you might read that title and think "wtf is this guy talking about?"… what i’m trying to say by this, is, that - at least for me - it was rather easy to quit watching "traditional porn". tbh, I deleted all my accounts I had specifically created for masturbating to pornographic material, such as twitter, telegram, reddit and several accounts on porn-websites and just have never accessed them again since then. the REAL problem today is that EVERY. SINGLE. SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM. is being sexualized. sex has always been popular, polarizing and just bc of the nature of human beings always been something that can, online or offline, go viral the best. if it’s one of the more popular examples, such as instagram, tiktok, twitter or reddit, but also relatively unfitting seeming platforms that at first sight don’t match the purpose of posting pornographic material, such as pinterest or YouTube are becoming more and more porn. soft porn, bikini try on hauls, dancing girls, just to name some of them, is what really is kind of inevitably shown to us every single day. I have tried consistently to reset my algorithms, unfollow all the onlyfans and porn girls I used to follow but at some point, you’ll run across them again. What has the world become every single social media platform is normalizing gooning? It is insane to me but I know my ways now to not give in. This is a fight for forever - unfortunately we can’t run away. We gotta face it!

I completely agree with you. I've cut out all my social media at the moment. I hope to get rid of this addiction soon.

I would say my number 1 cause for relapsing is social media. Whenever I quit porn, and try to abstain from every day masturbation, I unfollow every triggering account on twitter and Instagram. Along with curating my algorithm to no longer show provocative posts. It works for a little while but these post always seem to come across my feed eventually. After a few days I decide, hey it’s not actual porn and there’s no nudity so it shouldn’t count at a relapse. This always leads to me going back to porn and it hurts a little more this way for some reason. I can try and blame society all I want but it’s my decision to go back to my old ways. I hope this app can help me resist the temptations. Maybe taking a break from social media for a few weeks can help get me over the hump
