    Tumblr was my favorite place to go for porn. There was always porn to find. Now that porn has been banned tumblr sucks. Ok there is also this rebellion part in me where I say well if if can’t look at porn on tumblr I am boycotting tumblr for good. Screw them. For some reason this has ruined ALL porn for me. Every time I try to look at porn I get pissed at tumblr and it ruins the mood. I haven’t been able to enjoy porn since the first part of December. My brain now links porn with being pissed at tumblr for being stupid. Supid being defined as one week having a policy where posting anything is legit because they are all about freedom and the next week, it goes to the other extreme where no porn or nudity is allowed whatsoever.

    Because anyone with a PA, if they are honest with themselves, likes porn a lot at least deep down, or else they wouldn’t have a problem with it. Sure it is easy to “say” you’re going to no PMA (bc words are cheap) but deep down you know if things get tough and stressful that you know where to go to bask in a pile of porn to make you feel better (for at least a little bit). My fall back was always tumblr.

    No matter how hard I try, my ole pal tumblr was there to help if the stress got too much and lead to an old fashioned amygdala hijack aka failure. You get stressed enough I don’t care how much you don’t want to look at porn, you gonna look at porn. That’s the lizard brain for you. BUT I find it now very ironic that Timblr pissed me off so much by taking my fail safe away (banning porn). I say ironic because anger is also an amygdala hijack. So I find whenever I am stressed and I think about porn, but then have an amygdala hijack via being angered from the whole tumblr banning porn situation. So the anger part is a distraction from the porn temptation part and I just basically say fuck porn out of spite because tumblr pissed me off so much. It is a complex process but the end result is that I refuse to look at porn from the whole being pissed thing.

    I still don't get this. None of us want to "fall back". If tumblr have stopped you falling back then let's celebrate.
    Agreed, in the same way alcoholics will always love alcohol.
    You are underestimating our capacity for change, your capacity for change.
    Giving up pornography is next to impossible, so we need to use anything that'll work to help. If your anger at Tumblr for banning porn helps you resist porn then great. But remember: Tumblr's porn ban is a good thing, the ban is helping you and many many others stay away from porn.

  5. I'm not sure whether to make a sarcastic comment about how tumblr banning porn is somehow a bad thing or to congratulate you for it actually helping you resist porn for, according to your counter as of writing this, 103 days.

    Tumblr is and always will be a shit hole. I'm glad they've shut themselves down, the world could do well without social media. It would benefit us all.

    I think it's great that this has happened, as it will help a lot of newbies not get addicted. We just need twitter and the rest to follow now.
