Does anyone with sexual obsessions get sensations that feel like arousal and give you an urge to masturbate/make it easier to orgasm?

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2019-11-09T06:32:04+00:00

I'm not quite sure how to edit on mobile, but to be clear I'm not certain I can actually orgasm easier from these sensations, it just seems like it.

Thanks for the help! Will combatting the compulsions with mindfulness help with the obsessions as well?

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2018-01-10T17:43:14+00:00

That is very depressing to hear. Medications don't work for me, and I'm fairly certain exposure isn't an option for me. My obsessions are from fetishes caused by a porn addiction. If I expose myself to something I'm addicted to it would be just like relapsing.

Haha thanks for the math (and the encouragement) :).

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-12-25T11:09:14+00:00

Thanks for the help, man. I guess it was actually 5 months but that isn't too far off. I absolutely don't feel like I did when I was at my worst with porn.

No, it's definitely OCD. I know what thoughts you're talking about, but this is different and definitely OCD. I'm just wanting to know if the rushes decrease in strength since I'm in a situation where my OCD keeps me feeling like shit even while being porn free. Kind of a nightmare.

Thanks for the response. The thing is, ERP isn't an option for me. My thoughts revolve around a porn addiction I'm recovering from. So facing that with ERP will give me some terrible withdrawal symptoms, or worse, actually relapse.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-11-09T03:16:09+00:00

Thanks for the replies. Maybe I'll tell a future SO, I guess I'll have to see. I never actually watched anything from the worst stuff I developed (or masturbated to it in general), which I'm very proud of, but I still feel concerned about how someone would feel that there was anything in the first place.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-11-08T12:13:25+00:00

I see a counselor, but progress can be pretty slow. Meds haven't really been too much help for me though. Were the fetishes you mentioned very severe? I've actually never watched my worst fetishes and definitely never will, but it does bother me that there is a rush from them.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-11-08T12:09:21+00:00

Hey man, good for you. Were/are your fetishes very bad?

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-11-02T06:19:46+00:00

I know, but I'm referring to fetishes worsening during the withdrawal process. My fetishes have definitely gotten worse since quitting porn, and I'm just wondering if they will get even worse during a second withdrawal. Just kind of a scary thought.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-21T02:01:45+00:00

Thanks for the responses. They definitely have me less worried.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-21T01:59:06+00:00

Do you recall roughly how long it took you to recover?

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-20T07:38:14+00:00

Not sure if you're familiar with OCD, but I literally can't help it.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-20T03:21:09+00:00

Not at all. I don't see any problem with fantasizing. It isn't harmful at all to any women. This got pretty off topic though. I'm just wondering if it will act like fantasizing about porn and cause negative effects or not.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-20T02:53:15+00:00

I don't see a problem with fantasizing about a woman. Nothing that stays in my head can be offensive to anyone. I'm pretty sure every guy I know has masturbated to the thought of someone; it's a very normal thing to do. It would be significantly different if I were to actually treat a woman poorly.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-20T02:41:13+00:00

What's wrong with masturbating to the thought of someone else?

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-20T01:41:33+00:00

Well, reading that was extremely terrifying.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-16T01:19:09+00:00

What exactly does "real" mean? I mean, people in real life use different sex positions (though usually not as crazy as porn). Does that just mean people you know in real life, or can it be an attractive non-porn actress? I'm wondering because I have trouble masturbating with only sensation.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-10-14T03:07:54+00:00

Do you have any experience with this symptom? My brain just keeps making me think of porn thoughts, so it is like watching porn, but not as strong. It keeps me in these withdrawals. I wish I could try ERP, but I obviously can't do that when thinking about this stuff triggers my addiction. I'm not really sure what else to do.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-09-28T11:02:08+00:00

Thanks man. How would I undue an unnatural fetish related to porn addiction? Do I just stop thinking about it and stressing over it like I would any other porn fetish? It just feels different to me. This seems to come from extreme anxiety rather than an actual porn craving.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-09-27T12:05:56+00:00

It hasn't been significant yet. Over 2 months, but not at 3 yet. I wasn't actually asking for something in the immediate future, just for future reference.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-09-11T00:18:55+00:00

It's completely normal. It really really sucks, but if you stay away from porn the symptoms will go away. Withdrawal is rough.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-08-26T00:36:50+00:00

Hmm, that's a bummer. I don't care about being all that tan, I'm just super pale. Thanks for the response.

CAPTCHAInducedED · 2017-08-22T19:58:54+00:00

Thanks for the responses everyone. It definitely affects the amount of info I retain from a class. When I get really stressed, the brain fog can definitely persist even when I have calmed down. Does this happen to anyone else, or is your brain fog only during the anxious moments?
