Have I given myself this fetish?

[AnAverageGuy23]

Basically I think I may have given myself an incest fetish, thinking back I can't remember anything like this when I was younger, I always remember thinking things like that were disgusting it's something we would call eachother to insult eachother. I never watched that stuff for porn and whenever something came up in the new videos like step brother step sister if always be like what the f***. I also have OCD so something did spike me and make me check I wasn't aroused by it of corse I found it disgusting at first, but I kept checking because obviously it wasn't good enough I ended up trying to masturbate to it finding I could and now I feel like it arouses me? I've always been happy having so called 'vanilla sex' in the past, but I think I've gave myself that fetish through my porn use, is that possible, can I do anything about it, have any of you experienced anything like it?

IMO, all fetishes are "fed". What once repulsed becomes the norm. Brains rewire. You just need to do what you "know" you must to start breaking the connections. Don't feed it anymore.

Yes. It is very well possible that you developed that fetish as the process of tolerance took place and your brain was seeking out a bigger blast of dopamine to get the same feeling of excitement. Things that are novel, shocking, kinky, forbidden etc. all amp up the brains reward circuit. This can lead to conditioned your sexual response to things that at one time were not desired or attractive.

Escalating into material that was once not desired is one of the most common things shared among frequent porn users. In my case I escalated into stuff that didn't even qualify as sex. The good news. Most rebooters report a decline or complete removal of their porn-induced fetishes after a reboot. The best thing to do is reboot and see what happens.

Welcome to the Nation man. Journal and track your reboot and get continued support! Hope the best for you

Thanks free thinker, I'm really determined to not feed it anymore because it's got to some messed up stuff to really give myself a kick up the ass. Thanks Gabe I'll give that a read I've seen your videos and things and they're great I didn't really take this that seriously though, I really am now though. I'm not sure how to journal? Is it something you do on this site or do you mean just write things down? Thanks for the responses guys gives me real hope
