The Situation
I have finally decided to give Rebooting a go for at least 90 days. The problem is, I work in the pornographic software industry. Put simply, on a daily basis, I am expected to view fictional pornography and determine how it should be used and interacted with by our users, while writing explicit material in vivid detail from the role of both the character and the player character to accompany this imagery and render it interactive.
Symptoms
Frequent masturbation, for me, results with the following observed symptoms: Brain Fog, Anxiety, ED, Lack of Desire/Interest in Others, Desensitization, Trouble Focusing, and Depression
Having ADHD in a software/creative field, the brain fog and difficulty focusing or maintaining interest can be crippling. It's very easy to disappear into a vicious cycle of chasing natural cues.
Steps Taken
Currently, I use the following tools to manage my addiction or lessen exposure to cues:
My Question to You
Going forward, I'm planning on indefinitely suspending any masturbation so I can focus on my career, but I'm worried the exposure my job brings will make this more challenging for me compared to someone else. What are some other tools or strategies I could take in numbing myself to the cues present in my job in a sex positive environment, or staying on track?
