Trauma from the "goon" community

Just delete reddit and discord and stay away from things which remind you of gooning, I'm sure you will come out of it eventually....

 

What are you doing to recover from it?

 

This is the first time I've seen reference to gooning here. I got really hooked on that, such a low to hit, and appreciate you're bringing it up. It's probably where I would go if I relapsed. That and a few other related genres.

It feeds on your feeling bad about PMO . . . as you're doing PMO. Very nasty stuff. You did it. Learn from it, forgive yourself, move on. Do things that you feel good about.

 

I see a lot of people bashing Reddit over nothing. You only get porn there if you go looking for NSFW shit. Been on it for 3 years without a single incident; I've only seen it on groups that are outwardly sketchy or full of mature themes.

The problem is in you. Delete the internet if you must, but that's not solving the issue; It's running away from it.

 

I concur, I've been to reddit for random occasional questions for finance or getting rid of moles or whatever and never even considered using it for porn... guess that makes me a boomer

 

I'm sure it varies with the subreddit, though with NoFap it does seem like the quality of posts are generally higher on this forum than on the NoFap sub for whatever reason. Of course people may not want to limit themselves to this forum even when it comes to rebooting and it may vary with other topics but I'm guessing the fact that there are subforums here probably contributes to the experience being what it is, whereas a subreddit is itself a subforum I guess.

 

Guess you got roasted a lot there lmao. Idk what kind of low quality forums you're a part of but I've only found shit on reddit if I went looking for it.

 

Reddit can be useful at times, but it has also become a far-left echo chamber full of ideologue stooges in the last few years. A lot of subs will ban you for merely disagreeing with the status quo.

 

I do not use Reddit. But Sosuke Aizen is right, this is the thing about any platform. I use YouTube, I am on Instagram and I am on Facebook. I have never seen porn or even p/subs on any of them. Why? Because I do not go looking for it.

 

My brief experience with Reddit was that all the big groups are very uppity and have overly high thresholds for allowing new users to post. A lot of eye-rolling and high-handed moderation. Some interesting threads, but a lot of contradiction for the sake of contradiction. As for porn, I didn't see any because, as with @IGY, I wasn't looking for it.

 

I think that doing everything to not relapse is not running away from problem, it is deleting things that can cause a relapse and it takes strength cause you will miss out on the good things that they can also offer. That is strength in my opinion. Sure after healing you can go back there but nofap is hard enough as it is, no need to make it harder if you do not have to. This being said atleast for me all social medias and reddit are waste of time. I am sure that lot of you will disagree and I understand that. For me I only went there to kill time - sure you can make friends there especially during these times. But there is also a lot of triggering content pushed to your face and I do admit that sometimes I have gone there purposefully for those because of boredom/ lack of dopamine from the normal posts. After this pandemic and now if it is possible we all should spend as much time as possible doing stuff. However I am not perfect nor am I better than anyone - I do still waste time too on youtube etc.

Forgive yourself for watching them, the fact that you feel sick about watching them is a good sign. Now I think you should get over it and keep going on your journey. Pray God for forgiveness and you shall be forgiven. We all fail sometimes, it is okay. You should remove apps and accounts that include porn. It is good for you. I do not have any social medias and I still do okay even in this society. The people making those hypnosis videos are lost and they try to get you to lose your soul. Keep going and God bless you.
