    Do we really have a well organized blueprint to rise above the deranged fetishes and sadomasochist tendencies?
    Anyone who has some knowledge is welcome to share their experience.

    We know how they come to be. Our innate desire for novelty and tolerance for vanilla stuff leads us to explore and adjust to extremes. This paves a neurological pathway in the brain, from trigger to addictive behaviour (e.g. sadomasochist content/ fantasy).
    Although this neurological pathway (and therefor tendency) will always remain, it can be weakened (neuroplasticity). Rising above is definitely possible. Breaking away from the addictive behaviour has to be done very consciously. When coming across a trigger and you get a desire to indulge in your fetish. You need to BREAK THE PATTERN by doing something else e.g. push ups. The more you succeed in breaking the pattern the more your brain will rewire. By doing this more and more your control will increase and you will be able to rise above the deranged fetish.
     
  3. Maybe yes, maybe not, it depends the way you developed that fetish. If it was induced by pornography, you can get rid of, otherwise you can control it and make it works as natural as possible
