    Hi, I see that a lot of people here struggle with unwanted porn induced fetishes and fantasies, so I want to share a great technique to boost your reboot.

    „Psychiatrist Jeffrey Schwartz uses a version of this technique with great success to help OCD (obsessive-compulsive) patients modify the brain wiring that causes unwanted associations to trigger “required” actions. Each time an unwanted impulse arises, the patient turns his attention to some other, pre-chosen, constructive activity. Gradually, “neurons that fire apart, wire apart.” That is, nerve cell connections weaken as activity in the key synapses declines.“

    When these thoughts/fantasies pop up, you get anxious and start analyzing them (for example checking if the thoughts arouse you when you have OCD), you 1. prevent your reboot and 2. you risk a relapse.

    As soon as these thoughts/fantasies pop up block these thoughts/fantasies at the beginning with the technique which I showed you.
    This will 1. allow your reboot to continue and prevent a relapse or prevent that you come close to a relapse and 2. it will also boost your reboot, especially it will boost to unwire these fantasies and kick them out of your brain.

    You decide who you are and who you want to be. Stop relapsing and choose the way you want to go to be the person who you want to be.

    So you’re saying to draw or do a puzzle or something when you get an urge?
