attention! I don’t recommend this to new nofappers or to people who still have strong urges.
It’s not something that helps you with your problems. I would only use it if I could go for long streaks (like a few weeks) where you relapse because of laziness or not spending enough attention rather than strong urges which come from not treated, psychological problems
As far as I know, there is no option to block porn on android which is 100% safe. especially if you know a bit about informatics it is quite easy to get past almost every barrier.
That means, if you have high urges during a long period of time, you will spend enough time to find a loop hole. Same with this approach. I know at least one weak spot but it is a time consuming one.
So it helps with spontaneous urges! The problem, once you know the loop hole you can use it as often as possible. If you apply this method at the beginning you can’t use it later on anymore because you know how to circumvent it.
So, here my current way to block porn on my smartphone:
- download spin browser & applock
- In applock setting choose that you can’t uninstall it, remove “settings” from the blocked list (i think settings is pretty important in the everyday usage), and block the standard browser like internet explorer and chrome as well as the playstore
- Choose a long password / code which you send to an accountability partner who has to store it. Choose someone you know quite well since he will need to store the password for a long time and you will need it every time you wanna install an app. which is quite a restriction but like that you can’t just install a new browser
The idea behind is that you are forced to use the spin browser. you can’t use or download a different one
(obviously, on the computer use K9 but I guess everyone knows that?)
