    I have started noticing that I am habitually opening up an incognito window and porn websites and just looking for a little bit then closing it, no masturbation or anything, just a total habit.

    Something's wrong.

    That's literally like an alcoholic opening a bottle of alcohol and smelling it.

    Such a helpful post.
     
  4. Craving that small shot of dopamine, it’s not uncommon but best to cut that out as much you can

    Maybe you should just block those sites.
    I actually do the same thing but close it as soon as possible and then do pushups

    Site blockers are just a click away from turning off, don't see how they are at all effective. Also they are privacy intrusive, they monitor every website you go to and most will sell that information.

    Fairly ignorant question, but nevertheless. It's quite simple to block remote trackers, it's also quite simple to anonymize your searches. What isn't simple, is blocking this sort of tracking when you have something else installed that does it with absolute permission.

    A lot of people don't care about having their information stolen and sold, I don't push it on others. Just not a fan of being a sheep to the trend. Couldn't tell you how many people I've seen have a shocked look when I show them the privacy settings on their phone. The realization that all these games and such they haphazardly installed have access to their camera 24/7 really freaks them out.

    I do recommend doing some basic research on this kind of stuff though, it is worth at least being aware of how easily you can be watched.

    I have done my research . First of all it depends on the configuration .Do your research before jumping into conclusions.
    Fapsecure was created by @xXsinnerXx , it basically uses a systempolicy to enforce a DNS which blocks all p sites.
    and then I use K9 ,the company literally shut down like 3 years ago , who do you think is tracking my data.I also use some policies made by chrome in regedit
    Then for ColdTurkey I use a windows firewall to block it from the internet.
    For phone I used FamilyLink by google. or an applocker,with testDPC from which I can monitor all network traffic. TestDPC is a sample android MDM.
    If your "privacy" is more important t than this addiction , good luck with that

    Quitting the internet is an unrealistic and not a sustainable course of action- unless you are going to live in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere, I assume that isn't happening and therefore you will need to find a way to break this habit with the internet in your life.

    You have already vetoed using porn blockers as they are "just a click away" from disabling but it may still help you initially resit the urge to look at porn until you break the habit. As for any security concerns, your internet service provider should have an option to block harmful websites also.

    Ultimately though it does come down to choice, if you want to quit porn then choose not to load it up, it's the one goal you set for yourself and you just need to find other ways to distract yourself when you feel tempted.

    I used to do that. Always lead to masturbation sooner or later. You aren't helping yourself. This is just bad for the brain.

    I guess you already looked at its code and found out that it does nothing more than enforcing Cleanbrowsing DNS. I don't want to spy on other people and I haven't made any effort in learning how to code an app to do that. I just made this app to help others and it took long hours to code it because I'm not a professional programmer. There are more important threats to your privacy like Facebook and messenger apps and personally I don't think about it too much because they are spying on everyone else.

    That's exactly what I was trying to tell. That's what blockers do .
    I don't think anyone created a blocker to spy on people and steal their data

    I used to watch P. When I had a job to do in the night. I used it as a replacement for caffeine. I couldn't MO then, otherwise my low self esteem would kick in. It wasn't very effective work.

    It eventually ends up edging, and then masturbating, and then cumming again and again. 2+2=4 my bro. If you keep doing what you were doing then you'll have the same endings. Your brain is tricking you and if you don't quit this habit then you will give up eventually.
