Prostitution - does a reboot help me?

Hi,

i am new here on this site and pretty excited about this. I have no idea how 90 days without any O should be possible, but i will give it a try sometimes. Right now i started with the 7 days challenge and will see, how it will work.

In relation to the problematic sexual behavior: I am 42 years old. Since i was 17 i was costumer of several prostitutes. In the beginning a had bad feelings about it, but today for me this feels normal - i am enjoying it, even if i know it is wrong. There is no doubt: i am addicted - not to porn at all, but to prostitution.

The main fokus of this site is porn addiction. I am thinking, some kind of therapy would be a good thing. Despite of that my doubt is, if the reboot will help me getting off this or at least get better to control it. I am aware of that the reason for this addiction needs some action.

Just to clarify: i am enjoying porn once in a while, but i am not even close to addicted to it. I am not sure if i am addicted to masturbation, but i am sure i am addicted to consuming prostitutes.

Some ideas about if the reboot would help me?

 

Thank you - my hope is, that this concept will help me out of this. It is my 2. day and i am already having a hard time though..

 

I actually have no problems meeting women for a relationship or just sex. I had. I suffered of social anxiety untill i was 30, which i think is the main reason for this (not that i don't see the responsibility with myself though). The first step for me is to do the NO MPO thing for a week or even longer. Never tried that before and right now i don't know if it is possible. And my hope is, that it will change something inside me.
Thank you for your answer.

 

Thank you very much! I know that feel, the dissapointment with myself. But i stopped beeing dissapointed. Somehow i tried to accept that i am doing this, so i can live with my self. It worked pretty well, to be honest.. But i wanna stop, because it is wrong and because i want to get out of the financial trouble.

 

Yes i do. I did it the last 24 years. At least twice a month, often more.

 

My income is good, but i am not rich. In my country the average price would be round about 150 dollars. Depends on what nationality the girl has. The price is for 30 minutes.

 

So you are saying, the NoFap is part of the problem for you, or do i read your text wrong? I hope to achieve more selfdiscipline and focus on other things then sex. I actually feel like it starts already. I didn't touch my Tinder very much since i started yesterday, which also was kind of obsessive before..

 

Well, that is one of the reasons, or the main reason, why i need to do something about it..

 

Well it is a very irrational proces. I deal with the same thing. I know all the answers, but it is difficult to change it. Don't judge yourself, but look forward. I do this. We can not change the past, but we can change how we behave now. I am trying to do this with the No PMO now. Maybe it is the way forward.

We are sitting in the same boat (as we say here, i don't know if people are sitting in boats somewhere else
