Keep relapsing and HOCD

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jun 4, 2020.

  1. I keep relapsing, I fail to do more than 6 days streaks since I began nofap (been a year on and off and tbh I feel like crap, I didn't manage to have long streaks without pmo, however I've never abandoned nofap and I keep trying) and well, now when I relapse I keep relapsing to s*xting with dudes, I know I'm not gay or bi but I seek this because I want some approval I guess, the feeling of being desired, even if it's not a woman.
    So I wanted to know if someone was experiencing or have been experiencing the same things as I do ? And how they managed to get out of this hell
    Thanks
    PS: I'm french, english is not my mother tongue so I'm sorry if I made any mistakes

    I'm in the same boat. Addicted to femdom and findom...have been trying to quit for 2 years. There has been progress at times but I haven't been able to stop the addiction or to quit looking for long. I think 2 weeks has been my longest streak.
     
  3. I’m in a similar situation but I go to role play chat rooms To chat with them, I’ve been relapsing every few days maybe a few weeks as of late.
    I had a good stretch of 4 months last year but since then I haven’t been able to make it more than 30 days

  4. Likewise, relapsed last night. But made peace with it today, and am back on NF and on a new challenge (14 days) #wewalktogether
     
  5. I never had hocd but it could help in this situation when you panic because of it to focus on the feeling in your stomach. Than continue focusing until the tensions, which are normal in anxiety or panic, go away.
    Maybe that can help
     
  6. Update: I'm on day 7 ( one of my best streak so far, I'm quite proud of myself) I take a cold shower everyday, started to workout again, meditate and learn self love and to treat myself like a friend, not an enemy, and also I think what has allowed me to be successful so far is to not fight the urges, don't push them, you have to admit they are there, see them, feel them and know they will be gone in 10 or 15 minutes, and you have to be dead set on not doing something you'll regret later.
    And, great news : my HOCD is gone ( for now at least )
    I blocked porn from my smartphone and my computers ( though I haven't needed them because I mainly use willpower to fight the urges )
    So yeah :) I'm happy right now and I hope I can say the same in 23 days !
     
  7. Don't let your guard down, I have done 1 month streaks and every time I let my guard down, I always relapse. I think for its a fear that I have, that I will completely change, so yeah I am afraid of success jaja. Also, the flatline outrights sucks, right now my dick is dead and I feel that I have no sex drive.

    i hope this will change soon, but keep up the good work, you can do it just develop new good habits and stay focused.

    Hey man,

    I hope you are doing well. I believe that, if you are sexually interacting with guys even though you know you aren't gay, it may be down to the chaser effect of porn. We are always chasing the next ''taboo''. Some people aren't attracted to big women but will find themselves watching BBW porn. Let the thoughts pass you, when your mind tells you ''you must be gay because you did this'' just let it pass, don't try to reason with it or question it, because that's how your OCD will develop.

    This is a cause of porn, your scale is way off and it's making you do things to get the new high. Cold turkey, no porn, no sexting, nothing. Best of luck to you buddy.
