Findom?! This fucked up fetish is gonna ruin me

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by Keep_calm_stay_off_the_edge, Dec 20, 2018.

  1. Not sure if this is the right forum but I’m just gonna put this out there. Could really use a helping hand, a friend, an understanding soul to talk to, anything at this point

    Hey everyone from north of the border. Is anyone in this forum dealing with findom?? I’ve recently decided to try to find a support group or something as an outlet, my experiences are getting way too real! I’ve read a lot of sad stories about what can happen when this addiction gets out of control and am scared I'm going to be living that sooner than later.

    Always had a foot fetish growing up (which now seems so vanilla compared to some of the shit I’m watching and doing) Eventually found that I quite enjoy being submissive to hot bratty girls, saw bits about findom probably 4 years ago now and always hated the idea, thought it was tasteless and horrible of these ladies. As I slowly progressed with bratty girl Type foot porn the seed was planted. When I was still single started seeing escorts for their feet and I think that actually paying money for it was the start of some kind of demon. Progressed into more intense humiliation Type porn and started following findommes online then finally a couple years ago gave in and sessioned with one. Its just been getting more and more insane over the last year that I can’t handle it any more but I can’t stop it. I now have a beautiful girlfriend, a home, and a baby girl on the way. So much great to live for but have squandered away sooo much money to these women, skipping domme to domme to domme and spending on absolutely nothing for me. If I don’t stop I’m scared everything I’ve worked for in my life and relationship will be gone. Why can’t I stop?! I’ve got a daughter coming in 5 months for god sakes!

    Sorry for the long back up story but is anyone else going through or gone through these things? Any tips to help? Any words of advice or anything would be greatly appreciated

  2. You CAN stop. Your addicted brain wants you to think you can’t. For the sake of your family, stop all of it right now. You have no other choice. This stuff is poison.

    Your mind is confused for the fact you know you must stop something that gave you momentary pleasure. Focus on the great things you have accomplished until now, they will give you more joy than any kind of porn or escort.

    Meditate, exercise, nofap and any other wholesome use of your time. Just stay away from findom, the longer you stay away from it the more you will realise how pointless it is.

    The addiction/mistress/trigger or whatever wants you to think you are under its control, you like the feeling of being under control. The truth is that you chose to let things outside you to control you and you can choose for them to stop and regain control.

    I think you got demons thats need to get exorcised out of you, please go confess in the church in one of those private rooms or by yourself to god and get cleaned up spiritually, holy water, texts, god, and/or buddhism, its not just physical and mental, your in deep but you can get out.

    Brutally, think of a girlfriend and your baby. Is it possible that you will lose them when you still see those ladies? I believe you know the answer. Now think of it like a nightmare, but from that perspective you are now awake, there are no monsters, nothing happens.

    As a father I can tell you, that it is so wonderful to have a baby. Your GF needs you more than ever, especially after the birth. Prepare yourself for this time, when it comes you will have to be 120% man.

    Stay strong and motivated. I keep my fingers crossed for you and the rewiring process.

  7. Thanks for the words of wisdom everyone, very kind, this stuff is poison. I think part of it was a long process of denial. Thinking that I was just into feet and being dominated and paying for sessions when in reality was being entrapped deeper and deeper into this. The start for me is admitting as embarrassing as this one is that I have a problem and an addiction. Now that I know that I hope to equip myself with the tools and knowledge to put an end to this once and for all. Talking about it helps, ive joined a support group and gonna log a journal here. Hoping that texting daily about what helps me, what I find triggering and what i can do to stop it will end this.

    So this is day 1 of what I hope to be my new life! Found the day quite easy which was good, but this thing hits like a ton of bricks when it does hit. Have been able to stop for days, even at times a week or 2 but always get the most uncontrollable urges eventually do kinda just waiting for them to start. An odd thing with this addiction is I don’t experience the level of brain fog or depression that others have talked about with porn relapse, depending on what I’ve done I have often felt like shit the day I did it but next day seem to fade back into my normal self. Have to try to remember the awful feeling of giving up my money for absolutley nothing, maybe a few pics of feet and use that to fuel my fight. Gym tonight so that should be good for my mental :)
     
  8. Oh man hit the nail on the head, I know she needs me more than ever that’s why I gotta get better. As I get closer to meeting my daughter I just want more and more to get this shit out of my head. Gotta act like the man she sees me as and that my friends know, the man I know I am deep down inside not this pushover coward I am at times. Thanks for the words friend, thinking of the worst that can happen makes me sick. Can’t let it get that far

    What do you think of something like this:

    Try to make a list of doable goals. Something you can accomplish within a day, a week, two weeks, etc. Some things that in your understanding will make the difference in your life.

    I believe it is sometimes better to set the goals from the real life instead of making the nofap the ultimate goal.

    When you think of a candies, and that you are not supposed to eat them and that they are not healthy, then eventually you will eat them.

    When you focus on something different than the candies you will not think of them as frequently as before. And the paralysing feeling will slowly start to fade away.

    Stay strong and motivated!

    You need to seriously examine what is most important in your life (Girlfriend,
    Home and Baby on the way) and if you are okay with losing ALL of those things, because by the sounds of it you ARE going to lose all of that if you continue with this. Sorry if that’s blunt but it’s the truth and you need to hear it.
     
