    I've seen a few times that people use no social media here on NoFap, why exactly ?

    to avoid porn related things and things that can trigger you ? is that it ?

  2. Yes! because there's so many ways to bypass filters on your internet through use of social media sites for 1.

    2. It keeps you triggered cause you're constantly seeing the chick with yoga, sweatpants, bikinis, and half naked on them making you want to watch more hardcore porn, and masturbate.

    You have to get those images and thoughts out your mind.

    If you use it skillfully you don't have to view any such things.

    I take it back, at least Facebook and Twitter don't seem to feed me any of those things and I don't draw close to those types of people who post that garbage.

    However when I was using Instagram (no longer on it) I was constantly being fed yoga pants and bellies and sports bras and bikinis on the home feed page, against my will. Was not even related to the pages I was connecting with.

    To build discipline. To reduce urges to indulge the flesh. And perhaps for health reasons (fasting is healthy).

    Well not everyone who sees that is gonna look at hardcore P and masturbate but probably best to avoid if one has a porn issue.

    I quit all social media about a year ago but I miss it sometimes especially twitter since I made a lot of good online friends there.

    I'm going to miss memes though ;-;

    Although I have never had any social media account (thanks mom), I have trained my brain not to have sexual thoughts every time I see a female in a bikini, especially if it is an appropriate place like the beach or a water park. (Boners don't look good in public, last time I checked.)
    I do agree with you guys, though. Although I am at the age where I could (probably) secure my mom's consent for social media, I am just probably going to wait until I kick PMO.
