    Is there a way to download a program that permanently deletes stuff? I am sure it's out there somewhere.

    The cosplayers are very suggestive though. These are pics I would masturbate to in the past.

    So the only way to make a deleted file "un-recoverable" is to put some other file into the disk(hard disk partition)which contained the P file in order to overwrite it.The more files you add the more difficult it becomes to recover the deleted file.I heard deleted files will still remain in the hard disk waiting to be overwritten by some other file.Once overwritten the chances of recovering it become less and the more files you add the more difficult it becomes to recover it to the point where it can't be recovered.

    Are you serious FreedomFlight? :confused:

    How is it pragmatic to backup "very suggestive" material he "would masturbate to in the past"!?

    Just get rid of that crap. Would you want your wife or daughter looking at that stuff? Would you want them knowing that YOU look at that stuff? Take a hammer to the drive and be done with it. Throw that crap away man.

    Also, someone mentioning that they have porn or softcore stuff that is worth money. So what? You lose money through wasting time masturbating when you could be productive. In my case, I masturbated so much I caused myself medical problems and now I have a see a doctor. That all costs money.

    Delete all that crap!

    I havent had any shitty porn stuff on my computer for the last 6 years. And I still recall how I felt destroying an external hard drive with 100GB of porn. At first I felt ok, then a day later, I was sorry for what I did because I lost all the so-called "good stuff" which took me years to find and download.

    But what the heck.. guess what, I am still here trying to beat this addiction. Porn shit is just a button click away, that's why it is so detrimental. So, you better get a decent porn filter/blocker or if you have an accountability partner, let that person monitor what you actually do on your computer.

    All the best,

    Personally I took a different approach:

    I encrypted everything with the password "nofap"...this way if I wanted to relapse, my stash itself reminds me that I'm about to fail. But because I have the porn I like on my PC, I don't go searching for something else. Basically I turned my own porn stash into a relapse prevention tool ;-)

    Works for me, most likely this approach doesn't work for everyone. But if you go encryption, don't use a complicated password like fgbgtadfszth564 that you hide somewhere, that wont stop you...use something simple that reminds you that you are about to fail.

    The reason behind it would be far too easy for me to get new porn. I know there are good blockers out there, but I also know how to get around them...and I can't work without admin rights on my PC, so crippling my PC in a way that might work wasn't an option for me.

    Interesting logic - i can understand your point and if it works for you, great.
    i deleted everything but I certainly take your point about using access criteria (passwords etc) as reminders to stop.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Deleting them is the first step.
     
  15. I deleted my stash a few months ago, the most difficult part for me now will be controlling the urge to watch porn or get new material.
     
  16. Yeah deleting the stash is the way to go and like someone previously said, its hard to lose the "good stuff", videos and pictures that give the greatest "self-gratification" and I hope to believe you can move on from that. I've spent hours looking for the "good stuff" like certain pictures of celebrities or videos with the right angles, now I realize that was such a waste of time. I'd rather be more productive learning to play the guitar or reading a book that could fill my brain with knowledge and ideas rather than having my brain filled sexual imagery because lets face it, you can't use that information in the real world. So I guess its more than deleting your computer hard-drive, its also about deleting those files stored in your brain too.
