    I find it hard to eradicate them . What should I do
     
  2. Either you throw them out now or do NoFap untill you loose interest on them and then burn them. Believe me that is the best feeling ever.

  3. You know exactly what to do. You are here because you do not want to do it. So quitting is a story you tell yourself, you are not ready for any of it.

    Have a funeral. Without viewing them 'one last time' you say goodbye to them. Express your feeling on what they meant to you. Explain to them they are now not serving the better you, they are a terminal sickness that you must get rid of. Make it a turning point in time where you acted for you and were not victim to them. Dispose, bury, burn your old friends, move on to a better place, mourn their loss and be okay with it.
    It sounds silly, but seriously if it's effecting you this much emotionally treat it with respect and dignity. You will be better off for it, I promise.

    I had a gigantic porn collection.
    My life work with clips and images I spent years to collect and archive.

    But I tossed everything in the bin once I understood my ED was linked to my porn addiction. I never regretted getting rid of it, but unfortunately the internet never forgets, so this media will always be online for me to find if I should relapse.

    But nope, I done with that fake garbage.
    Never going to back.

    Same. But with me it was a fetish. I ended up just throwing them in the dumpster. Spent over a hundred on what I bought. Just put them in a bag and just throw them into a dumpter. not garbage cans as it's easier to get them back that way.

    Trying selling it to a vintage or antique store. Stuff that old might be of some value.


    On a serious note get rid of it if for no other reason than joining the 21st century.

    Where is @Zlatan meaan from? Some states/countries have very strict censorship of the internet, and the digital revolution didn't necessarily happen at the same time everywhere.
    Personally I was still buying video tapes into the 2000s as I could pick them up incredibly cheaply from my local video rental store, as they made the transition to DVD only - at the time a new DVD could cost £15 or more. Ironically they are now worth more than DVDs because of the 80s/90s nostalgia market...

    If you live somewhere with strict censorship I can understand why getting rid of your 'analog stash' might be more difficult - likely you risked imprisonment or a hefty fine to obtain it, and it will be extremely difficult to replace. But that doesn't make it good for you! You know what you have to do - get rid :)
     
  10. I think it might be a too big of a temptation to view them when you are feeling down or weak. Just destroy them once and for all and leave them in the past.
    You are turning a new leaf in your life and getting rid of negativity from the past is part of it.

    Getting rid of the porn is the easy part, but still very important.
    You know they aren't doing you any good, you know what should be done, we all do. You don't need us to tell you what to do with your stuff. Good luck.
     
  12. Throw them away. That's all.

    You have to realise that in order to be free, you have to understand one thing: You will never look at any porn again for the rest of your life. That's the first step, but afterwards it's getting easier and easier. I've been there before, so I know the feeling.
     
  13. Sounds like you still want to use them someday. Don't fool yourself.

    When I gave up cigarettes I kept a 20 pack and a lighter on my bedside locker for a long time.
    Why did I leave myself open to such temptation?
    I made it my choice whether I would smoke or not.
    I would never feel deprived or forbidden.
    It was my choice.
    I internalised the control.
    It really helped framing it like that.
