    I have friends that send me porn and joke stuff that can be pornographic. I just fear seeing this stuff as I don't want to relapse.

    I will be honest most of my friends think all this not using porn nofap stuff is crazy. The thing is most of my friends have girlfriends and have regular sex. But I think they have basically been very moderate porn users all their lives. I don't think they have ever been that heavy users. Where as I have heavy PMO binged for basically a decade.

    But trying to explain to them I don't want that stuff sent to me, they would just think I am over reacting and being stupid.

    You could always just block their emails, but if not, it sounds like you're going to have to choose either your friends (as long as they refuse to stop sending you porn type material) or your sexual sobriety. I sincerely hope you're not foolish enough to try to keep both.

  3. I think most of us will face something like that. I know I did.

    Even though you consider them moderate users and you someone who has had a more addictive past the fact is porn is nasty. It supports all sorts of messed up things and even moderate users are still being poisoned by it & supporting an industry that really is at its root depraved and perverted. It might be a slower decline for them but they will feel its effects in their personal lives and mentally as they get older.

    See what's happening is your changing your life and whenever you begin to do that the things of your old life like habits jobs friends work etc are going to push back. Whether they are aware or not. It's life testing you now in all aspects. If they are clowns who cant respect you when you put your foot down and say STOP then they're not the kind of person your striving to be. It might be time to find a better tribe of guys. As you step up in your personal potential part of that challange can be letting go of things that don't work for you anymore, that can include friends.
    It happened to me just this last year and everyone of those dudes were, quite frankly, misogynistic pieces of shit who all had deep porn habits.

    You may have t find a new group of friends if they don't respect you enough not to send you that type of material. There are a lot better people out there to meet that understand that people want to better their lives and will be supportive. And have fun doing it.

    - Find new friends.
    - Porn can pop up everywhere, close and afar.
    - Don't burn bridges.
    - Be firm on your NO stance with them.
    - Express where you're going.
    - It's their choice if they travel in the same direction as you or go the other.

  7. So whats the issue? Delete it and tell them not to send any more. Issue solved.
    No need to go and explain it to them.
