    I've heard a lot about being able to reset my brain through rebooting, but I've also heard from fellow porn addicts that given my circumstances, it isn't. Some info on my case (triggers here):

    I started using porn at a young age, and by the time I was in late middle school, I was using chat rooms online to pretend to be women who were looking for sex. I think this got me off on the wrong foot from the get go, as I learned sex through the experience of roleplaying as the one receiving.

    Around the age of 17, my girlfriend cheated on me. I ended up leaving her, but I fetishized it, which was pretty much the only thing I would PMO to for a long time. Only more recently have I incorporated the interracial aspect. Since doing that, this has been almost everything I PMO to.

    I'm just concerned about the biological possibilities of being able to get rid of this fetish. Is it doable? I've been PMOing to cuckolding and interracial for years now, through the most sexually transformative years of my life... I'm concerned that there isn't really anything to "reboot" to, if you know what I mean?

    Please let me know your thoughts. I'm very concerned about this and would greatly value anyone's input.

    Hi JayMack. I will attempt to give some feedback. In short, yes it is doable. Just because your fetish is different from another fetish doesn't mean that you cannot overcome it. Someone who defeated their addiction, also has defeated their particular fetish. Don't delude yourself by believing the fetish to be solely biological, thus giving up on your own free will. You are here because this fetish does not coincide with your conscience, correct?

    If you keep reading a paragraph from a book over and over again, how easy is it to recall it? Perhaps the repetition has gained so much momentum that you recall it instinctively without any effort on your part. Now discontinue the reading and wait 3 months. See how that paragraph vanishes into the abyss. Your porn addiction has just gained momentum, but it will lose its magnitude if you stop pmo for long enough.

    My advice is meditation and asceticism (fasting, no entertainment, etc.). Exercise discipline whenever and wherever you can if you have the time. If you are in college like me then things can get tricky, as it is hard and probably not wise to follow this protocol just yet since career comes first. I hope this helps.
