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? 
Just getting over a case of mild insanity here...

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
