    I'm making progress towards a sober lifestyle with some resets here and there. I've been able to manage my desires more frequently now so I feel like I'm on the right track. But lately I've been having disturbing urges/thoughts such as electrocution during sexual activity or crazy anal stuff during masturbation. I'm single and working on hard mode. I have no idea where these are coming from. I've never looked at bondage or violent sex. My template is for the young but I've only gone there a few times.

    Any thoughts or advice?

    I suppose it is the part of you that is angry for not being able to watch pornography so it send you those kind of signals so break you. Do not give up.

  3. sometimes you want to go for a nice walk- sometimes you want to skydive but don't.
    sometimes I want a beer- sometimes I imagine drinking vodka to excess- but I don't.
    You brain stores all sorts of stuff- its random. When it needs a buzz it might just try out something new. If you pay too much attention to it you will reinforce it and it will return. Watch it pass my like a cloud in the sky or the bus you don't want to catch. don't pay it any mind or it will fill your mind.

    I am not suggesting you are fantasizing about these things per se. But any sexual daydreaming is harmful to your reboot and can be the cause of intrusive sexual scenarios and desires. If you have some taste for taboo genres, your brain may be tossing you a few bones. :oops: But the key is to act immediately and replace unwanted thoughts and images with good stuff.

    Yup, do NOT make the mistake of thinking that those thoughts are somehow from deep within. They're not. I also agree with the above quotes where guys talk about it being your brain just wanting a buzz and also trying to break you. Since you're on hard mode, your brain is doing anything/everything it can to get its "meds" AKA dopamine, etc. Don't worry, this is just the side effects of all the porn abuse you've gone through. Don't take those thoughts personally. They aren't yours and they have nothing to do with you. Brush them off. You are MUCH more than your fringe thoughts.

  7. I have super strong urges today
     
  8. take your own advice from yesterday. Your brain wants its meds and kicks- get up- go out, do something physical or absorbing and those clouds will pass on by
     
  9. Thanks. I did and it did go away. But it came back
     
  10. that's annoying.....keep going, in it to win it....plus other annoying aphorisms. take care
