    Just joined, I'm glad I found this.

    Getting rid of my "collection" has worked for me in the past. It helps to have the mindset that I don't have it anymore.

    7 Day challenge accepted. :)

    What are your thoughts about keeping naked pictures of an ex girlfriend? If I am not looking at them and keeping to my challenge, comments?

    I think you know the answer to that already, when your brain wants porn you'll kid yourself and look at them thinking it's ok. Delete them and move on, plus (I don't know your situation) but I'm guessing she'd probably not want you to keep them. Personally I think entertained fantasy with real-life women, especially when coupled with masturbation can be at least as dangerous as PMO. Trust me, you don't need that shit in your life.
     
  4. Delete them. There's no positive reason to keep them around. Porn is porn, and they aren't something I would consider truly sentimental.


    Welcome to NoFap! Happy that you found us. Did you manage to delete everything?

    Simple: delete. Then find a new person in your love life that makes you happy. :)

    You haven't gotten rid of your collection until you delete the pictures of your ex. I encourage you to delete them and FULLY reboot your brain.

    I don't think you should be keeping naked pics of an ex-girlfriend anyway. Not that I haven't before, but looking back I see it was kinda wrong to do. But anyway like the others said, porn is porn, whether you know the girl or not it's still the same.

    I think so. Gotta go through my phone, tablet etc. too. I haven't wanted to search for them because seeing them does stir up emotion, not just arousal. It makes it easy to feel heart broken all over again. :(

    I removed all the pictures and videos with an Shredder program! in this case I can't even recover them with recovery programs! :)
    When I have them I can't stop thinking about them.

    I did that too when I wiped my external HD. Shredded it and then did a clean wipe. It's a good idea in you ever lost your HD or whatever.

    hey friends ,i feel bad as some of my friends talk about ex and as usual i also get with him,thus i usually pmo on that day,pls help!!!
     
  14. It is like a band-aid .. better to just rip it off quickly to get the pain over with :) No-contact is probably the best way to get over an ex (and that includes minimizing the time that you think about them).
