Why should you be using porn blockers?

Why should you be using porn blockers?

Because it’s really hard to quit porn when it’s just a click away.

There will be times when willpower will fail you. Say for example, you were very tired or had poor sleep one day.

What if you were having a bad day and you're thinking that watching porn might be a good idea?

We know very little about willpower. But we now know that the prefrontal cortex of the brain is primarily responsible for willpower.

So what damages your prefrontal cortex?

1-Not getting enough sleep.

2-Chronic stress

3-Masturbating to porn.(Most importantly)

That’s why when you relapse once, it becomes easier to relapse again and it becomes much harder to control yourself as you have temporarily damaged your prefrontal cortex. You have probably read this on YBOP, that masturbating to porn decreases the grey matter in your prefrontal cortex. Grey matter represents the cell bodies in the brain. So porn literally kills your prefrontal cortex where your willpower lives.

What happens when your prefrontal cortex is fucked up? This gets us to an important function of the prefrontal cortex: Concentration, that's why you get the worst brain fog ever when you relapse.

(Other diseases of the prefrontal cortex: Attention deficiency (ADHD) & Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD). )

When you start watching porn notice how your heart rate goes crazy! It will remain high for a few minutes but will eventually fall back to normal. I’m one of the people who believe that the heart is the center of emotion and not the brain. Maybe the brain is involved but the heart is the master of your emotions.

What does that have to do with anything?

That rush your heart gets when you watch porn, numbs your heart, it makes it insensitive to other emotions.

A family member may die, and you won’t feel shit, you will try as hard as you can to cry, but you just can’t feel anymore, your heart is dead.

Things that used to get you excited in the past, like hanging out with friends can’t get you excited now. At this point, only porn can.

But not even “average porn” can get you excited now, the old porn doesn’t make your heart go as crazy as before, you have to watch novel and weird porn to get the same effect.

We need to stay away from this drug as much as we can. If all what a porn blocker can do is to increase the number of clicks between you and watching porn, so why not give it a try? Why not give your willpower an aid?

Porn filters are there to stop you when you are thinking you can’t take it anymore, it can stop you when you’re about to do something you’ll regret.

DO NOT use porn filters as a crutch, they are just there to help you when you’re weak.

If you depend on them too much, you will always end up finding a way around and watching porn.

I highly recommend you find a friend or a family member to enter and hold your passwords.

2-Blocking all VPN

If you're using VPN/proxies/DNS changers to bypass filters, you could use this method to prevent your phone from connecting to VPNs whether manually or by using VPN apps.

So use this if:

1-You don't need a VPN to access important sites

2-You could use VPNs to bypass the filters

Steps:

On your phone:

1-Enable Developer mode and enable USB debugging:

2- Enable: "Disable permission monitoring". This is usually the last option in Developer mode. It's not present in some phones especially the in old ones: https://pasteboard.co/JF6u4Pn.png

3-Change the USB option to Media Device/MTP. You could that after connecting your phone to your PC by a USB cable as you usually get a notification to choose the USB option. You could also swipe down the status bar of your phone to set the USB options after you plug the phone. If you still can't find it, typing "usb" in the search bar in your settings app could help.#masturbation #porn #pornography #nude #nudes #sex #nofap #stoppornography #stopnasturbation
