Could an "indulgence" therapy work?

I know that something like that works for cigarettes I've read. Participants were basically forced to smoke like let's say 60 cigarettes a day instead of their regular 20. After a while, it became so disgusting and "too much" of smoking that they voluntarily without difficulties decided to take a break from smoking for some days. For some participants, it was enough to be disgusted of smoking and they quit forever.

Could something like this work for PMO and fetishes?

Like you'd force yourself to watch P and MO as much as you can, or live out some fetishes like crossdressing so after a while it "becomes like nothing"? So in the end, you'd have the "energy" to quit for some weeks and eventually you may be able to break free if you use this "sexually exhausted and disgusted by PMO" time to build better habits in order to control that "urge-less state"?

In a nutshell what I mean: You PMO as much as you can so that you'd get disgusted by it, you use that feeling then to quit PMO for some weeks, during those weeks you build good habits to keep going for way longer and eventually break free

 

I actually wrote in the hope that someone will know of what study I'm talking about. I definitely know that this method has its own name but I cant remember it

And yes, it'd be stupid to use this for an addiction which could be fatal like alcohol or heroine

Anyway, my theory is that it could work with PMO because the longest streaks I was having were streaks which were motivated by me feeling disgusted and simply bored from PMO after doing it for too much for a while.

Maybe some of us must hit rock bottom before they can abandon PMO all together?

 

From my personal experiences, I would say that it probably would not work. Having tried to quit porn many times over the years, sometimes I would try the binge method as sort of a farewell to porn. The plan would be to watch as much porn and masterbate as much as possible in one day, to get it out of my system and be PMO free starting the next day. The next day I would be right back at it watching porn again, and sometimes more then I would normally have watched.

The only thing that has worked for me was to keep a journal and be brutally honest with myself in it. I would write how I felt before PMO and after, and this helped me identify the root cause for PMO. Once I had that information, I was able to create a plan for myself in order to identify urges and be able to deal with them in a constructive way. I personally believe, that is the only way to beat an addiction, identify the root cause and then come up with a plan.

 

My root cause for PMO? It's not really PMO, it's just the next best thing i can come up with to deal with it.

The root cause is simply my wish to achieve "the biggest orgasm ever" and as often as I can, just like I hate eating regular food but love junk food. I'm craving anything which will make my life more "intense" and "enjoyable", and because I'm not a multibillionaire who instead of sexual release can simply eat the fanciest of food or drive sports cars, the next best thing for me is to simply PMO (and when I move out and will earn my own money, PMO with sex toys, cross dressing,...)

So here you have it. I would not feel the need to PMO and in general sexual release, if I could instead eat only junk food everyday, while driving sports cars for example

And why do I feel this need to "intensify" my life? Because we only have one!

 

My cross dressing fetish is natural (unfortunately?), ever since I literally hit puberty I started to wear my mom's knee high nylons socks and her flats when I was home alone. I just stopped because I grew too big and I accidentally ripped one of her pantyhose

It was WAY before I started watching P, the only "P" I was watching then were women showing her nylon feet on YouTube. I mean, I didn't know what "sissy" is until like 2 years ago maybe

 

Listen. I was 10. Saw a girl in my class wearing nylon pantyhose. Thought "that looks nice". Found later some of my mom's nylon knee socks. Tried them on, and I liked it. It is as natural of a fetish as it can be for me. At the same time, I wanted to watch women in pantyhose, so I searched on YouTube. Eventually, the best results came if I typed in simply "nylon feet". That's it.

I remember when I was 5 so waaaaaay before puberty I already liked nylon pantyhoses and wanted to become a motorcyclist as I thought that they were wearing pantyhoses. I even wanted to become a pantyhose seller like owning a pantyhose shop once "I grow up".

It is natural.

 

In this case, I understand "natural" as "not porn induced". Just like a homosexual person is homosexual "naturally" and not by HOCD.

As I said, I first liked nylon pantyhose and cross dressing, then came the porn

 

Didn't you get frustrated that you only PMOed to vanilla porn? Because I would, it's like choosing to eat a salad at McDonald's instead of a BigMac. But eat 10 BigMacs in a row and you wouldn't like to eat it for the next month
