How to Block Porn

Hi there, I want to stop masturbating. I want to stop watching pornography. This is because I do not believe it is healthy and also I do not believe it to be moral (according to my religious values). I'm not looking for a debate on these points, instead, I ask for advice on how to block such sensitive materials from my devices.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

You can use parental controls to limit what you can see: on iOS for example, go to

Settings and tap Screen Time. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.


You can also block certain URLs from your phone, and also turn on child safety functions on your phone, e.g. safe browsing on google, it's something along the lines of "safesearch" which you can turn on in settings, good luck!

Thank you very much
You can also set up a private DNS, such as OpenDNS, which can effectively filter such content.

You can also call your Internet Service Provider to prevent searches for pornographic content. Don't be embarrassed. They are used to these type of requests in today's world of porn saturation. It should stop most, but not all, of the content. As others have said, you can block content on your device too in browser etc..
