  1. hi
    just went on instagram, masturbated but stopped before coming
    cut it all, went to pee, pushed the urges

    how bad is it? I still feel excited and urged to do it. I've practically never stopped at that point

    how do u not fall into the trap? it's been 5 days off, did I just reboot ?

    Instagram is not pornography per se. It might be erotica, but not porn. You didn't orgasm, so I think it's not that bad, even though it could be better.

    My advice: Always think "Hands off." Repeat that sentence in you mind over and over. Because if you don't tought you dick, you can't masturbate. Easy as that. So hands off.

    PS: Even with the "hands off" methode, you must not watch porn! It's too hard not to masturbate while watching porn just for your entertainment. And after all, you want to quit masturbating, not watching porn.

    PPS: You can block instagram from you pc with your host file. You can look the guide up online. That way you can't access the site any more.

    No, I'm afraid not -.- Exept turning of the iPhone.
     
  5. Okay
    Well my concern was when doing that - masturbating but not jacking off - what's best to do to get back on your feet ?

    In my opinion it is relapse.
    You didn't PMO,so it is not full blown relapse,it is light relapse(my opinion,you don't need to accept it as relapse,i m doing hardmode and in my rules it is relapse).
    Instagram isn't same as porn,but it is psubs.Hot pictures of girls on instagram will give you dopamine rush,slow down recovery and lead to potential relapse.

    Anyway this what you have done is not very bad.It is far better than PMO relapse.
    Stay strong buddy and keep pushing!

  7. thanks mate.
    I've done a few push ups, ate veggies and I'm trying hard on a video game so the dopamine gets another direction, it is working.

    I don't think this is relapse. but i'll have to go gym or something soon (unfortunately all closed because of coronavirus)

    HI my advice would be to quit uninstall instagram or any other social media overall but because you haven't done it already I'm assuming you're forced to use it for whatever reason now if you want to use instagram but avoid failing here are some of my tips
    1: Never go on the Instagram top feed it will always include photos of IG Models and shit like that...
    2: Avoid checking DMS that are to flirty or messages with nudes from friends or strangers
    3: only use Instagram while you're around people to avoid yourself from whiping that Hog out from watching Instagram feed
    4: unfollow everyone who you don't interract with anyway like if you have a girl/boy that you don't talk to then why would you follow that account just to look at their pictures that means you already fooled yourself
     
  9. thanks for tips but I don't have ig/snap/tumblr or any shit.
    I just download ig when i'm really feeling like shit and PMO would make me feel better (what my demons say) you know

    I see what you mean that sucks! What I would do in your situation next time you download Instagram or other source delete the account afterwards because next time you will download Instagram it will force you to make a new account over and over again to the point where it will be such a pain in the ass doing those new accounts where you will just get tired of doing the whole process over and over again also it will remind you every time this.

    (“Wait what am I doing? I'm about to fail again!!!”)
    Making a new account every time will give you at least 2 minutes to remind yourself before failing. Good luck to you! Prayers up^.
     
  11. Aha man thanks. It's exactly what I've been enduring for months. I created dozens of accounts. But you know what it's the first times I pushed it.

    One thing you need to tell me before installing instagram or looking at porn overall there has to be something that triggered you in the first place before you decided to look at porn did you identify what motivates you to fail?
