As you have implied, there is debate over just what blasphemy against the holy spirit is.

That said fornicating is not it.

1cor 10: 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

is possible the verse you are thinking about.
Please start reading the bible and learning it, vague superstitious ideas about Christianity won't help you.

When you attend church, take notes on the sermon, ask questions of the preacher about everything you don't understand.
Follow Christian blogs, reasonablefaith, wintery knight, tough questions answered, even answersingenesis and you will learn and grow.

Last point. Basic Christianity, sex is for between husband and wife only. Stop having sex.

So just to clarify you had a thought that was as if The Holy Spirit was reminding you that reading The Bible will help you overcome that sin but you still did it? That is more like being stiff necked when The Holy Spirit is trying to guide you, but that is not blaspheming against The Holy Spirit, rather it is just being stubborn, and now I will provide scripture to back this up:

Mark 3:22-30
"22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”

So to break this down Jesus was pointing out that the Pharisees were accrediting Jesus's healing to power not from God, so they were not just sinning against Him but against The Spirit within Him that was casting out the demon. You did not commit a sin against the Holy Spirit because you did not willingly sin directly against The Holy Spirit, you did a lustful act and The Bible already talks about that as being sin against your own body

1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."

So you have it there, not only does the Bible show what blasphemy against The Holy Spirit is, but it also shows what the sin you committed was, and that was against your own body.

I recommend praying for forgiveness, maybe putting a filter app on your phone to block sites that might be a stumbling block, and accepting Jesus's forgiveness. Just be honest with Him He wants you to return to Him

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 15:7

Firstly you need to understand the cross, it covers all of our sins from the day we were born to the day we die.

Heb 9:27-28 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.

James also lets us know that if we wander away from the truth, we can be turned back.

Jas 5:19-20 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

The reason for this is that God remains faithful to us when we sin. He is just, he will not deny forgiveness to us if we seek it.

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1. Salvation cannot be lost, as Jesus' sacrifice was perfect, and He also said that He would not lose one of His sheep, His Father given Him.

2. When Jesus said '"All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men" He was talking to the Pharisees who witnessed miracles only Messiah could do, still called Jesus a demon. I think there are many places in the Gospel where it shows that many Jewish leaders and teacher knew Jesus was Messiah but they were jealous of Him and hated Him, because He shone light unto their sins and darkness showing everyone that they are not men of God but hypocrites and followers of satan.

If you are born again Christian who committed sin, repent, or at least ask God to discipline you and bring you to repentance. You haven't lost your salvation as many today falsely teach.

"Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit has to do with accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. This particular type of blasphemy cannot be duplicated today. The Pharisees were in a unique moment in history: they had the Law and the Prophets, they had the Holy Spirit stirring their hearts, they had the Son of God Himself standing right in front of them, and they saw with their own eyes the miracles He did. Never before in the history of the world (and never since) had so much divine light been granted to men; if anyone should have recognized Jesus for who He was, it was the Pharisees. Yet they chose defiance. They purposely attributed the work of the Spirit to the devil, even though they knew the truth and had the proof. Jesus declared their willful blindness to be unpardonable. Their blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was their final rejection of God’s grace. They had set their course, and God was going to let them sail into perdition unhindered."

Ignoring the Holy Spirit is not blasphemy, but claiming that the HS is Satan is.
Still, your hostility must be pervasive. Everyone is allowed to repent.

If you seek salvation from adultery past and ongoing sin, and go far and receive all God's graces, and ways to save you, taste it all, Hebrews 6:6 and go back to adultery, then there is no further grace for repentance.

If you seek salvation from adultery past and ongoing sin, and go far and receive all God's graces, and ways to save you, taste it all, Hebrews 6:6 and go back to adultery, then there is no further grace for repentance.
Here is the whole paragraph in context:

"Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings,1 the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and shave shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7 For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

The context is that we carry on from being baby Christians to being mature ones, continuing to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God. The alternative is for someone to have a smattering of Christianity and then falling away from Christ when problems and persecution come along. It speaks more of a general rejection of Christ than falling off the holiness wagon. We are all sinners need our Saviour, and are susceptible to temptation, but the promise is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Performance Christianity is basically a Gospel of works. Grace based Christianity is dependent on our faith in Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit within us to develop us into the persons God wants us to be.

I think that grace needs a response, a softening rather than hardening of the heart. If someone hardens their hearts to all God's grace, what is there left to soften that one to repentance? In Hebrews 6:6 Paul writes of the sin of rejoining the group that held it was right to crucify Master Jesus. I heard a report of one married woman who committed the eternal sin, but without joining the Pharisees.

The more important issue is - was the act with your partner or was it a betrayal of your partner. If the latter then I'm disappointed that your concern is for yourself and blasphemy, and not for the person you betrayed.

If it's the former - heck - you worry too much.

If you had you wouldn't be worried about it. Your conscience would be seared
