Summary
Would it be mortally sinful to look at suggestive images online ? Since pornography is a mortal sin what about suggestive images ?
Now, I don’t do it intentionally most of the times. But with social media it’s difficult to avoid, would gazing at one wilfully without entertaining impure thoughts a venial sin/mortal or just occasion of sin?
I’m personally more prone to this type of sin if that changes the gravity.

Is it a bad idea to play chicken with a train even if you don’t get hit?

It depends upon what is suggested. Pornography is deliberate exhibition of real or simulated sexual acts to third parties for base phantasy pleasure or illicit profit.

I know what you mean, often showing women in bikinis or similarly cocktail dresses or underwear in advertisements. It is best not to dwell on any such image if it is tempting, but to move on.
 
I’m asking of the gravity of such, I understand it’s not okay.

Are you deliberately seeking out suggestive images or do you just happen to run across them? You can’t control what other people post on social media, but it’s different if you’re deliberately searching for women in bikinis or lingerie or whatever.
 
I’m not deliberately seeking them but when they do show up sometimes I’ll willfully look at it for a second.
