Porn vs Fetishes.

I do tell myself that fapping to fetishes online that is non nudity and got absolutely nothing to do with porn is ok/ not harmful. Is that just me telling myself or is it really true?.
Does it hurt equally as much fapping to fetishes as it does when done to porn?

Or can I keep fapping to fetishes without risking ED or does that comply to both porn and fetishes?

 

Fetishes are still linked to dopamine, right? It's not porn in itself but it becomes your own kind of porn.

I can watch vids of guys shaving, or watch fashion and concert videos, for everyone else it's perfectly uninteresting and not unhealthy and all, but for me I know that it's linked to what arouse me. I watch these stuff because it's good. It's like mentally masturbating. And as it's a FETISH, I consider it to be sexual. It's sexual for me, so I believe that it has the same effect on dopamine.

But I agree with Peaceful Warrior, try to get off of it two weeks and see. In my own experience, I can't stay two weeks off of YouTube, and today I watched some concert videos and went veeeery close to a relapse. I don't want this to happen to you!

 

A whole lot more empowered when fapping to fetishes than to porn yes. Porn feels kinda pointless.
I believe I can. My current goal is to try to stop the habit of fapping at my computer.
But 2 weeks, thats a pretty large challenge in itself.
But I really do not know. Only tried to fap without any pictures or videos 2 or 3 times.

 

Ok, thank you for your words and your opinion. It is true what you say. It is not technically porn but it gets me sexually aroused so it is my own kind of porn. I just wonder if it will lead to ED or I can watch it like I watch a documentary or whatever.

 

Sorry, I definitely can't help you on ED haha I wish! Have a great day man, stay strong, happy to have helped a tiny bit!

 

No, its because I need to be able to control my urges better. Thats what my relapses are all about. I can fap without both porn and fetishes, I'm just not so used to it.

 

I had these fetishes long before I got into porn. They were my first interaction with my sexuality.

 

It is a bit difficult to contribute to this because it is so abstract. What are these fetishes?

 

No I dont see them as a problem and I've had them (the same once) for as long as I can remember. They haven't changed since I first felt them and I've had then since long before I even started Fapping. And porn came years after I first started fapping. I actually started fapping to these fetishes.

Yea I believe too that if I learn to control them online then it will be easier to control them in real life aswell.

 

Fitness women, women at the gym, that is in great physical shape. Not Female bodybuilder kind of thing but more like well defined.

 

Yea they sure are. But I dont know. Since its linked to sexual urges and fapping then it might be a obstacle. But what I understand from you is that it is ok to watch it as long as I dont fap to it. Then the sexual connection disappears.

 

I can't completely avoid it because I spend 3 days of the week at the gym and run 1-2 times a week so I will see some girls. But I can do what I can do avoid watching it online. Otherwise I kinda like to watch girls workout online because its more interesting to watch a female complete an exercise than it is watching a guy.
Absolutely true!
