I will give a very short example. Again this is not true story, it’s an made up example so don’t say “this belongs to confession, not in public forum”.

let’s say a person is giving in a sin of flesh by attempting to look at porn.
there he is playing the video for first few seconds before there is any nudity, then he quickly close the video before he sees anything, the both actor and actress are still modestly dressed.

has he commit any mortal sin here already?

another question is, (this one is the real thing happened to me)
erm, it has been asked many times before but i’ll just ask a very very specific one.
is looking at a girl’s photo, which reveal a very area of her cleavage, and u are actually looking at that part for few seconds, without thinking “wow, i wish i could touch it” or “wow, i wonder what her chest look without the clothes and let me imagine it” (somewhat possible, believe it. not every guy look at chest part or attractive girl and instantly got aroused or wish could have do something to her) already a grave sin?

If this person freely chose to look at this material knowing that it’s wrong, they have sinned, even if they turn it off before there’s any nudity.

if you don’t look at such photographs on purpose, but accidently, and if you don’t consent to any impure thoughts as a result, that’s not a sin.

hope that helps…

but I’d ask a priest to make sure 🙂
