    Hello,

    in my opinion it's not bad fantasicing about sex since it comes from your sexual desire and your sexual desire is something very normal. Don't feel guilty about it.

    You should rather ask yourself whether this is something that contributes to your personal goals. If so, keep doing it. If you find it an obstacle, get rid of it, but don't feel guilty about it because this will strongly enhance the probability of a relapse. Same thing is for porn, in my opinion.

    I don't quit porn anymore because I feel guilty and bad about it but because it doesn't fit to my personal goals. And this makes it really much easier to quit.

    Don't demonize it, accept it and make a free choice that fits to your personal goals.

    Everyone does.
    But if its with a lets say a stranger on the street that would be objectifying and its just bad.
    Also if you do it non- stop it cant be a good thing
    But lets say u do it about your beloved one cuz you miss her/his touch it shouldnt be a problem

    It is not bad to think about sex.

    The question is what to do about it.

    A desire for sex will pass with time. You do not have to watch porn, masturbate of actually have sex for the desire to pass.

    There is a difference between sex and and thirst & hunger. We can become unhealthy or even die if we do not listen to our bodies telling us to eat and drink. No such consequences if we do not have sex when our bodies desire it.

    This is just me, well all my mentors too :). I think addiction is beyond the whole good/bad thing. It's important for be to remind myself I am a sick person trying to get well rather than a bad person trying to get good because shame is the core of my addiction. The addictive cycle runs like this: I feel bad, I don't like that feeling so I use pm+ to "feel better" and I do feel pleased and distracted but then I have two problems one is the thing I was running from is still there and the second is I feel bad for doing something "bad." So guess what I do? I feel twice as bad so I need to act out twice :)
    There's an answer to the riddle, a way to get off the nightmare merry go round. Things like acceptance, humility, finding someone who knows and asking what to do then doing it, these are the things I did, slowly painfully begrudgingly sometimes seemingly against my will. But it worked, haven't had to pm+ for 2487 days due to continally transmuting my will power into that self-escaping practice.

    Oh, I forgot something important. I try to pay attention to whether constant thought of sex is occurring to me or if I am deliberatly thinking about sex, there's a difference. If I were fantasizing on purpose I think I'm participating in the addictive process and likely will do so more and more such as pm+. Plus it didn't feel very good, wanting sex is inherently uncomfortable until I have a sexual experience and then the wanting starts up again sooner than later and for be often stronger than before I had some form of selfish sex. But if it's just that sexual thoughts are coming up in my addicted brain I'm pretty sure that's no problem to be fought, just a natural product of being an addict. Probably had a lot to do with all the times I fantasized, watched porn, reinterpreted normal things to be about sex, etc. I've found that every year without pm+ that noise gets a bit quieter.
