This is an issue for me. Talking about what I've done sexually gets me really turned on. It's not porn but it's just as bed. Idk why I do this. I'm just constantly looking for arousal in whatever way I can. It's bad. Anyone else do this? How did you get away from it?
I would argue that thinking of your own past experiences is not nearly as bad as watching P.. What are your goals?
There’s a term for it. It’s called “euphoric recall”. in short, your brain is digging up its most arousing memories, so that it can feel arousal, so as far as the way it makes you feel, it’s not much different than looking at porn. These thoughts will keep you in the cycle of seeking arousal and dopamine hits. Being aware of what you are doing and why is one step closer to changing the behavior.
That’s Partly because of the deep interest you have developed in sex. Once you find something much more interesting and you divert your energy into it, your interest in sex shall diminish. Which may help you fight your addiction easier. So have Do you have something else in life that excites the heart out of you?
Not quite. It's tough to find something that tickles that biological feeling. I do have alot of interests im pursuing
I don't think it's about finding something to replace your sexual thoughts. It's about controlling them. You don't need to join a crusade, you can just own that you have had unhealthy sexual thinking. Define what it is, then decide to change it. This has been the best thing I have ever done. My coach helped me through this process of owning my thinking and then changing my thinking. The fact that you recognize that this is an issue is a good thing, it means you are ready to start working on it. It will take time and serious effect but it is a battle worth fighting.
Literally just now I was about to fall into that and I said to myself, outloud "Dont do it... Don't do It" and I stopped and immediately came here. Was a good step. If someone isn't around to tell you not to do something you have to do it yourself ♂️
Yes. This is called self-discipline. It takes a lot of practice and sometimes pain to get good at it.
