7 months reboot... decided to not seek or hide from P

[victor0258]

Hi, I'm 7 months into reboot... I have fixed my severe erectyle dysfunction and depression but I have devellopped a strong P phobia (anything related to P starts panick attacks). To fix this problem, I have decided to not hide from soft P anymore (neither seek it). What I mean by this is not always being alert at avoiding P (hiding youtube recommended videos, hiding google image, not going into art museums or movie theater). For example, I listenned to a 1 hour classical music video that containned for one song an artistic painting of undressed women in a lake (I knew it). When the picture arrived, I hide it with a hand and just advanced the music video (instead of closing the page and starting to panick about reset). Did I take the right decision?

First off, congratulations on making it this far. Now about your question...

To be honest, uh... I'd rather be afraid of porn than addicted to it. ( ey, good question for the Would You Rather thread ) I'm not going to lie, that's a rather strange problem you have. I say as long as you're not looking at it a lot and you feel that you're better off without it, it doesn't matter if you're afraid of it.

Hopefully, this doesn't translate into a fear of women and sex. That would be problematic.

Hi no but I can't walk into downtown (because of clothes shops) or even look up in the metro (because of the publicities) and if I fall on soft P/triggers I start having panick attacks. I agree with you that's its better to have a P phobia than P addiction but I have a hard time doing normal activities because soft P is everywhere.

Geez, it's that bad? Well... I don't really believe in this, but you could try talking to a therapist. Sorry, man, I don't know what to tell you.

I know , they told me to not seek for P because of my previous addiction but not run from P triggers that are everywhere because its only gonna make my reaction worse when I do fall on it. +If I fall on it by accident I start to obsess with reset and be afraid if my PIED will come back so it gives me P thoughts which is not good either.
