My way through sissy hell and 50 days of freedom

Discussion in 'Success Stories' started by Foxhole, May 10, 2018.

  1. I'm addicted to cuckold porn. It's similar to your kink. I'm going to leave it forever and improve myself.

    Wish you all the best brother. In some way cuckold porn is pure essence of everything whats wrong with porn addiction.
    Be strong and get rid off it.

    Hey brother read your first post here and the last post about you relapsing. I'm happy about the incredible progress you made. I went through something similar. I went on for 1+ year without MO. Then I relapsed once and it kept happening over and over again until I was back to my old habit of masturbating 3 times a day.

    I realized, I relapsed in the first place bcz my reboot wasn't clean. I watched porn a lot, and edged a lot. My kink is watching transwoman porn. Normal girls don't do it for me. Therefore, I'm trying Mind Mode now. Abstaining from sexual thoughts. I get no sexual thoughts about normal women anyway. Just the porn stuff and fantasies. So within 10 seconds of getting the thought, I push it away. It's been going well for 1 week. Because before any relapse, it starts with the mind/thoughts. And it won't be a full reboot of neural pathways if I keep strengthening the pathways with repeated sexual fantasies/porn.

    However, I will have to see how this holds up when I get really strong urges in week 2-3.

    Hey, thanks for encouragement, great to see you again!

    Hey, thanks for your message!
    IMHO if you want to fully recover but for any reason decide to not to abstain completely from PMO, you always have to cut numbers from right to left.
    You can abstain from porn and masturbation, but still O with a partner.
    If you made some progress, you might even masturbate without using porn.
    But I think it doesn't work the otherway. Watching porn and edging without O? Nope, that won't help you get better.

    I love the concept of Mind mode. Totally agree. It's much easier and also heathier cut the urge the moment it emerges as a thought. Every minute you spend fantasizing just bring you closer to relapse and failure.

    I am sure, you'll be alright - at week 2-3, and also later and earlier. I personaly didn't observe any stronger urges at week 2 or any other period of time. I treat every day as a new start and I don't think there's a use in worrying about future. Just wake up every morning with determination to abstain and you'll be good.


    Thank you all for help and support. Today is another day of my journey and I will stay sober.

    It sounds like you are still suffering a lot with the ideology of being a "sissy". No human in this world is anything but what they believe they are.

    Imho I feel like your first step is not to abstain from porn. I know it feels natural since there is an internal feeling of knowing porn is wrong. However, abstaining from porn doesn't necessarily mean you are attacking the problem.

    Understand why you need this porn first. I invite you to read my post which might be of help since I was in a similar situation.

    Once you separate the problem with your ideology from porn. Porn is easy (and fun) to quit.

    Hey thank you for your comment and especially for the post you wrote. I completely understand what are you saying and agree with it 100 %.
    It's still challenging to me tho. I went through my past during countless psychotherapies and I am an perfect example of what you mentioned. I was bullied through both elementary and high school, my parents were divorced, my step-father belittled me while I felt I had no suppport from other family members and even later at wok-life I sufferd from an imposter syndrome a lot. I never was really athletic and I avoid sports, being more of a bookworm and geek. I wasn't particularly unsuccessful with girls, but I never was and alpha male and I sufferd from an imposter syndrome at this area as well... Often I had this crazy idea, that someone definitely have to pay my girlfriend to be with me.

    I changed a lot. I started to sport more, I am successful at my job, I am happily married... But especially when I am tired or facing some challenges... It's so easy to slide back to the old habits. Be that passive, recieving sissy... It's definitely much easier to resist it, but it's still a constant battle. And while I yield just a little I fall back to it before I know...

    You know what I hate the most about porn addiction? How it ruins the most important things in your life.

    I am happily married and in it works all great in terms of intimacy. And I enjoy it a lot. There's nothing better than having sex with my spouse. No porn can beat that.

    BUT! Almost everytime I get horny, the first thing that pops in my head is not my wife. No, it's some fetish stuff, its some character from cartoon porn, its some sextoy I want to try. Through the years of my PMOing my brain rewired to that kind of stuff and it constantly pops in my head.

    I barely spend any time thinking of sexy stuff with my wife. I rarely plan those, usually its something that just happen. But I wasted thousands of hours fantasizing about fetishes and kinks, planning my "wanking sessions". Sometimes I can't wait till my wife leaves and I have a house for myself.

    And that's what I hate the most. I love my wife, I want to spend time with her, but my sick brain wants the exact opposite. That's wrong.

    That's good. You built yourself up and i assume have or made potential for a family. You seem like you have purpose and it's clear that this ideology is getting in the way. I'm curious, what is your opinion on fantasy and things that are unnatural? For example, the cartoon porn you mentioned or the sex toy you fantasised about. Strip them down to what they actually are - the cartoon is nothing else but pixels or art that was made by another man. The toy is a piece of plastic or rubber. (I know i'm stating the obvious here but it makes it a lot less appealing right? But... again, it's truly what it is) Sure, your brain may have gotten very used to these unnatural things taking up your thoughts before anything else. But with time, you can rewire your brain. By holding the thought in your head, and taking it for what it actually is - An impulse that holds no power over you or forces you to do anything. There is no battle.

    When you say "A constant battle" . YOU are making it a battle and in doing so, are not believing in yourself to change. It's possible you already know this, and like you said, it gets you when you are at your worst. So the main thing in my opinion is always reminding yourself through mindfulness and keeping a close watch on yourself. Master your thoughts, even when in stressful situations. You are immovable if you believe.

    Your brain may have gotten used to the normal stimulus that it's not working for you anymore. You need something different/kinky/an extra normal stimulus to get the dopamine flowing. Your brain must be desensitized to normal dopamine stimulus. Rebooting/rewiring is the solution I can think of.

    Thank you guys. Just reading your answers helps me a lot. I already feel the urges getting weaker and weaker. This morning was harsh and just 2 minutes ago I struggled a lot not to peek at some stuff. But it's better now. I still can't plausibly convince myself to never get back to this shit, but I can stay away from it today.
    Thank you, man. It's funny. I vividly remember the times I was there. The times I was master of my thoughts and just felt genuinely happy and freed from all that bullshit. But at some point I gave up and let myself slip back into this swamp.

    It's a great point of view and you're definitely right. It's always up to us to give meaning to stuff... It's our brains that decides whether something is pieco of plastic or mating partner... But it's my brain what's broken... When I think of it, I must agree and disagree with you original point, both at once. Abstinence alone does not work, unless you're willing to change your mind and reframe your self-image. But on the other hand it might need some time in sobriety in order to clear your mind of stuff that might distort your mind... I will keep your advices in mind, but I think that right now i just need to persevere until I'll be able to rethink my situation completely and honestly.

    Yeah. You're right. I KNOW for sure, that all this stuff just lose it's power once I keep away from them long enough. But right now I am just at the start and it's freakin hard to resist. But it's strange kind of hard. It's not like lifting weights hard. It's like lifting a piece of paper you just don't want to lift. Or maybe better: not reading some secret thats on the other side of the paper. You don't have to do anything to achieve this goal - just leave the paper alone... You don't have to fight anything from outside - you have to fight yourself...

    The one thing that has helped me most so far with this is mind mode. I change my mind within 10 seconds of getting thoughts. Ofcourse you have to find things to keep yourself busy to change your mind to. I just started it so will have to see how it performs. Still waiting for that atom bomb of an urge to hit me before the 1 month mark.
