    Basically I have an over-dependence on a fetish, and I know I have left this problem a very long time before trying to solve.

    I am 28 and for years since I've been a teenager I have only masturbated and been turned on watching a very particular fetish porn. I literally haven't been into anything else because it does the job and never got bored of it and I can't remember the last time I was sexually aroused without it - it's been a thing for me since I was a youngster and I just concentrated on it like an idiot and didn't let normal sexual interests develop. I have been attracted to girls, had sex with them but can only really be properly stimulated if this fetish is involved, which it can easily be - it's not that dirty or weird or anything. My brain just loves it.

    As a side note and because I can be anonymous I may as well be honest, I struggle to maintain erections without actually touching it to keep it going - assuming this may stem from it always being in my hand when I'm watching porn. So I take the ED drug Viaga.. during sex to keep it going otherwise it goes floppy after literally seconds. I was a virgin until 22 so watching this fetish was really the only way my brain knew how to be aroused. I have had a couple of relationships - it didn't massively affect sex life but sex could only really happen with the drug which my partners were ok with. And it would usually have to involve this fetish otherwise it would be hard for me to get through. I also find it really hard to climax without fast hand motion.

    Anyway I am wondering if nofap can recondition my brain to find myself sexually aroused in ways which do not involve this fetish. At the moment it is the ONLY thing that will get me aroused. Also if it will start allowing me to climax more easily without the need to be touched or wanked.

    Honestly yes... You just need some time to not focus on the fetish in order to condition your brain back to less extreme preferences. I would give it a couple of months honestly withut giving into thoughts of the fetish.

    Is the right thing to do to try to completely forget about the fetish to like normal things? Or just stop watching it in the P and M sense but still can use it during normal sex? I mean if my brain loves it so much is it really likely that I can simply forget about it, its wired into my head like a foot fetish is for some people.

    I like to think in the way that "not fapping isn't going to magically resolve my problems, but it gives me more energy/time/motivation to tackle the problems in my life." I would recommend replacing the bad habit with a healthy habit. And most important: give it time.

    In my opinion it strongly depends on the fetish you have developed.
    Firstly, not watching it in the P and M sense is always good, because "porn=bad" for many reasons you can find on this forum.
    If it's toxic, full of misogyny or stuff like that, then I would recommend leaving it for good and never bring it up during sex. I think eventually it will fade away.
    I'd like to think that being turned on by something "kinky" that is maybe not the norm isn't inherently bad as long as your partner (!) is okay with it/enjoys it, too and it doesn't hurt your relationship.

    Just my 2 cents, hope it helped.

    Try monk mode. I cant find a reason to drop your fetish if you enjoy it unless its too dark or dirty or sex is based on that. However doing monk mode for some time (i suggest 40 days before trying sex again) can do wonders.

    What's monk mode?

    It's not dark or dirty at all but unfortunately sec does have to be based on it to get my properly aroused. I think I would struggle to drop it completely - but I also don't want it to be the only thing that gets me turned on anymore.

    Can I introduce normal sexual arousal instincts without completely trying to forget about my fetish?
