    Hey together,

    I am on day 12 now. I watched a lot of P during the last 10-11 years (I am 25 now). It doesnt relly feel hard for me to stay abstinent, maybe because I am a lot stressed these days because of exams. The only problem I have is, that i get horny in the early mornings after waking up or in the evenings when im a little bit more relaxed than during the day. Should this h dissapear in time?

    So the reasen for this topic is, that I recognized something. I had a wet dream last night where I was a passive sub part to a dominant male. Also my thoughts the last days only included dominant men, not a single woman. Thats why im afraid a little bit. Did P make me gay or bi? Is this even possible? Or should that thoughts go away with time?
    I watched a lot of hard things the last years including feminization, sissy, betaization and cuckold. While I scrolled through the forum I became the feeling, that a lot of fapstronanauts also have/had this fetishes. So is there anyone who has experience with my problem and can give me an advise?

    Sorry for my non-perfect english skills.

    Have a nice day and thanks for your help.

    Dreams are often not what they appear to be.

    Ejaculation is a metaphorical release. Your dream could mean that you want be released from these things. You’re resisting, but it’s all pent up and...yeah.

    Just keep going. You get to choose who you want to be, keep going until your night-dreams and day-thoughts reflect what you dream and hope to be in your heart

    Everybody's different with some of these things - after you stay away from porn for a while, you may find that you feel the sissy / cuck stuff is quite repulsive. Or it may still be arousing to you and you simply have to exercise some restraint on your part.

    You're already in your reboot, so that's good. If you find you end up relapsing to MO, don't panic, it's ok - I'm one who believes masturbation is perfectly healthy, you just need to not watch porn, not think about porn, and if / when you masturbate, only think about normal sex with a girl via your imagination, and think about a normal girl in your life, not some beautiful porn star, also if you do start masturbating again, don't do it too often - once every 48-72 hours is fairly healthy in my book, but you need to figure out what works for you.

    Also try not to panic - it'll be ok - this is, thankfully, a problem that absolutely will go away in time - you've basically just overloaded your dopamine receptors and built up some unhealthy addictive pathways in your brain that are tied to your pleasure center, so the only way to break that is to dial back dopamine for a while so that your dopamine receptors will re-sensitize, and by staying away from the extreme porn you've been into, regular sex with a regular girl will gradually become more and more appealing.

    Some other advice I'd give is this - start working out. It's very healthy - you'll feel better about yourself and that helps with libido as well.

    I'd disagree with most on here saying it's all a product of porn. I think porn exposes you to many of your dormant sexual festishes but just because you find a dominant man having sex arousing doesn't mean you want to have sex with a dominant man just like a guy whos favorite porn is lesbian porn doesnt want to transition into a woman so he can experience it. Society tries to control our sexuality and porn makes it ok to explore but probably you will get much less excited by this fetish as your brain chemistry rewires
     
  7. Seeing as many totally lose these fetishes through a reboot I would beg to disagree.

    I think the best advice is to relax and don’t worry about it. Try rebooting and see what you end up liking after. You might be gay or bi. You might be influenced. We can’t knoe based on the information you gave us
     
  9. I've had the exact same problem for years... I feel repulsed by men in real life but my sexual fantasies have been about dominating males mostly.

    I don't know if it's denial or porn-induced (probably) but rest assured the overstimulation coming from porn can set up arousal pathways in your brain that are in essence based on A - novelty and B - shock/fear/risk. The more shocking porn content or your own thoughts/desires are sometimes, the more arousing they will be for you. So when after a couple of months or years on porn your brain desensitizes to fantasizing about straight sex and dominating women it will come up with something more shocking to avoid tolerance in your brain's limbic system. At that point it's not uncommon for straight men to start fantasizing about things like cuckold, transgenders and indeed, gay sex and other males. This is when your brain decides it wants to be the women it sees in porn, or something like that. The nastier the better sometimes, at least according to your brain's core.
    I know how confusing it can be. All of my wet dreams have been about women, not once in my life have I fallen in love with another man but am absolutely puzzled over my conscious desires involving dominating males.

    For now, you may want to read this article... You are definitely not the only one who has this specific concern. Hats off to you for your honesty and coming forward with your story on here. The taboo it involves means it takes a lot of courage to talk about it, in any case it's a good thing more men are opening up about it and it says a lot about the risks that are involved with pornography. You may also want to join the group recovery from sissy fetish if you feel otherwise straight.

    For what it's worth I'm considering myself bi for now, just to get some peace of mind. Obsessing definitely doesn't help. Whether they mean anything or not, it's better to just acknowledge the fantasies than it is to deny them. It is crucial however that we abstain from pornography in order to rewire whatever arousal pathways porn has set up in us. It must be said though that they probably can't be fully unwired, only weakened and you'll always have a weak spot for the same fetish. Why some of us have these fetishes is beyond me but sexuality is probably a spectrum and the more in the middle you are, the more likely you'll be to develop this specific one. As Gary Wilson says in the article in the link to truly figure it out you'll have to go back to basic and abstain from artificial stimulation. If like me you can't for the life of you imagine yourself kissing another guy and like it, you most likely are desensitized, overstimulated, rewired, whatever you want to call it. Pornography involves risks that only become apparent when you personally experience them, unfortunately once this is the case more often than not it will be too late to do something about it. You can't go back in time and warn yourself, but you can acknowledge the toxic effects of porn right now and decide to abstain. 10 years of serious addiction isn't going to be undone in months or even a year. I'm just over 1 year and the temptations are still very much related to what I used to see in porn.

    dont want to scare you or anything but i personally highly believe that P can make you gay and has made a lot of men gay already

    due to the numbed dopamine response to ladies and looking for other dopamine stimuli such as males ( new unseen material)

    it can FEEL like you are aroused by them,

    just my personal opinion

  12. Did porn make me Mathsexual? Help guys, like most out there I started porn at a young age and while it was normal at first, I slowly had to get further and further extreme. This lead me down a path of first just feet, then composition, then algebra (I know I should've stopped here), and finaly calculus. Anyways now even after 0.3 hours of nofap I still have huge urges for derivatives and limits. Has porn turned me mathsexual?!?! Serious question guys

    Haha
    Believe me I am not kidding
    Actually the stress induced in dreams lead to wet dreams
    So....in my dreams.....I have seen myself giving exam
    Then suddenly teacher announce.... only 5 minutes left
    And I have 9-10 questions left
    So this type of panic has lead me to wet dreams a number of times

    Well, first, the sexuality part is a tricky one. I mean it really depends on who you ask. A Eastern Orthodox Christian, a Zen Buddhist from Japan, modern psychoanalytic practitioner from The Britain Society, etc. They all have different theories about what sexuality is and what NORMAL sexuality is. The only thing OBVIOUS from biology is that the male and female genitalia match and are made for reproduction. Now, can porn change sexual desires? This, I think, from the many testimonials, is pretty obvious. How much? I do not know, but if someone starts watching rape porn when they are in real life pretty mellow, that you kind of know something is up. I mean, one explanation for these fetishes is that you have unconscious patterns you recognize and symbollically reenact. For example, the domninant male fantasy might mean you havehad had experiences of being bullied by other men, may even your father, and they resurface in this weird obsession. Traumas resurface in all kinds of stuff, from cancer tumors, to OCD, etc. I read an article about fetish development. Eroticism, which develops into mature sexuality, seems to exist even in infants, so any problems in the family does kind of affect the erotic function as well. Also it could mean that in your family your mother felt sexually dominated and you have internalised this feeling from her. I am not just making this up, children internalise the conscious and unconscious patterns of their primary caregiver and immediate family. That then becomes the basis for the subconcious.
