Hi, I have not watched actual porn in a while. When I relapse, it is always to women’s wrestling matches. I think it’s because that’s the first thing I ever fapped to when I was a teenager. I used to watch videos of the WWE divas wrestling in very revealing clothing and get turned on by it. Is it as bad as watching actual porn? Worse? There’s some domination aspects to women’s wrestling that get my adrenaline pumping and it has kind of become my fetish. Sometimes after a long streak, I will also look at Instagram photos or images on google of women in little clothing. Any opinions? I know it’s not good, but is this progress?
It sounds like it's porn for you. Stop watching it since it's the main thing you fap to. Same for Instagram, yes it's porn or porn subs is what they call it here. I personally don't worry about seeing a provocative photo somewhere, but if you are looking for them or staring at them then it's a form of porn
Dang, I guess I can't watch women's mma anymore. It's entertaining but I do find some of those women attractive.
If you are watching videos to get sexually aroused, you're doing the same thing as watching videos specifically made for that purpose. It's a relapse.
I guess anything artificial that turns you on should be classed as porn. People call things that are not categorised as porn content porn substitutes. So things like social media images and videos of hotties, booty shaking videos on youtube, and in your case women's wrestling. You need to understand if you get turned on at searching and viewing any of these things that it's the exact same thing that's happening in the brain as when you get turned on by searching and viewing what is categorised as porn content, and it's the exact same behaviour. They might initially be milder than what is categorised as porn content, but it is still the exact same thing that is happening in the brain, and it is the exact same behaviour. I actually find certain social media content basically as arousing as what is categorised as porn content.
I think this is the answer you're looking for man. Don't watch something if you're doing it for the intent of arousal. I deleted instagram and snapchat for this reason. I would too often be looking at my feed in hopes of seeing a hot girl from my high school or something in a skimpy bikini.
