How you get rid of a fetish.

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by CasualMe95, Sep 8, 2014.

  1. There are 3 ways to get rid of a fetish.

    1. Cognitive behavior therapy - focusing on turning automatic thoughts that affect the mood and behavior in a patient. The more aware of the automatic thought pattern a patient is the easier he/ she has to avoid getting into that thinking pattern and eliminate those thoughts that leads to fetish related thoughts.

    2. Psychoanalysis - getting out and meet other humans, start with projects, live outside the computer and generally just being more social.

    3. Avoiding fetish related activity - staying away from any kind tho fetish related thought pattern, don't go to sites or places where there are fetish related triggers, start meditation that will lead you away from sexual thoughts.

    I think if you give it time enough, it fades or goes away over time .
    Even if it doesn't, it doesn't necessarily matter unless you actively engage in that fetish, right?
     
  4. No I think it will get harder but you're absolutely right. As sexualized as our society is today and its only getting more theres no possible way of staying completely away from your fetishes.

    For example, I can't stay away from the gym only because there a change I see some fit/ athletic women there. And I need the gym, I need to workout. I'm not gonna stop doing that only because it is partly fetish related.
    Obviously there are things and places you might wanna try to avoid because it could lead to some serious triggers but other than that. You gonna live man!

    And as you say, you dont need to actively engage is your fetishes. Thats a whole different thing!
    But you cant stop live only because you're afraid of your triggers. Actually the more you live the more used to them you will get and the better you will be able to handle them. That doesn't mean engaging in them everytime your out and see something triggering.
     
  5. And no. As fetishes isn't sexual related you can disconnect the two simply by stopping your behavior.
    We have made then sexually connected because we have used them when we have been fapping. But they aren't related, really.
    Above I said how you got rid of your sexual fetishes but disconnecting fetishes from orgasm I think is more crucial than stopping the whole progress.

    The reason I found this website was through a book called Timinology, whose author, Tim Leach, deals with trying to relieve a client's fetish for cross dressing. I, myself, have a fetish for being tied up and so through using this guys techniques I most definitely have it under control. I own it now, rather than it owing me, which is what he tells you how to achieve. The Chapter is called self-control so do find a copy if you want to free yourself!
