Computer Help

The solution is simple. In my own personal opinion, it is physically and absolutely impossible to stop looking at porn if you're the only one who has the password to unlock porn on your computer. You need to get accountability. Someone else needs to be in charge of what you're allowed to look at online, as well as obviously being aware that access to ANY kind of porn or porn substitute needs to be completely prohibited.

 

Solutions to what, exactly?

 

Bro, honestly i just gave my laptop to my friend. He has had it for almost 3 months now. Best decision in my life bro…

 

In my experience, anything can be easily disabled, and sometimes filters turn off on their own.

 

You should use Pluckeye: it blocks everything very well inside the computer.
Pluckeye is a whitelist, meaning you need to build you own list of websites that you wish to enter. and keep it.

You should block your passwords away from you using Pluckeye lockbox.

You are welcome

 

If you have a laptop with internet access, and you're the only one with the passwords to anything on it, I'm telling you honestly, it won't work. I've been around and seen a lot and I've never once seen or heard of anyone beating (or coming close to beating) this addiction without help from other people and a lot of accountability. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to tell you the ugly truth. In my opinion, you need to either get someone else to keep the passwords for you, or you need to expect relapses. A LOT of them.

 

I think you're forgetting an option: not using a filter.

 

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you're getting my point. I'm not saying that your methods of being online might not work. I'm saying they won't work. Sooner or later, you will relapse if you have the ability, ultimately, to go anywhere you want online. It doesn't matter if you've memorized the passwords or how hard it may be to go online. This is an addiction and the addict inside us will often times go to any length to get that "fix" we want so badly.

 

What do you mean? Are you suggesting that a sex/porn addict go online without a filter?

 

Yes. If the filter leads to relapse so often, as you seem to suggest, you should get rid of it. Or do you suggest that there is no hope of recovery for a porn addict?

 

I don't understand why you say that.

Filter keeps you away from the problem.
no having filter keep you close to the problem.

the normal person would prefer anything that keeps him away from the problem of falling from the roof.

take your house for example, if it has a roof: it probably has a fence. why ? because it keeps you away from the problem

 

I'm suggesting that there is basically no hope for an addict who relies on himself to not access porn without any outside help. If the addict has the passwords to getting online unrestricted, then, in my experience, no, there's not much hope at all.

And just to be clear, you're saying that if an addict resets quite often with a filter, then getting rid of the filter is the answer???

 

Hello,
I too had the same problem as you, and I fixed it by using 3 blocker apps: Cold Turkey and CleanBrowsing Filter for PC and Stay Focused (permanent premium) for Android. My method is to block enough websites to deter me from ever thinking of watching porn. Thanks to the Pareto principle, I know that 20% of the porn sites I visit constitutes 80% of the porn videos I watch online (in reality, it's a lot less than that - I've blocked ~600 sites and only about 16 - 19 of those sites I visit more than 90% of the time), so I think the same more or less applies to you, my fellow abstainer. I don't have to worry about the rest; they're but deterrents, and they represent a much larger mass of porn sites to help me steer away.
For PCs, I first activate the Adult filter on CleanBrowsing to make a preliminary block, then I activate my Cold Turkey blocking lists attached below. You should buy the full license for Cold Turkey, as it allows access to the "Applications" section. In my applications list, I block the emergency uninstaller for Cold Turkey and access to CleanBrowsing so that once I've set it, I can forget it.
For Android, I know there are apps that are in the gray zone; that is, they have both non-NSFW and NSFW content (i.e. Reddit, DeviantArt), so I blocked them along with every porn site in my Cold Turkey blocking list. I also used CleanBrowsing's free porn filter for Android. You can check it out below:
https://cleanbrowsing.org/filters/
https://cleanbrowsing.org/for-adults/
However, there is one critical weakness with this Android setup: If you've bought the permanent premium and set the blocks to only Lock Mode Level 1 (I don't do Level 2 because it can get very inconvenient when you need to change something), which only blocks you from editing your profiles but not the system settings app, you can go to Accessibility -> Installed Services (whatever it's called) and disable both the DNS and the blocks. I patched this by implementing a block on the settings app itself, so that when things look dicey, I can just - poof! - institute a quick block until the urge has passed.

Try 208 67 222 123 & 208 67 2220 123

it works but you can still erase it and porn will be available
