    Hi all,

    I was born in South Africa and left for Saudi Arabia when I was 6 (I'm not Muslim by the way).
    While I was there I gradually developed a strange fetishes. One was Islamic clothing (especially the Turkish Esharp) the other being execution (of a female subject) both of those go against my principals as I hate Islam and hate killing.

    I almost think my Fetish is more embarrassing than traditional porn. It's so dorky, stupid and hypocritical of me.

    Has anyone had similar fetishes to mine and how does it effect one compared to traditional pornography? Does it change how I should go about quitting masturbation?

    @Kikisjulay welcome to nofap. I am not sure about your porn history but it sounds like you are experiencing what is known as Coolidge effect. The fetish you have may change or you may acquire new fetishes in addiction to the current ones, if you continued to use porn so you need to address the root cause. Don't worry about one particular fetish because the damage PMO is doing to you is much more greater and that should really be your cause of concern.
    I encourage you to come here regularly and learn more about the issue and how you can address it.
    I wish you good luck!

    Welcome! I'm glad you're here.

    I haven't had those fetishes, but look around, you'll find all kinds of experiences here.

    I have no idea whether you should take a different approach. My guess is that what works for others will help you. Look around the site, learn and develop a plan. Keep coming back!

    Welcome, you are not unique.. thats not an insult it means you are among like minded people.
    That all have the same desire to stop the actions that drive their addiction.
    It also means you are not alone some may not have your experiences but most will undeerrstand
    your struggle and pain....... look around the forum and there are as many avenues in this addiction as there are streets in a city.
    Glad your here...

    I was hesitant to read the replies, that felt really cringy... I guess it's fine then? What's PMO?
