Hi I'm NEW. Well actually  I have had a clean month using the chart. I wonder if watching a movie or the sort - by that i mean mainstream not official shmutz - which may have scenes which are not clean considered a fall?

Welcome brother. 
A month is great!

No one responded yet? Does the weather slow down this site?

I would consider intentional unclean scenes a fall. P'haps subconsciously  that why we watch those movies in the first place...

What do you think

welcome 
did you feel like you fell?

Yes It did feel like a fall, because I refrained  from watching it a few times. However when compared to the real shmutz I have and am working on now. I wonder if it's benifical to consider this a fall. 
perhaps I should make a second count for such things.

I do realise the risk in making this (or it eventually becoming) a "dvar heter"...

Any advice or chizuk greatly appreciated!

the main thing is to learn from it 
and than don't think about it just the lesson you learnt /learning

I've thought about this a lot myself. I believe that what the others are saying, about whether or not you feel like you fell, is a good indicator. However I wouldn't consider that a fall. I would consider it a fall if i would watch something in that same ballpark, after I know that watching things like that have made me feel bad in the past. Because then it's already more intentional. The first time may have been uncalculated, but you can take a lesson from that. In my opinion, not learning from the experience should be more considered a fall.

fall or not, does the encounter linger in your mind afterwards, distort your interactions with others and eventually lead you to more compulsion somewhere down the line?
