    For motivational purposes I searched #nofap on Instagram. Not a big succes, at least 10% are sexy or suggestive posts. Especially if you're easy triggered. Now I know that it would probably be for the best to avoid IG all together, might try that. I already "rooted out" the sexy/suggestive post in the Explore-page so I should be okay. Just wanted to give an heads up.
    Cheers.

    Thanks for sharing this. Instagram does indeed have many triggers.

    Wow you did 13 days with Instagram in your phone. Hats off
    I wonder how many days you can do if you remove Instagram.

    My first attempt on NoFap could have went a whole lot better. I constantly teased myself with things... including eye-candy from Instagram. After that first relapse, I realized I had to go "hard mode". I removed Instagram AND Snapchat. To be honest, I didn't miss either. Even with non-P content, I would waste my time scrolling through animal videos, friends and their "good life" pics with them getting married, having lots of babies... but I digress... anyways after I removed IG and Snapchat, I found that I did NOT miss those apps!

    It's been over a year, I am back on Instagram, but I am cautious. I have permanently removed Snapchat. I have for the most rewired myself. If I scroll through IG, I am cautious, and I am not that triggered anymore. If anyone is considering to remove IG (whether permanently or for a little while), I endorse it! It's a fantastic idea!! :)

  11. That is an overgeneralisation IMO @2525. I use social media, Facebook, and I've never seen a p/sub there. Others have said they exist on that platform. However, it seems in most cases they were searching for them. :rolleyes: Or they were not so judicious about their 'friends'. o_O I use Facebook daily, but just have a handful of contacts none of which are triggering.

    Following that train of tought an argument could be made that nofap.com itself is a P-sub..
     
  13. Instagram sucks for this journey.
