Sexual addiction is challenging and far more difficult than drug or alcohol addiction
in my opinion. (See, I can use the Shift Key.) Alcoholics can say, "I have 23 days
without drinking." What can sex addicts say, "I have 23 days without thinking?"
Sexual desire is a part of who we are, but you can start by staying away from
the porn. I used to be obsessed with porn and let the obsession destroy my
life and the lives of those around me. Like the alcoholic, there's no "cutting down"
on the porn...it is far too demanding to allow such a thing. You have to stop all
porn viewing and related media. I think you'll find that your desire for men will
still be there but that the sexual obsession will grow back to normal healthy
desires. At least that's been my experience.
Ok, so I'm obsessing with cross-dressing at the moment, lol (pardon the text
language...should I say "giggle tee hee?") but porn and the intense sexual
thoughts that once controlled me no longer have dominate me. It took a
life catastrophe (many) to wake me up but life goes on and yours will, too.
It sounds like you are dealing with the "poor me" junk that I deal with sometimes.
It helps to focus on others who are in need to help us get the focus off ourselves.
Maybe consider finding a charity that means something to you where you could
offer help of some kind (please, not a boys soccer team). If we concern ourselves
with other who are hurting, often our problems take onless importance to us.
*Note to community: Sorry if my informality in my Posts caused difficulty for any.
I'll try to make better use of my college and grad school education in the future.
Ye Gods I hate the shift key first thing in the morning.
