    Hello:
    Im new here. I just want to ask some things before starting
    Im starting on 24 July 2019. Im so hypped for it! The problem is that i dont know how to avoid watching, acidentally, triggering images on Internet. For example, i feel really, really bad when im rebooting but then, one day, i accidentally see an image on internet that is related to the porn i like. Then i have to start again because i feel really bad. I want to ask for expert opinions:
    -How can i avoid watching porn images on Google, Instagram, Twitter... so i can be sure nothing sexual will ever appear on there. Are there filters or something i could use to avoid those images?
    - Have you guys ever watched accidentally sexual images on your rebooting but you still continued and now you feel better? I ask this because i dont know if watching sexual images accidnetally will affect my rebooting...
    Thank you for reading this and excuse my bad english!
     
  2. Some websites have built-in NSFW filters that let you block that kind of content. For example, on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/settings/feed, there is a setting to either blur NSFW content or to completely hide it. Google has a SafeSearch setting that reduces NSFW content. But no filter is perfect, so you'll still see NSFW stuff from time to time regardless.
    Here's the thing. It's almost impossible to avoid seeing sexual images because they're freaking everywhere. A few days ago I opened SoundCloud to find rock music to listen to, and I saw 3 thumbnails in a row of girls in bikinis. You can try to reduce your exposure, but you can't get away completely. You just have to get used to seeing these images and don't be affected too much by them. Remember that there are two goals in rebooting:
    1. Don't look up or intentionally watch porn
    2. Don't masturbate
    Those two things are what you should focus on. Don't worry about what you can't control.

    You cannot be further from the truth. You go to the mall, guess what? Women's clothing shops have model photos of bikini clad girls. You go for a walk, teen girls can't bother to wear a tanktop. You see your neighbor watering her garden in that bikini she likes. You watch TV, women in bathing suits are advertising for some household products.

    Sex sells. So sex is everywhere. You just need to learn how to build up An immunity to it.
