Yesterday, I had a bit of free time, I went on youtube, and I decided that instead of mindlessly scrolling youtube shorts, or watching some random content, I'd rather spend half an hour watching some nofap content that might be helpful and help me throughout my journey, I went to the search bar, typed nofap motivation, and guess what, hundreds of youtube videos, making some motivational videos, with some motivational music( aka music that teenagers use in their cringy videos, it sounds good not gonna lie), but the things is, the video consists of showing one minutre or less of degenerate pornstars twerking, or girls moaning, etc, then the music drops and they show you pics of great men and great figures etc, but seriously, do they not have a brain, showing a porn addict the most naughty and seductive clips of females on this planet, at the moment while he is looking for help to stop watching porn, that is crazy, it would work for a non addict looking for motivaion to stop going after lust, but not for an addict that can lose control after watching a tiny triggering clip. Then i said this nofap motivation is not gonna help, let me search, porn addiction recovery, i found some very good channels that talk about this topic, but i found a few channels, that even if they had good content, but they used the sexiest thumbnails on this planet, the title of the video would say, how to desexualize your brain before it ruins you life, and in the thumbnail they will put the sexiest girl on earth, bending over wearing a bikini and looking at you, I get that they do it for attention, so they could get more views, but it is dangerous, and i find it hypocrite, it's like organizing an alcoholism recovery meeting and giving people a small drink when entering.
I can understand/relate what you say. Last year i've figured out that some nofap groups/channels/stuff could make me more stressed due the fact they just keep spreading the same message that is already spreaded here or another corners of internet without these "anti-degeneracy" background. It's not bad at all, however i saw a lot of them doing it and even talking about affairs that P addicteds would talk. You should be very "picky" with what kind of content you consume because P is already part of internet and social medias. When you are good and decide to low your guard, you will hit the wall with face with a sort of P content.
This is one of the main reasons I stopped watching self improvement/nofap videos. Whenever a segment in a video talks about something related to nofap or semen retention, they blast you with almost "NSFW" content. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Also, some websites that talk about porn addiction do this too, that is why I always use an image blocker extension when browsing porn recovery articles from other sites.
