Have a serious question for you guys 1

Yes, they are related.

 

Yes, your brain is addicted not only to erotic stuff, but also novelty. When you are addict, your brain is looking for more and more shocking things, so your taste changes.

 

Yes, I experience lots of drastic escalation. You should not trust your brain until succesful reboot.

 

No one wakes up one day thinking, "THIS is the day I'm gonna turn into a perverted sexual freak!" It's usually a progression, often due to the desire for novelty, like Gary said. The normal straight stuff doesn't do it anymore, so you look for weirder stuff that does. In my personal experience, I have developed some weird kinks, but after months and years of abandoning them, they're totally gone. Now, obviously I'm still in rebooting, so now I have other kinks to work out, but the point is, your sexuality is somewhat plastic. Stop bathing it in poison, start controlling your thoughts, and it should get a lot better.

 

Yes it was a process for me, porn, insecurities, loneliness, there were mamy aspects and it took time to fall for the trap. (Pun not intended)
