    So guys I'm a 30 year old male, I have been diagnosed with a fetishized disorder where the urges of my fetish are so strong that if I see the item of the fetish on anyone I get strong arousal. This caused me to have HOCD for 4 years making me strongly believe that I was gay despite not being able to ejaculate to males. Since speaking to a psychologist and slowly trying to withdraw from this fetish I have of hands and feet with nicely done nails it's been very hard. I have had very strong sexual urges however I relapse after 3 days. During those three days I noticed my sexual drive towards women has increased and is much easier to masturbate to the thought of women. However while not focusing on my current hand and foot fetish my mind has all of a sudden drifted to the thought of cross dressing and been having very strong urges to do so. I have never had a history of this before and it's a first for me and is very odd.

    Due to these urges I attempted to wear women's clothing with heels and women's underwear on more than one occassion along with a full face of makeup to my interest I was actually quite disgusted by this. However one day I had really massive urgers and eventually now have been able to get off to the thoughts of wearing women's high heels, which I think is linking to my foot fetish.

    However what I want to ask is the following have I developed a fetish that I never knew about, or is it my mind playing tricks on me since I'm trying hard not to get off to my usual fetish

    Please help in massive distress

    Your brain will do weird things when youre trying to quit PMO.
    Mine has this little demon in my head, and hes a cagey little bastard who will trick me in ANY way to go back to PMO...
    it can and will do anything to keep the drug going (dopamine).
    So yes, you can delevelop *temporary* urges and new fetishes even, but DONT let your brain convince you to go back to PMO "to be more normal." Its just part of the trickery the inner addict brain plays!

    Staying off PMO and abstaining for a reboot will only help decrease fetishes. More PMO will not.
    Its the only way if you want to change.

    Okay that's very interesting indeed, cause the fetish for hands and feet is mainly getting mine done which is part of it, and now I have the urges to cross dress which is causing the dopamine rushes and crazy urges. As there is times where I try it and nothing happens but now it's more often than anything and will easily ejaculate when wearing heels and thinking about it. Which is something I've never had happen to me before

    So it's just part of my brain tricking me back into my foot fetish ???

    Okay but what I'm saying is now that I've tried stopping to this fetish of acrylic nails and painted nails etc, I have obtained a cross dressing fetish all of a sudden. For example if I read about it, dress up in heels, talk about it on random sites knowing it's a girl that's when the dopamine rushes have occured, this is something I've never had before and it's scary cause the first couple of times I attempted to masturbate to this stuff it didn't interest me then for some reason during the testing I all of a sudden was able to get off to these thoughts and it's only gotten stronger :(

    Which makes me think I've had a whole cross dressing fetish for heels my whole life and I've never noticed

    I have been in similiar situation. I have OCD because of the similiar fetish, that developed because I had made fapping a mundane part of my life, doing it almost daily. I didn't even notice how quickly everything went very, very wrong.
    But as someone who pondered deeply about our problems, I can assure your that the only thing fetishes can say is that it is time to stop it, stop porn and fapping. once and for all. You have sunk too deeply into that mudhole and there are two choices here: to sink even further and to become something you wouldn't like to be, but experience that sweet sweet dopamine poison, or to abandon it completely, suffer for some time, but then to be able to live like you want it, free from the chains of fapping. The choice is only yours, of course.

    I completely understand where you're coming from, when you attempted to stop wanking to your fetish, did your brain try and trick you into thinking you had other fetishes and getting stimulated by things you normally wouldn't find arousing cause that's whats going on with me. Example is wearing women's heels and wanking to that thought of having the heels on , which is something I've never experienced to be arousing before in my life
    Thanks
     
  7. Are you really going through withdrawal from your fetish if you are just whacking off to other fetishes. Sorry, but that is not going to heal you. (BTW, it's good to hear that you've been diagnosed.)

    If you M to things that disgust you, you'll eventually develop a fetish for those things. A normal response to disgust is to stop the activity that is causing the disgust. You are doing the opposite - continuing to do the disgusting activity and masturbating at the same time until you O. You probably don't feel so good about that and that shame will likely drive you to just MO again, either to the new fetish or the old fetish. It's called a shame spiral.

    The might be some value, maybe, in MOing to "normal" porn, "normal" fantasies, or maybe just anything that doesn't disgust you . . . maybe. I think there's more value in hard mode. At the very least, give up all porn. You are never going to heal from your original fetish by getting off to other fetishes. At best you'll replace one fetish with another. At worst, you'll just end up with more fetishes and you're original fetish will be more deeply engrained.