  11. Thanks for the new replies guys, not blunt at all and totally true. It goes through my head quite often, the closer I get to the day the baby comes home the better I seem to get. Hope it stays that way. I’ve deleted my twitter and all platforms I used to use for searching this kind of stuff.
    That’s a funny and good point by hardcandy makes saying that nofap shouldn’t be my ultimate goal here and it isn’t. I’m starting to realize that’s what’s got me into this position in the first place. This is actually my second time on this site, the first back in 2014 after I experienced pied and had a couple really bad experiences. Came on the site and decided I’d try to give up porn. It worked a bit but then still single at the time started to see escorts and pay for foot fetish and regular sexual experiences. Wanted to stay away from porn so bad that I fought urges or saw escorts. I’m at the point where when I get urges I think the best thing for me might be a quick video and get back on with my life. Not for everyone and I don’t want to offend anyone on this site that’s here to stop fapping but that’s just my mindset and goal :)

    Anyway day 2 was fairly uneventful but good. Super busy with Christmas stuff and the gym so not really any urges to redownload sites or visit escort pages. A small victory id say. On to the 3rd day of my new life
     
  12. This is my second time here too. After coming here 5 years ago, I got rid of my porn collection and cut down masturbation in a big way. After that I had a burning desire to live out the fantasies that I had been masturbating to. I picked up a few more kinks too, but I never went back to collecting porn or masturbating daily. Living out some of my fantasies was a stage I had to go through, and it is in a way more dangeroys than porn because I was acting out with real women, and being unfaithful in a more real way. I have found out through experience that there is no satisfaction to be foud in acting out fantasies either. Now I know.

  13. Oh man exact boat I put myself in. The kinks did begin to change and wanting to act on them became real. And I too found out there was no benefit in it for me. Every time I’ve acted out on something in real life with an escort I’ve immediately thought what a waste of money that was.

  14. Day 3 yesterday was another good one, busy day around the house, great friends popping by throughout the day and a party last night. Today on the other hand not so easy. Day 4 woke with a heavy hangover, and with my hangovers come huge cravings. Just got it out of my system fast and checked the emergency button and it helped me through the day. Also thinking of all the fucked up things I’ve done is a help as well. Merry Christmas too everyone here hope it’s a great one with friends and family

    I had to google what findom was. ;) Would your wife leave you if you told her? Couldn't you give her the money and thusly fulfill your kink whitout anyone getting hurt? Or am I getting it all wrong?

    I think you should keep a photo of your wife on you at all times and just look at that and realise how damn important it is, and the future of your child, a human being, who you will be able to proudly, shamelessly raise into a solid young person. Also your wife would like the gesture of you carrying around a photo of her I'm sure :D

    And I agree with the one above me, if you can't cure the findom for now (im sure you can with time, introspection, and therapy, if possible) try to be honest and have a good conversation with your wife and see if she can fulfill that kink.

    You've already taken the first steps and be proud, you're gonna get through this for sure.

    Start research the benefits of semen retention. This gives me something to hold one too. As a result of semen retention I don't watch porn or masturbate.

    By breaking this chain you also break the findom addiction as it is not something you want to see/do any more.

    It wont be easy but you've got to start somewhere.

    Hi,

    It’s been a minute since I posted here, but I sometimes find it helpful to see others have struggled like me.

    I’ve been dealing with findom addiction for many years. It’s a powerful and dangerous addiction, and in many ways unique. A skilled domme gets you addicted to destroying yourself. Pretty messed up!

    Here are some things I’ve discovered along the way that have helped me, and may help you:

    1. The truth is that a findom has no power over you that you don’t actually give her. This is role playing fantasy. A psychodrama. She intuits what she thinks you want , pretends to be that in order to take your money. You get addicted to the rush. In reality she’s a prostitute.

    2. It’s a bottomless pit. You will never be satisfied by this or any addiction. You end up needing it more to get a rush that’s decreasingly satisfying. Your addiction will try to trick you in to believing this is ok. It will tell you that you can be moderate, or that this is the last time. It lies. Believe me.

    3. There’s a reason you’re doing this. It’s meeting a need, besides the need to get off. Usually you’re avoiding something in your life: unpleasant feelings, dissatisfaction, etc. Go to a good therapist. I did. I used porn to deal with anxiety and depression. It really sucks for that because it only makes it worse. This is an enormous opportunity for growth and insight.

    4. Practice mindfulness meditation. Every day. Even 10 minutes.

    5. Excercise.

    6. Most importantly, be passionately involved with something in your life. A goal. A real woman. Have goals you care about and a daily to do list. On really bad days I knock off a few things from my wife’s honey do list.

    7. Give in to the process. The first month is going to suck, but it won’t kill you. Many people have overcome this. It’s vital that you know your triggers and formulate a plan on how to deal with cravings. For me, paying bills is a trigger. So I do this at a time and place that would make it difficult to relapse. On a park bench or in a coffee shop. When I have cravings I exercise or play the guitar. Or I ride out the craving with mindfulness. The only way to get rid of a habit, is to replace it with another one.

    8. Be compassionate to yourself. If you stumble, simply get up and keep moving. Nothing perpetuates addiction like self-hatred. You will learn from this.

    Good luck!
