Hare Krishna Dandvat pranaam
May I know if watching porn and masterbating comes under four Regulative Principles and it is compulsary to follow this also to do bhakti.
Hare Krishna, please forgive me,if I ask anything wrong

I think we should never be alone.
In this modern world, if we are alone, media will haunt our minds
cinema , TV, phone, laptop, magazines, newspapers all these provoke lust.
The problem is, all these media show
1.provoking pictures of lusty, characterless women, posing in skimpy clothes.
2. sex between a man and woman.
Once a man watches the above, no one can save him from falling down.
He will immediately masturbate, while fantasizing those prostitutes.
In the past, ment were hunting prostitutes.
But now prostitutes (pictures) are constantly hunting men's minds.
Open laptop, open tv, immediately prostitutes are just one click away..
They are pictures only. But very very dangerous to men.
They simply occupy men's minds, throw them into imaginary world of sex.
Porn is very dangerous. watching sex bw a man and woman, is very dangerous.
This is the root cause of falldown of good men. ( eg. Ajamila in Bhagavatham ).
One more thing is the company of evil men.
Ofcourse, in the modern world, 90% are evilminded and selfish.
It is very difficult to find good men.
The problem is if we are alone, media will hunt us.
If we want to find good friends, that is also mostly not possible.
Conclusion,
Some how, we should avoid 1. media
2. loneliness
By the Krishna Grace at the some level I control,but due to watching porn for long time it put wrong impression now and now in a month once I open to see such things, but not I am able to control on masturbation but now in a month I got nightfall ,so may I know as I am sadhana stage and my past habits provoke me to do this nonsense so it will come under nama aporadh
