I have a funny question, I'm sure there are many people here who can help. I created a new email account with a fictitious name to link to my GYE account, with anonymity and all. The YH doesn't sleep btw, and of all my email accounts this is the only one that I get indecent ads, from dating services etc. I found it very ironic and funny. For me it was proof that it's a holy email account:) Anyway, I am a shtickel am ha'aretz with tech stuff and although I'm sure there is a way to stop the ads from coming I can't figure it out. Can someone help me? I would need step by step directions

What email provider are you using? Gmail? Yahoo? Etc? 
Hi, my name is ILH and I’m grateful for having to focus just on today. 
Easy does it... I don't need to be perfect. 
If you figured out my identity, don't be shy, come say hi! 
It takes tons of courage to fight the good fight, but we don't have to do it all alone.

My advice would be to switch your email from available4fun@gmail.com to gimpelmasmid@gmail.com, and make sure you clear your browser history from any sites you have frequented in the past.

It is from Gmail, I only sign in from incognito so other people using the computer will not see it in the history, and I don't think I ever went to any bad sites on this computer. I also have other accounts from Gmail on the same computer, some that I sign in regular, some only with incognito, and no other account has this issue. 
cordnoy, I don't recall giving you my email address, have I? Because if I didn't, you freak me out by your choice of email address to switch to, which is almost like mine...

The Battle of the Generation by Hillel S. has been a huge help for me.  Message me to find out how you can receive a free copy.



some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

I think it’s because your email are about porn related, even if its to stay away from I but its women related, and also about intimacy, so its sending you related emails ads

There is a feature that disables sending personalized ads, and that should help

All the best
