How to block porn on iPhone and Macbook

To be fair, he has jumped straight back into the game, called a number this evening sent over by a mutual friend, one of a single lady sight unseen to go on a blind date.

Turns out she was putting her kid to bed though so he noped right out of there.

Why? Is he that shallow that he has discounted her completely sight unseen, just because she has a kid? Sounds like She's the one with the lucky escape.
 
I figured someone might pop up and say that.

While it might seem unfair to some, I really don't blame anyone for thinking that might be a dealbreaker.

We all have certain qualifying factors when looking for partners at various points in our lives. He's still relatively young and it's just not what he's looking for in a partner.

No point in stringing someone along if it's potentially quite a big issue.

Log traffic and enable you (or another sponsor) to be able to look at it. That way he cannot view it in private which might be an effective way of helping him stop. Also, from my experience with heroin addicts, it's not simply about wanting to stop but finding something to replace it. He needs to find activities or hobbies that will take up that time and also avoid triggers that his brain has learned to associate with porn, like using his phone late at night or whatever they are.

There are help-groups online for this. If it's anything like drug recovery then not doing it solo will be an important part of this. His being open with you about it and reaching out is actually a really, really positive step. Good on you for being willing to help.
 
Tell him to get a grip. He is in control of himself, nothing else. If he’s decided he doesn’t want to do something then that should be enough to stop him doing it.

If not, he needs to sort out a lot more than his masturbation habit.

People are pathetic.
 
Thanks to everyone with legitimate and helpful suggestions (and the funny ones!)

I don't think my friend is addicted, he's just going through a rough patch at the moment. He asked for help and advice, I'm seeing what I can do to help him out seeing as he asked.

To anyone thinking it's pathetic, there are lots of people out for which porn can be a real problem.

Telling them to get a grip will probably only encourage them to grab their schlong and dive right into another session :D

Seriously though, it's like telling someone who is depressed to cheer up :rolleyes:

I'm kind of surprised to see that response from someone who seems to read and post in the mental health thread.

One quite public figure who has talked about his experience with this is Terry Crews, and he's got to be one of the least pathetic people out there.

pathetic adjective (SAD)
C2 causing feelings of sadness, sympathy, or sometimes lack of respect, especially because a person or an animalis suffering



Pathetic is exactly what your friend is, like it or not.

Learning to control himself, ie getting a grip, is the only solution to his problem. Sugarcoating and mollycoddling never helped anyone.
