I tells ya what I don't like...

[Promise]

Those 8 or so adverts that live in boxes at the bottom of every internet article ever.  The likes of Taboola and other clickbait bollocks.  I'd hazard that about 70% of articles including Cracked.com and IFuckingLoveScience articles have those adverts at the bottom and invariably some of them will use lewd or blatantly Photoshopped pictures, pictures of scantily clad or otherwise provocative ladies.

Thankfully they're so inescapably common that I've grown immune to them as triggers, but they represent the worst parts of advertising; using sex to sell a product, misleading headlines, nothing of substance, image manipulation, celebrity swill and modern side show voyeurism.

Who's with me?

Right, they are annoying. There are websites where those addons are more provocative. There is an option in every web browser to dont display images from websites, i dont use this option but there is that possibility. What i do is tap it with my hand to dont see it.

I'm with you on this one, but it applies to all kinds of advertising. There are ridiculous products that are not even remotely connected with women yet they are used as an incentive to sell them.
But it works, doesn't it? Yes, unfortunately.
The best thing for all men would probably be 90 days of abstinence in a completely neutral room. Our world is full of hard triggers.

I would really recommend you install an advert blocker (such as Adblock Plus) or even an extension that blocks images on a website by default, unless you add the website to a "safe" list or disable it for a page. I installed an extension to Chrome called Wizmage Image Blocker a month or so ago and haven't looked back (excuse the pun!) I've added several sites to the safe list when I know there won't be anything provocative on them (Reboot Nation being one), but thankfully it takes the sting out of news sites, YouTube and other sites that sometimes have those sort of adverts/images everywhere. Perhaps in the future I will reenable it, but honestly it is a very small sacrifice to make to find freedom.

If you are finding that they trigger relapses, either directly, or indirectly (through planting thoughts in your mind which later lead to porn), then ask yourself a simple question: am I prepared to face a minor inconvenience to eliminate this and achieve lasting freedom? If you aren't sure, then you probably aren't yet in a place where you desire freedom enough to pay the price for it.
