    Hiya, just your average nerd here. From time to time I write video game reviews, otherwise I spend most of my time playing them when I'm not stocking the dairy department at work (third shift).

    Let me start off by saying "normal" porn doesn't turn me on - it's the kinky-oriented stuff, like same-size vore and giantess. Those are the two fetishes that turn me on the most. While I wouldn't exactly consider these as "porn," it does stimulate me to the point of masturbation and orgasm. I was exposed to this type of content during my early teens, and I didn't know why I found it so attractive to watch. I actually didn't learn to masturbate until I was 22, but since then I've found it to be a destructive habit.

    I love to write. As such I wrote quite a few fan fiction stories involving the kinks I mentioned above (for a long time I've been writing fetish stories, but actually didn't start publishing them on the Internet until August of 2016). I also learned to make animations and posters via 3D animation software, which also included fetish content. Both my writing and posters became so popular that I decided to take requests. Not going to lie, a lot of the writing requests I got were even more strange than the ones I was writing at the time - I got requests for things like scat, diapers, lesbians, breastfeeding, weight gain, anal vore, unbirth, and some other kinks that I'm probably forgetting to mention. I'm not even into these kinks but I wrote them for the sake of appeasement. Still, the praise I received kept me going.

    A little over a month ago I finally decided to stop writing/making that kind of stuff. I stopped taking requests altogether. Haven't written anything since. So now all I'm dealing with is the resistance to look at and masturbate to kinky videos, pics, stories, etc. Obviously, like most everyone else who has registered to this site, the tendency to resist is quite difficult. I know it's affecting my relationships with friends and family, giving me an imbalanced view of women, and is overall an unhealthy habit to get into, just like alcoholism. So after doing a quick search on the Internet for "porn addiction," I stumbled onto an article from Wikipedia and noticed that it mentioned this site. I visited it and I'm glad I did. It's a relief to know thousands, if not more are also going through the same struggle and there's help available. Awesome.

    So I'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks. I've been treated by an NAET practitioner a few times (this I recommend for anyone going through porn addiction, I would be providing a link but currently can't because of being a new user), but obviously it's still a struggle. I've relapsed several times, never being able to go longer than a week, but I'm hoping and praying the methods contained in this site will change that. A few friends of mine have actually suggested I replace my smartphone with a flip phone. I ordered one by mail, now all I need to do is switch the number from my smartphone to that. Still weighing it into consideration, though, because 1) I still have my tablet and PC through which I can relapse and 2) there's a lot of things a smartphone can do over a flip phone that aren't as harmful as porn - such as being able to listen to music while at work - that aren't essential for survival but would be nice things to have. In the meantime, I will keep both my phone and tablet in a separate room when I'm in my own. I'm trying to fill up my time/keep my mind preoccupied with video games, hopefully I'll get to the piano eventually. That's an instrument I've always wanted to play. Otherwise, thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Macrophile here, too. Welcome to the community. You will find great advice and support on these forums. Not too many folks around here with the same fetish, but there are some of us. I even took my turn at writing a few GTS stories over the years.

    When you say "While I wouldn't exactly consider these as "porn," it does stimulate me to the point of masturbation and orgasm", I would disagree. Fetish material such as photo shopped pics, videos, and even stories are all forms of porn.

    One of the things that was helpful for me and may be helpful for you was learning about whether my fetishes are natural or conditioned. That will greatly affect whether they will fade with abstention. Although I am still trying to sort things out mentally, I can remember fascination with giantesses, feet, and hosiery well back to childhood (near first grade). You mention that you started writing about giantesses in your teens. Can you remember fascination with size earlier in your life? A cartoon perhaps? A movie?

    If your fetishes are indeed conditioned, they should simply fade after a moderate abstention. Conditioned fetishes are trickier, though, according to what I've read and experienced. At first I was discouraged and thought that this means I will never be able to live a normal sex life, but fortunately I don't think it's that black-and-white. While I am still working through this, I can say that more "vanilla" desires started to grow as my hard reboot progressed (with some stumbling along the road). A few weeks in, I had flashes of vanilla sex fantasy with random women I interacted with (which NEVER happened during adolescence and complete indulgence in the giantess fantasy). After that, I had sex a few times with my partner (although still not completely satisfactory) and despite a relapse here and there, nowadays I find my mind more "crowded" - the fetish desires are still there (and will likely always be there), but there's sharing mental/fantasy space with vanilla desires.

    Anyway, those are some thoughts off the top of my head. I would be happy to engage in further conversation as one of the few other macrophiles around here.

    Thanks for the response. So, I should probably preface this by saying this is a pretty detailed post, so I advise caution while reading.

    Pretty sure it was Super Smash Bros. that started it. I was just a kid when Melee was out and my older brothers got it as a gift. I played it myself and found the Super Mushroom to be fascinating (which, in case you're not aware, causes the character on-screen to grow physically in size). Then came along Zelda: Majora's Mask that was playable on GameCube with a couple of other Zelda games. No, I'm not gay but watching Link grow in size at the boss fight in the fourth dungeon with the Giant's Mask became an obsession.

    Then there was Smash Bros. Brawl. Oh, man. The "mushroom stacker" cheat code, by means of hacking the Wii. Watching Zelda grow infinitely bigger and bigger on screen by means of mushrooms until the Wii froze. It got me so hard, but again since this was in my early teens I had no idea why it was turning me on. Then I started watching videos on YouTube, things like MMD animations and real-life actresses.

    Then Overwatch. That was the pinnacle. Don't even get me started on the females in that game. That's when the writing started.

    That being said, I guess I could say my fetishes are more so on the natural side. I know in time though, that if I try hard enough those desires will become less of a priority and I will focus more on the "normal," less degrading things.

    On a side note, is there any way to update my tracker? I relapsed today.

    No worries about the detailed nature of your post - it's helpful (both for you and for us) to be detailed. Reaching deep back into your experiences can be very helpful in working with your fetishes.

    Your experience with SSB doesn't surprise me. I recall having similar reactions to the original mario kart (SNES, I'm old school I guess!) with the lightning bolt. I know the Majora's Mask reference too. It's not uncommon for us to have been originally fascinated by size alone and transition to the giantess stuff as we matured. I can remember being fascinated by godzilla and jack and the beanstalk as a kid, leading to obsession with giantesses and shrinking.

    I also wouldn't call these things degrading. I think it only becomes a problem when an impossible fetish like GTS is needed to perform with a partner. Some folks are able to incorporate their fetishes into the bedroom with a willing partner that (ideally) shares these interests, but if they become a barrier to performance and inability to satisfy your partner, then long term abstention will likely be necessary.

    Just some thoughts off the top of my head.
