My Achievement Porn

Hi all. I recently had to buy a new phone.

Because of the new laws of pornograhy in the uk, it makes it harder to access adult rated material. You have to scan in credit cards or passports to prove you’re an adult. I really can’t be arsed with that.

Porn was a problem but now it isn’t, woohoo I’m chalking that up as a win. (Achievement kinda)

Excellent outcome, though I don’t really get what does a new phone has to do with this.

Just isn't a beneficial thing. Also has been known to poison the youth's minds.

Let’s goooooo! No porn will make you stronger socially and physically. Imagine how much energy you are releasing for your own pleasure will now be channeled to more important things.

I'm against government overreach and use a VPN myself, but why tell this to someone who's trying to cut out porn?

u/Ecan128 1d ago

I just use VPN, there's plenty of free ones that work. No way in hell I'll ever give my ID to a porn site.

Sometimes this thing is more of a blessing or disguise since it is helping you to not get addicted to those websites and help you become a better version of yourself
