Could an "indulgence" therapy work?

    But why, though? That sounds like you did that intentionally. I mean, I did similiar things but because I couldn't control myself. Why would you do that on purpose, I'm curious.

    I do that because the first stages of my recovery become a lot easier. I've gone through the act of masturbation so much it becomes disgusting. Masturbation is the key here - not the specific porn.
    And of course urges come back anyway during the later stages of recovery, no matter how you acted on Day 0 or before the streak. So the purpose is to make the beginning easier.

    And I Hate PMO, I have the same fetish. DM me if you want to talk about it.
     
  3. It's never worked for me. I've gone through periods where I'd masturbate 4 or 5 times a day and still keep going or I might stop for a week and then carry right on again.

    So if I understand you correctly, you jerk off as often as possible on Day 0 in order to be "tired of jerking off" for a lack of a better term? I never heard that before, but if it works...I can't imagine that for me though. I mean, I've done that too but not on purpose and it didn't really work for me.

    I mean bro we're all different, it's a matter of finding what works best. I didn't take all the advice about sissy porn on this forum earlier on for sure.

    Absolutely, a therapist will definitely help you get to the bottom of the root cause behind your porn use. And that will give you a big clue on how to fight it back.

    Instead of tweaking and testing things that don't work. If you can afford a therapist go for it bro, but just not to anyone. Look for the best ones.

  8. Another idea:

    Indulgence therapy, but not for PMO, but for fetishes.

    Maybe indulgence is the wrong word, "desensitization" is better.

    The idea: We have fetishes for certain things because we idolize them. So, by confronting those fetishes (in my case: crossdressing) we would become desensitized to them (in my case: after forcing myself to wear pantyhose for 2 weeks, I lose the appeal of them, and realize internally that they are normal clothes and nothing more)

    Any opinions?

    I mean, what do you think will happen if you endulge in your fetish for a while and then try to stop? First of all, do you think you can stop? Do you think you will not have the fetish anymore after that? I don't think that will work, unless you realize you don't actually like the fetish while endulging in it. I wouldn't count on that though.

    Now imagine, what would happen if you endulge for a while and realize you really, really like it? What then? I don't think that is a good idea. But that's just my two cents.
     
  10. Sure, the first hours maybe even days I'd really like it. But I can't imagine staying horny for 2 whole weeks all the time, at some point it must stop (at least after I've come for 8 times in a row) and wearing a pantyhose will just feel normal and nothing special. That's the idea behind that, so then after this experiment I'd be able to look at women wearing pantyhose whilst not envying them of being allowed to do that

    I still don't think it'll work. But try it, maybe it does.
