There is a great porn-blocker “Detoxify” which prevents me from using porn and apps I don’t wanna use. I don’t wanna use will-power to beat my addiction since that’s never worked and it’s tiring AF, at least not from the start.
I have autism with a hint of ADHD, so I need this blocker to at least get used to not having access to certain apps and sites so I can use will-power afterward.
At the same time, I like using Nord-VPN to watch anime on Netflix in Japanese with Japanese subtitles and everything. Since I’m learning Japanese, this is an amazing tool and I use it all the time. I don’t think I could live without it at this point. I don’t wanna use sites like “crunchyroll” etc because then I don’t have access to Japanese subs.
I cannot use both at the same time. There can only be one. I wanna use both, but alas.
Alternate option: there’s a program called cold turkey. It’s more expensive, but you only pay once. It’s very flexible, you can choose when/what/how your blocks work. It’s also compatible with VPNs.
I have a similar neurotype to you, and I use cold turkey to block habit forming games and websites (think Vampire Survivors, Twitter) until the evenings, so i can get work done.
porn blocker bro i promise nothing is worth ur sobriety and well being just explore a different avenue of learning japanese it could b rlly fun! its not worth it fr king keep it on, i genuinely feel like if you dont porn itself will get in the way of u accomplishing ur language goals i promise u its not worth being tempted at all! be safe!!
Get detoxify for a month or whatever until jerking off without porn becomes normal. I don’t know if it’s based on science, but they say it takes 3 weeks to break a habit. I’d give it a month+ to be sure. After that switch to Nord or another VPN.
Pretty sure it’s free.
Ah… Just saw that you need to not be able to switch it off, so stay focused might not be good enough.
I’d go with the porn blocker, focus on you mental health, you can find other ways to get the other content you’re interested in.
Hmm. That’s tricky. In the end, I’d say that you can probably find subbed or even unsubbed anime somewhere that’s not region locked, like pirate websites. Or watch anime on say, library computers that you can’t consume porn on.
