matter of what is running through you mind while looking at one. If you are thinking "damn that's an amazing looking girl" then I see no problem. If you are visualizing some guy wit a big dick pounding away on her then that is a problem.

Why do you see that as a problem? Isn't it in a way what we aspire to do?

I stopped watching porn because I'm trying to get control of my premature ejaculation and people have said that porn could be the reason. So I edge for 20 min min without porn. It's totally fine if I look at stuff then as long as I don't masturbate? Cool

I think it depends on what sort of conditioning you want to achieve. I know from my own experience, that the less I look at sexually implicit imagery, the more I am turned on by regular everyday stuff, and my EQ responds accordingly. Even just a piece of naked skin a woman's arms or legs that I pass by in public, can get me rolling, and requiring me to cover my crotch in some manner, to hide the obvious erection I get.

But if your main concern is to combat premature ejaculation, you can probably get away with watching a lot of sexual imagery.

Oh yeah, small topless scenes on movies or just the way a girl looked will get me going right now. Back when I was watching porn I wouldnt even get hard if I was looking at pics, only gifs/vids did it for me

Aspire to watching some other guy pound away on a girl? Isn't that porn? Now if he was visualizing himself going at it with her his big dick then that would be different.

Honestly man if you're trying to do the No Porn thing then you really need to work on getting away from any sort of sexual visualization of women wether it be from videos or pics.

When you see girls naked in pictures, you're still seeing someone that is out of your reach and is not attainable at the time, which leads you to more visualization with that person but no connectivity.

Once you abstain from seeing nakedness of someone and see them as someone 'other' then just having a nice rack or nice vagina, then you can start to learn how to appreciate them for the actual beauty that they have as a person.

The whole point of no porn is to get your mind back in the right track so that when you have a real encounter with a woman, you'll feel more attracted to their outer being rather then the inner, and you'll have the self confidence to make things happen with them because you won't see them in 'Porn Mode' and hard to get. All in all, it will make sex much better for you and that person because of the connectivity through that.
