Hello I have walked a very complicated and painful path, as we are easy prey for relapses. I have a problem with tiktok videos, even the lightest ones have an effect on excitement. It doesn't take porn content for me to feel the need to watch some more and some more, until without realizing it I'm watching porn again. Does anyone else feel the same as me?
I can not. It's the social network my teenage daughters use. I need to be in the know, like any parent.
Hi, any kind of social media is dangerous, these social media organisations have experts who are making big money to keep us hooked and addicted returning time and time again, it is how they make their money, they aren't really interested in people who only visit once a month for 3 mins they want the people who are compulsive and spending their lives on these platforms and anything to do with sex even the smallest thing is a big pull, this is the trap we fall into and then once they have us in the trap, well we know what happens we are addicted and find it hard to get out. The best thing you can do to help yourself is to get rid of all social media, it is toxic, it is destructive and leads nowhere good. Try to not use it for a few days and see how addicted you are to it. If you keep thinking about it, desiring it, reaching for your phone without thinking then you are addicted and have a problem. It needs to go. When you think about it logically most of the content on social media is just pure rubbish, stupid pictures, stupid little vids, stupid comments. Whatever the content whether it is watching a kitten play or a woman in a provocative pose with hardly any clothes on it is pointless totally pointless
Whatever they want to hide, they will hide, we all have being young. Building rapport > Stalking your kids.
You are right, but I do not intend to leave social networks. Even I work in web design and I can't help but frequent facebook, instagram or tiktok. But it's true. Tiktok looks like an idea created by the devil.
You are right. This is all on purpose to make us feel bad. Tiktok has to be at the service of evil forces.
I kept that app for about 1 hour before I deleted it. It seems if you are even watching something legitimate it will come around to something that was hurting my recovery. Anything that is a stumbling block needs to go.
Everything that has a "feed" is extremly bad for your wellbeing I find. That endless scrolling through some random shit, most of which is not even clever or funny but just dumb, is like disrespecting your own brain on a daily basis. TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Reddit,....they all certainly can provide something but at large, I find that they create so many more issues that they can solve. You said you were using TikTok primarily to know what your children are engaging in; if you care about your children it would probably be best to not let them have TikTok whatsoever. Same goes for yourself too; I understand that you need to use those sites for work but at least don't expose yourself any more than you absolutely have to.
Delete tik tok,its going to be worth it.I removed it when i realised it keeps you hooked for long periods of time,too much dopamine released
I recognize your feelings. The solution for me was to delete it. For me there is hardly any chance of staying away from P* if I use Tiktok.
You dont need to be in social media. Just simply quit it. Including Tinder, Tiktog, whatever. IF we could live without social media 20 years ago, we can now.
This is a major cope. Delete it. TikTok is an app for pedos to get hard from looking at young girls do sexual dances. If you want to stop relapsing, delete the apps that cause you to relapse. If you are not willing to admit that these apps are bad for your wellbeing, even without the aspect of the overly sexual nature of them, you are a fool. Also why would you create a thread about a specific problem, then argue that the solutions most of the guys here are providing won't work? I understand it is a hard truth to swallow, but you are clearly being willfully ignorant of the problem.
Best of luck mate, I know this journey is hard, but if you push through these parts of the journey you can be a great man at the end of it.
It's like saying that someone you know have the flu, so you must get sick with the flue as well. Your daughters use tiktok, they have a problem. so your solution is to also have this problem ? how does it help you, and how does it help your daughters ?
I know it's true, but when I lie down it's hard to fall asleep. I keep thinking about the images and the movements and it becomes very disturbing. I can't turn it off and when I touch myself, even unintentionally, it's complicated. Or when I listen to songs with beats that remind me of videos. Then I destroyed my entire sexual relationship with my wife because I lost the ability to have pleasure with her. I try, but I don't know if I can because the pleasure makes me lose control.
