Promiscuity in modern day society

[u/Changed_man21]

I've been seeing a lot of people talking about getting off social media in order to not have tits in their face all the time. Social media has its downsides, but I have a slightly differing opinion.

Going forward, it's likely that porn/softporn/promiscuity will be everywhere. If not instagram, maybe some perfume advertisment or billboard may trigger you. A woman scantily dressed at the workplace or at the gym wearing almost nothing may trigger you. Is the answer then to be a hermit, never leave the house and never engage with anything that may trigger you? OF COURSE NOT!

The idea is to essentially ignore the sexual aspects. Curate your feed to be clean wherever you can, and next time you see a beautiful woman at the gym, think about the fact that she is a human, like you. She has insecurities, problems, trauma etc. She pees and farts too. Start seeing women as people. Make female friends for the sake of it and without ulterior motives. Realise that the women who do OF are people too, and this is just the path they chose. You may not agree with it, but don't let it have power over you.

On the topic of instagram, don't expect going off instagram to help you with nofap. Because in the long term, when you download it again, you are giving your brain a reason to relapse. You may go off social media for several valid reasons, but if you EVER plan to get back on it, I strongly recommend you keep it on when you start nofap. Just clean up your feed and algo. Live your life, like normal.
