    Hey guys,

    New here. I’m interested in NoFap for the health benefits it supposedly has on energy levels and cognition. While it’s been relatively easy for me to stay away from porn sites and dating apps, I haven’t been able to get on social media without being easily “triggered”.

    I have a fetish/kink for a pretty benign article of clothing that is easily found on many photos. I’m not sure what it is about it, but when I see that in someone’s picture I immediately get aroused and tempted. While I have read that NoFap can attempt to remove a fetish, I am not necessarily looking to do that. My real question is how to stay on track with such an easily triggerable kink. I guess I could delete all social media, but also I see it all the time when I’m in public. Usually it was fapping on the regs that kept me satiated in public. Now I am afraid to go to the gym, bars, etc without seeing it and getting aroused.

    Hope this doesn’t sound too vague, but thanks for any advice/help!

    Sincerely,

    New Fapstronaut

    These sub categories addiction are absolutly toxic and dangerous, but if you really want to free yourself, this is your place. There is a lot of fetish addict here from what i have read.

    Hey R,

    I also struggle with a fetish. I'm hesitant to post publicly about it, but I'd be happy to DM if you are interested. Fetishes are particularly troubling because it makes it so much harder to get aroused with a woman when you have very specific preferences that have been entrenched into your brain from years of watching porn. I don't think I will honestly ever be rid of my fetish, but I want to minimize it to the point where I can engage in a normal sex life without having to engage my fetish fantasies.

    I think I was able to read between the lines and get the gist of what you are talking about. I might actually have the same fetish, to be honest but it is only one of many many many that I have. If you do want to share what the fetish is and you are concerned that it may be an issue to other members, you can place what you say inside a "spoiler" button. That can be initiated by dragging and highlighting whatever you want to hide and then clicking the + button at the top of the text window and then click on "Spoiler". You will then have the option to give your spoiler button a name. Alternatively, you can type what you want to hide like this:

    [SPOILER ]Type things to hide here[/SPOILER ] (without the spaces after the word SPOILER)

    And it will appear like this on your post:

    This is what it looks like

    I think we all have fetishes of some kind or the other. Many of my triggers are easily seen in pictures that are in no way sexual. I go to Walmart and it can be a very anxious experience for me because it seems like those clothes and those images are the standard uniform of shoppers there! But the thing is to have a distraction whenever those urges come to us. Since I would always wait until I got home to look at more triggers (usually outright porn or maybe triggers on YouTube, Instagram, etc) and then masturbate, I now jump on this messageboard and participate like I am doing right now. The distraction is key, I think. Something to deescalate the situation before it gets out of hand. Try learning a new language, taking up a musical instrument, or a new sport or hobby. Try different things until something appeals to you. Good luck!
