Evolving Addiction - High Risk Massage Parlor Activities

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by GeorgeJetson, Nov 19, 2022.

    Hello all. I am back on these forms giving it another shot. I've been a member here for a pretty long time now and have had numerous sex addiction struggles. My addiction started with porn, evolved to camming/mutual m, and finally to illicit massage parlors. As for the massage parlors, my activities started with low risk activities...but have since evolved to unsafe, high risk activities. It should be noted that I'm married with kids.

    I appreciate all types of encouragement from the members of this community. I also enjoy hearing the stories of hope. This is what really gives me the inspiration and motivation to work through my issues. However, in the past, I've received many counterproductive comments regarding high risk activities, safety, STIs, legal, and so on. For the record, I am FULLY aware of the risk of my behaviors. I am well versed in the health risks as well as the personal risks and the damage I can cause my family...so no need to lecture. I rather here about experience and hope.

    I plan to start back up with this community as it's always been an incredible place for support and encouragement.

    There is hope. I started meditating recently and found it to be helpful for me. Meditation with visualization of positive scenarios that involve all of the senses. It’s a way to trick your brain in thinking your having a real experience thus rewiring your neural pathway to the part of your subconscious that’s causing problems. It’s training your mind to think differently. I can tell you that I’m a major sex addict with sex fantasies 24/7. Can’t take it anymore because it’s making me feel disassociated with other people. Since I’ve started meditating I’m feeling more connected to others and don’t see woman as objects much anymore.

    Hope some of this helps. Stay strong, it’s possible to change. I’m proof of this.
     
  3. I used to go to massage parlors , I dont judge you. What helped me stop doing it a little over 14 yrs ago was my last time. After about 8 weeks after my last visit the local news in the area had a story on tv that said police had the place under observation for weeks. I didnt sleep for days thinking i would be getting into trouble . Thankfully nothing happened to me the massage parlor was closed and that was just the wake up call i needed to stop. Last time i drove in that area the building was torn down and is now a field .

    Thanks for sharing what helps. I also meditate and yield similar results as you described. However, once I deviate from my normal routine all bets are off.

    I can definitely relate...but unfortunately I just eliminate that location from my repertoire. I've had all sorts of potential show stoppers but still continue to go. I've been clean for 6 days now and getting back in to my recovery routine. Just taking it one day, one moment at a time.

  9. Hey I know its tough been there myself, How far do you live from them? It may be a good idea not to be in that area you dont want to test yourself on this dont drive in those areas. I stopped going to those places because the news broke a story on my favoirite one that the cops had the place under watch, you dont want to be in there with your pants down if the cops are looking to make a story for the news and come threw the door. I could not sleep for days after that story broke it was a huge wake up call for me and it stopped me. Your married with kids would you want them to see your face on tv? You can beat this message me if you need more help

    Appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Not to sound confrontational, but I've clearly thought about everything you've mentioned...thousands of times. I have a major addiction and despite those horrible thoughts and destroying my family, I've struggled with staying away. That is my primary addiction. It's like telling an alcoholic who loves to drink and drive not to drink and drive because they'll kill someone. Many alcoholics still do it.

    Unfortunately, I live within 15 minutes in any direction of at least 10 or 12 of them. However, I rarely drive near them and they don't even trigger me like that. The triggers come from inside my brain. I'm grateful to be sober from my addiction today so far. Thanks for the support and offer to chat. It truly means a lot and is why I am here yet again.
     
  11. I dont think it was confrontational at all, You sound alot like me when i was DEEP into massage parolrs and escorts. We all no basicly the risk of doing it , I know when i was at my peak with it I even had a name for it which was "MR I DONT GIVE A SHIT" I didnt care about anything but getting those needs met . Driving to those places the last thought on my mind was getting busted , sti , getting robbed having a family member see me at those places. All which could happen but like i said I didnt give a shit .Thankfully when i was in that bad hobby the massage parlors were 35 miles away in one direction and out of my town. I wont lie to you and say i am fully cured and never think of them there are times now when if the right oppertunity arose I dont know how I would act. I still have memories of it but those memories almost always include the good never the guilt and shame i felt driving home. The offer to chat privatly on here is still good stay strong buddy

    Streetwalkers, massage parlors, escorts. I've acted out with dozens of prostitutes.

    For me, One is too many and a thousand is never enough.

    And God is bigger than all this. So there's hope

    I stopped going to massage parlor in my town about 8 months ago. I used to really enjoy it. Kinda a mini vacation during my day. At least that is what I would tell myself.
    It got weird towards then end. The building had numerous surveillance cameras. In some of the rooms there were screens showing what was being filmed, the entrance, the main hallway, stuff like that. I was confident there weren't any cameras in the rooms.
    What freaked me out was when I went to another location. They had the exact same cameras, logo, brand, style.
    Also all the woman were from China. They lived in LA but would come up to my town for weeks to work. Why only Chinese? They were never from any other Asian country.
    Where was that surveillance tape going? Who was going to see it? It made me very uncomfortable.
    Who you are gets out eventually. What you are doing in secret will be exposed.
    I stopped going to that place. I drive past it all the time. I have no temptation to go back through the door there. I forgot about it till I just sat down and am writing this.
    We can all do better in life and we know it. This is one area I don't miss from my past.
