 I am new hear. I am a single 29 year old male. For as long as I could remember, I was drawn to girls who played with their shoes(especially barefoot).  I guess it's how I was wired.

Through my teen and early 20's, I've never really had a problem with lust(premeditated fornication).  Until Youtube came to be. There are guys there who secretly film girls candidly shoeplaying, dangling, or otherwise going barefoot in libraries, food courts, bus stations, etc. And I can't seem to totally kick the habit. For years now(ever since September 2007), I've prayed about this struggle. At times I would succeed. But then Satan would assault me again. I have decided to cut myself off from Youtube(the right hand that's causing me to sin).

But how do I permanently block this website off my notebook without spending a dime? Can anyone teach me? I am on a Gateway Laptop. I've tried Webblocker 2.0 and for three months it worked like a charm. But suddenly Youtube was unleashed again. Anti-porn software will not help since it's not geared for these type of issues! Foxfilter will only work on two browsers  Please oh please give me a solution. 

God Bless, R.J.

OK - try this again.  Last time it lost my post .....

I do understand what you are talking about and I would submit that the problem is NOT in your computer or blocker software but with yourself. You will find women barefoot or playing with their shoes almost everywhere IRL; and some shoe commercials seem almost pornographic to me, like they were intended to get men aroused by images of feet. (and I do not find feet arousing)

What you describe sounds a lot like a foot f e t i s h, especially if you regularly get aroused by foot images.

If that is the case, then you need counseling to rid you of the f e t i s h or what ever it is. (and than CAN be done)  Find a good biblical counselor that deals in sexual issues.

Honestly, I never have this issue except when I'm on Youtube. For 2 months I've blocked the site with webblocker 2.0(and felt relieved). But now it's suddenly stopped working(and they don't have any contact links). 

What I'm saying is that Youtube is the right hand that is causing me to sin. Is there a way to manually block this site from my Laptop?

Thanks, R.J.

I suppose that depends on if you have a firewall set up on it or not.  You can put youtube on a "disallow" or "block" list.  Most firewall software can do that.  Your router may also be able to do that.

Thanks...

Oh and I have  a Toshiba not a Gateway laptop.

O.K. how do I manually type in youtube.com in my windows firewall settings?

That is a question more for the computer forum.  I do not know windows or networking that well.

mmmmm......Toe jam.
