Porn Blocking

K9 web protection all the way. Block youtube as well. Make a random long password and give it to someone else. Good luck!

 

Open DNS, Cold Turkey software, Net Nanny, STOP PORN on softpedia.com are other alternatives.

 

K9 really works for me. I used to be able to get around it, but I tweaked the settings some, and it got tougher. There is still one streaming site that it doesn't block, but cutting out the two biggest ones has been a big help. And my settings are fairly customized, it probably would block that one too with stricter settings.

 

I haven't found anything that works on my phone though.

 

If you are starting to look for ways how to bypass the software, then you have already lost.

There is a mindset factor in NoFap for me.

Part of the mindset is that you will not be looking for porn.

What can happen is that some webpage with naked girls pops up to throw you off.

For that K9 is perfect.

Additionally, when I feel weak, I use self control.app which will allow me to go just to this forum. (It works for up-to 24 hours)

It does blacklisting/whitelisting.

Note that there is no contents-blocker provider which can block all the triggers out of your life.

I have tried to run it longtime (6 months) but there are simply some pages you want to visit and it will backfire.

Now, it is essential for me to decide every day that I will stay clean.

I thought the same actually. Remove the porn factor and one is cured right...

Actually, I have done it. For last 6 months.

I have done 159 days being clean of porn prior to that (took every day conscious decision to stay clean).

After I relapsed from that 159 days, I was like "ok, let' remove the porn from my life once and for all"

I have been relapsing for those last 6 months. (every 6th day in average)

Simply because there is no perfect porn blocker. I mean, you can block porn, but how about p2p. Will you block it all together...? How about youtube, hmm?

So for me, it always comes down to the choice... You need to make a choice every single day to stay clean.

Consider the following scenario:

You come to your home town and you have a friend. He is like "Man, do you know this girl, she runned away from home and made some porn tapes, do you want to see"

And before I could do anything, he started to play that bloody video...

You see, life is life and when addicted, you cannot shift the responsibility to something/someone else.

Sorry for be so brutally honest but I went this path and it have not worked for me. Maybe, it will work for you though. (everyone is different, right?)

 

Part of the problem with quitting porn is definitely the easy access. Even smoking cigarettes requires that you go to the store, spend money, and interact with people. All of those things should give you time to reconsider your relapse. For porn, there is practically no barrier to a moment of weakness, so you have to fight that much harder and stay vigilant.