    Brain tries all sort of tricks to get dopamine. And since this fetish is not far from the original problem, I say it just wants you to get back to your most effective way to get sexual high. You will fap to heels, and at some point it won't be enough, you will return to where everything started. All fetishes grow weaker it time and demand more extreme things for you to do. You need to concentrate on abandoning fetishes, all of them, that is what I would have done in your place. The only fetish that can be healthy, is unconditional love between a man and a woman.

    I feel like the fetish of wearing heels and women's clothes links back to the original fetish of getting my nails done tbh and looking at picture of acrylic nails and feet. Hence why now all of a sudden I am randomly.getting stimulated by wearing heels etc, cause the first couple of times I tried I didn't find it arousing but me the idiot kept trying until I eventually got stimulated and it's only gotten deeper and deeper each time making the dopamine rushes quicker then before. So you are all saying just stop wanking to this type of stuff to eventually get over it considering it's not my actual fetish ?

    Yeah, that is what I am saying. Even if you are aroused by this fetish, it exists only as long as you are fapping. I had autogynephilia fetish, thought it was the part of me, although I was always afraid. Yeah, jerked off but was afraid of what I just did. Turns out it is not a part of me, just something I got from being hooked on porn for 12 years. Ever since I ditched my fetishes, stopped endulging them, I have zero thoughts of that sort.

    Yeah so I gotta stop endulging to the fetishes, although when I stop focusing on my own fetish other fetishes arise and I get real crazy stimulation, do I just ignore them completely or if I do masturbate it's to the imagination of a female ?
     
  12. If it comes down to masturbating to your fetish and masturbating to a non-fetish image of a woman, then the latter is the lesser of the two evils. BUT . . . it's much better to not masturbate at all. Do not just sit there and indulge your fantasy. Get busy doing something else, something that is not sexual. Call a friend or a family member, get some exercise, try meditation or watch a movie that is not about sex.

    I also struggled for years with the fetish of autogynephilia (and now I know that there's a name for it!!). Our fetishes may change over time but over time they just get worse if you don't try to stop them. Think of it as a wolf, you can either feed the wolf or starve the wolf. What are you doing when you masturbate to fetishes?

    These fetishes may be with you for the rest of your life. Not masturbating to them will be very hard at first, but it does get a little easier the more that you starve that wolf and the wolf will also become weaker over time rather than stronger.

    But what I'm asking you is the following, when you stopped indulging in your fetish, were you getting withdrawals and were getting urges and arousal to things that you've never been interested before due to your brain searching for more extreme things to get aroused from. As a result of trying to steer away from the fetish ?

    No, actually it is the opposite. The more you starve the fetish, the less intensive things will make you aroused. I used to fap to very destructive things, but right now seeing hot women walking down the street is enough to give me the rush my most degenerative fetishes never were capable of. Trust me, it works.
    You will feel like shit. You will see your fetishes in your dreams - that is your brain reminds you to treat yourself, because it sees it as something vital. Same things happen if you go to bed hungry - you will see food. The only exception is that you don't need your fetishes neither to survive nor to be happy and content with your life.

    But it didn't happen at the start either cause for the first week that I stopped indulging in the fetish the cross dressing withdrawals occured and that was the next thing I could fap too, but it was weird cause half the times I could do it and the other times it did nothing for me. So it was more so my mind play tricks.

    Also when you stopped did you sex drive increase drastically for women cause that's what happened to me and that was only 4 days with trying

    There is only one truth - either you cut your fetishes or they are going to cut you. Stop fapping at all, no fetishes, no naked women, no fantasizing. If you are fapping, whether to your fetish or to something 'normal', you are not doing it right and eventually your fetish WILL return no matter the object of your fapping.
    Yes, it is completely normal. I am flatlining now, women do fuck all for me. Keep in mind that only week ago I got raging boners just from their scent alone. This is what flatline is - no libido for some time. It will return, it always does. I have been in nofap for sometime now and I know what I am saying - no flatline is forever and libido always returns.

    Yeah that's so crazy, like I remember when I was younger I'd hug a girl and instant boner, like with my first girlfriend I'd hi early just see her car or be with her the whole day and be fully erected. Now times have changed and my.sex drive is cooked cause I've been trying to wank to cross dressers and gay makeup artists to test myself then switch to women, which has definately caused this issue.
    Put yes I must put a stop to this

    Also guys serious question, due to having the HOCD from my fetish, whenever I see a gay person on Instagram etc my thought will instantly go to either my nail fetish or females, like I could see a girl liked the post and then bam once I noticed the girl I'll get aroused, is that just hyper stimulation that's occuring from looking at guys then changing my thoughts to females.during masturbation ???.
