Ever delete your account in a panic and regret it?

[ViolinSunburst]

I did that recently. (I was IntrovertWantsOut before.)
I deleted my tumblr too, which had thousands of pics in it.
Also flickr, where I started / moderated two groups ("Faggot Captions" and "Femdom Caption Group")
And all related email in my "kinky" email account.

What a maroon!

In retrospect, I wonder why I did it. An over-reaction to stress in other areas of my life, I suppose.
Now I wish I had not.
But what's done is done.
Starting over has it's advantages. And disadvantages.

Anyone else ever been in this boat?

I hope it's not just me. I hate it when it's just me. ;o)

I have never deleted my Literotica account though I have left it inactive for a time.

In what I refer to as, "Guilty purges", I HAVE deleted memberships from many adult sites, and before deleting several web hosting accounts I've deleted libraries of explicit self-images and videos. I also deleted them all from my personal computers and digital storage media....of course...using digital wiping and cleaning technology rendering them unrecoverable. I've also "purged" collections of adult toys and lingerie.

I'm over that. I'm finally comfortable with who I am and never again will I deny it and delete content. I'm slowly rebuilding but....oh how I wish I had that old content back.

Thanks for the response!.
"Guilty purges" is a good term for it. And also, at least in my case, a sense that, "I'm over this." But I'm not over it. There's no getting over it. I don't even want to be over it. Though at times it is tough to keep a real relationship going while thinking of the things I discuss here are running through my mind....

I, regrettably, did the same thing. Several years worth of material gone from this and a couple other sites.

Time to start all over. I anticipate having as much fun the second time around but will miss the things that served to document where my head (and cock) were in the past.

The Little Head Telling the Big Head What to Do

I have deleted several accounts when possible and I do believe "UnderMyKilt" coined an excellent term by giving the reason "Guilty Purges." Something when I am online I am not always thinking with the big head and the little head often gets a little bit too curious and signs up on a site he soon regets.

FYI ... I am not sure you can delete your account on Lit so if you don't wish to leave a paper trail think twice with the big head.

Hmm, you may be right. But this is a new account with the same email address.... I'll have to look into it though. I hope you're right---I miss some of my old contacts!

I’ve thought about leaving several times mostly because there are hateful people on this site. I’ve stuck around simply because there are more good people on this site than bad. So unless the apocalypse happens in my lifetime, I’m here for the long haul.Kant

I would think "deleting" an account in some sort of panic has bit more to it. viewing something, or communicating with someone, oh I don't know, might draw the attention of authorities... f**B**k is having this issue...

just remember....you NEVER EVER completely "Delete" on the internet or computer.

I have never felt it necessary to delete an account in a panic...I have followed the instructions to have an account discontinued and it would eventually be removed in 90 day...

Phases

I go through phases where I do this also. About once a year, I begin to feel that the whole erotica scene is taking over too much of my energy and time. And so I purge everything, toss my fleshlight, wipe my drives (toss out the encrypted portable thumb drive after wiping), delete my Tumblr blog, etc. It then usually takes about two weeks before I begin to get antsy, missing the thrill of it all. And then I slowly rebuild it, buy a new fleshlight (Quickshot, $20 on A**z*n!), get a new thumb drive and begin again. It all comes back like an express train. Damn, it feels good...

Sounds familiar!

And for me a big part of it is the sense that it is taking up too much of my time and also that it is not really helping anything. I mean, how many blowjobs do I need to watch??? ;o)

But I find my way back....

I have done this several times also. I don’t mind the digital stuff. It’s the toys and other objects that I wish I had not tossed out. Many of which were expensive or embarrassing purchases. I too go in phases when I am so horned up and insatiable that all this erotica takes over my life. I’m up all night, not eating, abandoning relationships. So I get rid of everything and try to go back to “normal.” Never takes long till I’m back for more, lol.

Yeah, I’ve been down this road more than once. It’s always irritating when I’m making the trip to the adult superstore to replace the toys, etc.

YES---, there are some VERY unscrupulous, evil minded mutha fuckas out there...

 

[hornyguy888]

Been there, more than once

 

[Sunnyade]

Not my Lit account but others.

 

[ViolinSunburst]

Too many times I've had guilt attacks and deleted accounts as well as thousands of pictures of nude women, and collections of cock closeups that were stored on my computer. Sometimes it was less guilt than fear of the stuff being found on my computer, either while I'm still alive or maybe even worse, posthumously. I consider these activities to be, at my age, little more than a fun, innocent 'escape' from the stresses of life and periods of boredom. And as my wife has, like many older women, lost the interest and vitality needed for an active sex life, these things are an outlet for a guy who is still very much needs sexual stimulation and release, even if it must be obtained through masturbation.

And that's my attitude and I'm sticking to it... :^)

I feel that way too. Though my girlfriend still likes sex. But some of the things I'm into (at least in fantasy), she is not. If she only knew what was running through my mind when I cum in her....

 

[Mqoi]

A few times. I've yet to delete my account here though. Although I do use a different web browser for the kinky stuff.

 

[partsecond]

After my divorce from my female wife... I sent out a lot of emails to men, to hook up.

I received many responses...

I deleted my email....

Now, in a relationship with a wonderful woman... I regret at least responding to those other emails.....

All well..... ?
